Real America’s Voice: Bolling! — November 10, 2025

Overview

This episode of Bolling! on Real America’s Voice delivers a whirlwind tour through the current state of American politics, national security, Democratic Party infighting, cultural identity struggles, economic updates, and audience concerns—all through a distinctly conservative, “America First” lens. Host Eric Bolling and guests (including Eric Metaxas, John Jubilee, Lindy Lee, and a brief interview with Donald Trump) discuss the government shutdown, Democratic Party turmoil, the migration debate, urban American identity, economic conditions, and what they see as the unraveling of old political orders on both the left and the right.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

Presidential Interview: Trump on Domestic and Foreign Policy

[01:03–07:41]

• Trump boasts about foreign policy successes (“We have investments coming in like we've never had before. Please behind you, Caitlin…” [01:03])
• Ongoing U.S. engagement with Syria and potential for diplomatic progress:

  “We want to see Syria become a country that's very successful and I think this leader can do it. … Erdogan is a great leader and very much in favor of what's happening in Syria.” — Donald Trump [01:34]

• Acknowledgement of gruesome but meaningful exchanges between Israel and Hamas over bodies of deceased soldiers.
• Trump on trade negotiations: working on a deal with Switzerland to lower tariffs; mentions the symbolism of Swiss brands (Rolex) and Switzerland as an economically “very big” country.

  “Now look, it's a beautiful country. … We're working on something.” — Trump [03:09]

• Response to criticism from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene:

  “I don't know what happened to Marjorie. She's a nice woman, but I don't know what happened. She's lost her way, I think. … When you're president, you really have to watch over the world or you're going to be dragged into it.” — Trump [04:13]

• Defends global engagement due to the interconnectedness of global and domestic security/economic policy.
• Magnets and supply chains: DJT discusses China's monopoly and his tariff threat as decisive for national security (“Magnets are such a part. … China called up immediately, said, we will make peace.” [05:26])
• Foreign policy as economic policy:

  "The world is turning out to be our biggest customer. … The world was on fire, and we could have been in that fire very easily if you didn't have a president that knew what he was doing." — Trump [06:55]

• Travel infrastructure: Trump claims historic investment in air traffic control systems, contrasts with previous administration’s failures.

  "We are now in the process … of getting the finest system anywhere in the world." — Trump [07:51]

---

Economic Markets & “Trump’s $2,000 Stimulus”

[10:11–11:53]

• Eric Metaxas highlights a massive surge in equity and gold markets, Bitcoin holding steady.

  “When Trump announced $2,000 for every American...I think it was a major positive spin on that. … When people have more free money that comes at them, they spend it.” — Metaxas [10:52]

• Market movements attributed to government reopening and anticipated stimulus/tax credits.
• Broader context: 2025 defined by “trade wars” and “military tensions.”

---

The Democratic Party’s “Identity Crisis”

[15:50–22:09] Guest: Eric Metaxas

• Dems’ old guard is fading (Schumer, Pelosi) as the Party is pulled leftward by “radical Marxist lunatics” like AOC, Dick Durbin, Mamdani.

  “It’s joyful to see Chuck Schumer fail as badly as he fails, but you don't know what to think—who's worse?” — Eric Metaxas [16:25]

• Analogy to the right: Trumpism rendering “RINOs” (Bush, McCain, Romney) obsolete.
• Cultural institutions are drifting center/right out of self-preservation (CBS partnering with The Free Press, Zuckerberg adjusting Facebook).
• “Common sense liberal” figures like Fetterman are rare; otherwise, “people just doubled down on power. They went radical left and they're gone.” [18:17]

---

New York, Communism, and Muslim Visibility

[20:59–25:46]

• Migration & economic exodus in blue states: Metaxas predicts the failure of left-wing economic schemes.

  “The only way communism works...is if he has a dictatorship. … People are going to leave. Corporations are going to leave. Billionaires are going to leave.” — Metaxas [20:59]

• Cultural conflict and urban identity: Ground Zero mosque controversy; Times Square Muslim prayer; tension between American values and Islamic visibility.

  “Radical Islam...is not compatible with American values. … It’s one thing to be welcoming … but when those values begin to impinge on your life, at some point you say, ‘excuse me, no.’” — Metaxas [23:05]

• Tourism and business flight predicted if NYC policy becomes too radical or perceived as un-American.

---

Health & Wellness Segment: Weight Loss vs. Fat Loss

[27:11–29:32] Guest: John Jubilee

• Fat loss vs. weight loss (“You never, ever want to lose your lean muscle. … One thing guarantees longevity and high quality of life ... it is your strength.” — John Jubilee [28:55])
• Current weight-loss drugs (GLP1s) seen as harmful because they allegedly cause loss of lean muscle, not just fat.
• Energize Health Protocol: focuses on “intracellular hydration” and resetting metabolism.

