Key Topics & Discussions

1. Financial Markets & Gas Prices

[02:17–04:16]

• Stock Market Recap: The Dow closed down 800 (from -1100 at one point), “still a big move, but S&P and Nasdaq relatively stable.”
• Oil Spike: Oil up $5, topping $80/barrel (from $55 just weeks prior).
  • Eric Bolling predicts: “I think [the] Trump administration...will make some announcement to ease the pressure on the oil market. It’s getting too close to midterms.” (04:00)
• Consumer Impact: Higher oil and jet fuel prices to push up gasoline and airline prices within 45–60 days.
• Cryptocurrency: Bitcoin retreated from $74k to $70k.
• Healthcare Plug: America’s Health Share promoted as a faith and freedom-based alternative to traditional insurance.

2. D.C. Political Turbulence & Kristi Noem’s Firing

[05:30–13:05]

a. Noem's Ouster as Secretary of DHS

[06:33–13:05]

• Brian Glenn Reports:

  • Noem was dismissed while on the road in Nashville.
  • Primary reasons: unauthorized $200 million DHS ad campaign (Trump unaware), Minnesota border/immigration debacle, and rumors of a personal affair.
    • “That strike one. Number two...questions about the leadership...And then lastly, he had his concerns about an alleged affair...” —Brian Glenn [06:51]
  • Glenn: “Nobody can question that Kristi Noem was not doing a fabulous job as far as securing our country.”
  • New DHS pick: Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin, “kind of a tough guy” with military/MMA background, expected to be confirmed by March 31.

• Bolling's Analysis:

  • The affair rumors with Corey Lewandowski are old news, but the Minneapolis incident was “the nail in the coffin.”
  • “These commercials that she’s been on horseback...they’ve been around for a while, too. So none of that is new other than...Minneapolis, what turned out to be a disaster.” —Eric Bolling [09:03]
  • High cost of the ad campaign ($219m) is “exorbitant.”

b. Senate Seat Ramifications

[10:41–12:09]

• Pulling Mullin for DHS means Oklahoma’s seat is temporarily vacated; governor will appoint a replacement until a special election.
• “Oklahoma is very deep red. A liberal is not going to take over that seat at all.” —Brian Glenn [11:12]
• Bolling notes this could impact Senate majority calculations during a volatile legislative season.

3. Capitol Hill Disruption: Marine Corps Vet Protests Support for Israel

[13:09–16:33]

• Segment Features: Video of Brian McGinnis, Marine vet and NC Senate candidate, disrupting a Senate Armed Services hearing to protest American involvement in “war for Israel.”
  • McGinnis (protesting, forcibly removed): “No one wants to fight for Israel, man!” [13:29]
  • The incident escalates; McGinnis is injured while being ejected, a senator assists Capitol Police.
• Commentary:
  • Glenn: “That was the most aggressive I’ve ever seen of any protest inside any building on Capitol Hill.” [14:58]
  • Political implications: McGinnis is running Green Party, potentially siphoning votes in a tight North Carolina race.
  • “Probably gave him a few Democrat votes...” —Bolling [16:01]
• Sign-off: Glenn playfully dubbed “Swamp Slayer” for his ability to cut through D.C. nonsense.

4. Eric Bowling on Turning Points & Career Highlights

[16:51–18:41]

• Personal Reflection: Bolling discusses his trajectory from pro baseball to Wall Street oil trading to Fox News prime time.
• “Those moments in life where you either fail, or you take the bull by the horns and you win. I had the opportunity to speak in front of 19 million people in one day.”—Eric Bolling [16:52–18:41]
• Encourages listeners to subscribe to his “The Edge” podcast.