---

Democratic Party & Urban Politics: Lindy Lee Segment

[30:24–35:55] Guest: Lindy Lee

• Former Democrat Lindy Lee criticizes party for lurching towards socialism/Marxism, with figures like Zoran Mamdani, Jasmine Crockett, Ilhan Omar, and AOC.

  “I was born in a communist regime, and I can tell you…it means nothing but chaos and pain and pandemonium and suffering.” — Lindy Lee [32:02]

• Predicts mass exodus of taxpayers from high-tax blue states, leading to a negative feedback loop for cities like NYC.
• Argues increase in illegal immigration is motivated by the quest for congressional power:

  “The more illegals they have in a state, the more federal power they have and the more congressional seats.” — Lee [34:22]

• Argues putting Americans first should be "the highest act of patriotism and love." [34:53]

---

Government Shutdown/Political Leverage

[36:09–40:26]

• Extended shutdown described as a “leverage” tool by Democrats; audio montage of party members describing shutdown as necessary for political negotiations.

  “This is why politics, the swamp is so disgusting. They all lie through their teeth.” — Metaxas [38:04]

• Both parties accused of using shutdowns for political gain rather than public interest.
• Bernie Sanders and AOC painted as caring more about power than people.

---

Voicemail/Listener Q&A

[46:47–51:57]

• Concern over “Somalian invasion” in Minnesota; advice: the only recourse is to vote (“the American way”).
• Complaint on “price gouging” by corporations; hosts urge listeners to confront local retailers, contact congresspeople, and vote.
• Query about past anti-communist practices (“didn’t we used to arrest communists?”); historical context on McCarthyism and changed norms.

  “Hopefully he'll be here another 250 years. But we do run the risk. When you see makeshift mosques, people praying in Times Square, it scares the living daylights out of this host right here.” — Eric Metaxas [51:12]

[Donald Trump]

App so we had the greatest economy. Everything was good, but we're really outdoing at this time because we have investments coming in largely because of tariffs and I think because of November 5th, the election result. But we have investments coming in like we've never had before. Please behind you, Caitlin, behind you. Thank you, Caitlyn. On Syria, can we expect an announcement.

[Eric Metaxas]

On a path pact between Syria and.

[Interviewer/Host]

Israel or an announcement on them joining the anti.

[Donald Trump]

Yeah, you can expect some announcements on Syria. We want to see Syria become a country that's very successful and I think this leader can do it. I really do. I think this leader can do it. And people said he's had a rough past. We've all had rough pasts. But he has had a rough past. And I think frankly, if you didn't have a rough past, you wouldn't have a chance. He gets along very well with Turkey, with President Erdogan is a great leader. Erdogan is a great leader and very much in favor of what's happening in Syria. We have to make Syria work. Syria is a big part of the Middle east and I will tell you, I think it is working and really well. We're working also with Israel on, you know, getting along with Syria, getting along with everybody and that's working amazingly. As you know, Hamas has given us back numerous bodies. It sounds pretty gruesome, but it's something the parents want more than if their son had been living. Hard to believe. It's I've seen all of the parents, so many of the parents and getting back the body of their son, their Dead son is as vital to them, as important to them as if the boy was. Generally the boy. The boy was alive. And as you know, over the last four or five days, we've gotten a lot of the additional bodies that they said they were going to. They've worked very hard to do that. So we have peace in the Middle East. It's a great thing, and nobody's ever seen anything quite like it. Last week about trade talks with Switzerland.

[Eric Metaxas]

We're reporting that you're near a deal.

[Donald Trump]

That would lower their rates with Switzerland. Yeah, we're working on a deal to get their tariffs a little bit lower.

[Eric Metaxas]

Because that's what we're doing.

[Donald Trump]

No, I haven't said any number, but we're going to be working on something to help Switzerland along. We hit Switzerland very hard. We want Switzerland to remain successful. And, you know, we're a part of Switzerland in the sense that they've been a very good ally. Yeah, we're working on them and some others, and we're working on others to increase them a little bit, too. How close is it? Switzerland? What do you have something to do with Switzerland? He wants to buy a nice one. He wants to buy a nice Rolex. Right. We'll give Rolex some publicity because Rolex has been. They've been very nice, you know. Now, look, it's a beautiful country. It's. It's a small country, but economically very big. So we're working on something. Caitlin.

[Eric Bolling]

President, earlier today, Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is a big ally of yours, said that she would rather see you focused.

[Interviewer/Host]

On nonstop domestic policy meetings here at.

[Eric Bolling]

The White House instead of nonstop foreign policy meetings.

[Interviewer/Host]

What's your response to her saying that.

[Eric Bolling]

And also saying that grocery prices are.

[Interviewer/Host]

Up and not down, as you said.

[Donald Trump]

Yeah.