5. Tax Season Tips with Cameron Kinsey

[22:14–26:42]

• Common Issues:
  • Shock at how much people owe, fear of what’s due leading to procrastination.
  • “The worst thing...is panic and let this become a bigger problem...the second worst is ignoring it completely.” —Cameron Kinsey [22:34]
  • Even old, unfiled returns can be addressed; don’t try to negotiate penalties or set payment plans without professional help.
  • Filing, even when you can’t pay, shields you from larger penalties.
  • Service offered: CPAs, tax attorneys, and former IRS agents help negotiate with the IRS, explore penalty abatement, and keep “your money in your own pocket.”
    • “We don’t expect the average American to know the tax code inside and out like our professionals.” —Kinsey [24:49]

6. More on Kristi Noem’s Firing: A Border Security Perspective

[26:43–31:42] Guest: Art Del Cueto

• Immediate Reaction: “It is shocking. But…I think we can’t take away what a fantastic job she did as the Secretary of Homeland Security. She is the best Secretary of Homeland Security we have ever had and she inherited a mess.” —Art Del Cueto [27:05]
• Skeptical of “fired”—suggests she’s simply been moved; expects her to land another high-level post.
• Main cause: “$219 million ad buy that DHS made. Trump says he didn’t know...That seems...the straw that broke the camel’s back.” —Bolling [28:00]
• On personal rumors: “I won’t even say I like Corey [Lewandowski], I love Corey…All I can do is judge her on what she’s done…she’s been the best we’ve ever had.” —Del Cueto [28:43]
• Del Cueto bemoans opportunists backtracking after defending her; maintains her “stats speak for themselves.” [30:17]
• On new DHS pick: Markwayne Mullin’s Senate record suggests the “right step”—but Del Cueto suggests Tom Holman (longtime border security advocate) may prefer to stay in his current role.

7. Progressive Politics Under Fire: The ‘Wokenator’ Segment

[35:42–40:59]

• Spotlight on the Texas Senate primary:
  • Progressive Jasmine Crockett loses, replaced by James Talarico (“the Wokenator”).
  • Memorable Talarico quotes:
    • “Poverty is violence. Pollution is violence. And yes, prison is violence...Build something new, something better, something rooted in love.” [36:09]
    • “Our southern border should be like our front porch. There should be a giant welcome mat out front and a lock on the door.” [37:26]
    • “Our trans community needs abortion care, too...when I use the word woman, it should not be understood as an exhaustive term…” [38:08]
    • “Modern science obviously recognizes there are many more than two biological sexes. In fact, there are six...” [39:03]
  • Bolling lampoons these positions, calls Talarico “the terminator of wokeness,” and highlights his old “white people spread disease” tweets from 2020.
    • Bolling: “This guy makes Sir Pumps-a-lot look like a Reaganite...less like a policy platform and more like a graduate seminar titled ‘America the Disease.’” [39:26]
• Segment underscores the host’s critical view of progressive Democratic politics and identity-based rhetoric.

8. White House Segment: President Trump Honoring Inter Miami

[40:59–64:31]

• Presidential remarks celebrate Inter Miami’s 2025 MLS Cup victory and FIFA Club World Cup triumph.
• Trump touts military victories and sanctions on Iran, Venezuela, and successful Cuban-American diplomacy.
  • “The United States military, together with the wonderful Israeli partners, continues to totally demolish the enemy far ahead of schedule and at levels people have never seen before…” [40:59]
• Oil price stabilization is credited to “decisive action” (risk insurance for Gulf tankers, market intervention).
• Trump reminisces about Lionel Messi (“my son said...he’s a big fan of yours, Messi”), draws comparisons to Pele, commends Miami’s record-setting season, and jokes about “good looking” athletes.
• He touts “all-time records” in the Dow and S&P, links sports success to national prosperity.
• Recognizes agency heads and politicians present, with typical flourishes.
  • Notable line: “So you’ll be perfectly safe with total immunity or you’ll face absolutely guaranteed death. And I don’t want to see that. They don’t want to see it either.” [Iran address, 40:59]
• Celebratory, meandering, and classic Trump oratory—using sports as a springboard for political messaging.