[John Jubilee]

So.

[Donald Trump]

I don't know what happened to Marjorie. She's a nice woman, but I don't know what happened. She's lost her way, I think. But I have to view the presidency as a worldwide situation, not locally. I mean, we could have a world that's on fire, where wars come to our shores very easily. If you had a bad president, we had a horrible president, and we ended up with Russia, Ukraine, and we ended up with other disasters, too. Don't forget. I put out eight wars, nine to come. I think I'll get the other one taken care of. But I put out eight wars, and look at the damage that Russia, Ukraine has done to us as a country. I mean, we spent $350 billion. We're not spending any money anymore. Now they pay us through NATO. You know, I got NATO to go from 2% to 5%. Well, that's very important. When you're president, you really sort of have to watch over the world because you're going to be dragged into it. Otherwise you're going to be dragged into a world war. I think if I weren't president, first of all, that war would have never happened if I was president. And if I weren't president, that war could have led to World War three. It won't. It's not going to anymore. But when I first got in, I said, wow, this situation could lead to World War Three. And I got NATO together, I got everybody together. But with all of that, I passed a great big beautiful bill which is the biggest tax cuts in the history of our country. So when somebody like Marjorie Taylor Greene, who's now catering to the other side, I don't know what, you know, I guess she's, you know, got some kind of an accurate. But I'm surprised at her. But when somebody like Marjorie goes over and starts making statements like that, it shows she doesn't know. I don't devote a lot of my time. Let me give you another example. China. China was going to hit us with rare earth. Now everybody says, what does that mean? Magnets. If China refused to give magnets, because they have a monopoly on magnets, because they were allowed to happen over a 32 year period, there wouldn't be a car made in the entire world. There wouldn't be a radio, there wouldn't be a television, there wouldn't be Internet, there wouldn't be anything. Magnets are such a part. Now, nobody knows what magnets are and not overly sophisticated, but to build a magnet system would take two years. So if I were unable to say to China, look, if you're going to do that to us, we're going to charge you 158% tariff. It was 100% on top of 58%. And China called up immediately, said, we will make peace. And we made peace. We made a great deal. We made an unbelievable deal. China is paying tariffs to the United States, not the United States paying tariffs to China, which has always been the way it was. Nobody can believe these deals, but so when somebody makes a statement about he's devoting time to the world, well, the world is the United States. Because if the world's in trouble or if the world is ripping us off, you know, the world was ripping us off before I came here. Europe was getting massive tariffs. They were sending us 9,10 million cars a year. We were sending them none. They were not taking our. Our agriculture. We were taking massive amounts of their. It was so unfair. Now we have a deal where $950 billion is coming into the United States because of me and because of tariffs. So if I don't do all these things, our country is doing very poorly. So, you know, it's easy to say, oh, don't worry about the world, but the world is turning out to be our biggest customer. The world is. The world was on fire. And we could have been in that fire very easily if you didn't have a president that knew what he was doing.

[Interviewer/Host]

Can you guarantee to Americans that travel.

[Eric Bolling]

Is going to be. Go back to normal once the government.

[Donald Trump]

The travel is going to go better than normal. You know why?

[Eric Bolling]

When the government reopens?

[Donald Trump]

Yeah, sure, it'll be much better than normal because we're buying the most sophisticated avionics and, you know, technology for our control towers. And we didn't have that. We had a guy named Buttigieg. Boot Edge. Edge is the best way. Just say two edges, like off the edge of a cliff, which is where they were taking us, by the way. Boot Edge. Edge was the Secretary of transportation and he spent billions of dollars trying to patch together our air control, our air traffic control system, which was a conglomeration of all different systems in all different cities. He spent. They had hundreds of countries, companies working on it, and they were spending billions of dollars. And when they turned it on, it didn't work. It didn't even work a little bit. That's why you had a helicopter crashing into an airplane. That if we had a great system that bells and whistles would have started going off. So we are now in the process, we're in final bids of getting the finest system anywhere in the world. I've analyzed it. Sean Duffy has been working really hard on it, doing a fantastic job, by the way. And over the next two or three weeks, we'll be handing out the finest air traffic control system anywhere in the world. All the towers will be equipped. They were going copper wire into glass wire into other types of wire. And if you knew anything, you know, copper wire doesn't work with glass. You know, glass doesn't work with other substances. And they spent billions of dollars. And when they turned it on, nothing happened. Okay, we're getting the most sophisticated, all brand new, all brand new. Every control tower will have the same exact system. It'll be the most sophisticated system by far in the world. And what we've done is we've looked around other countries and we've taken the absolute best systems in every different form because there are different. You have lots of different companies like IBM and Raytheon and a lot of great companies. They're all bidding and we're going to pick the best one and it'll get built relatively quickly. And we are going to have the greatest air traffic control system anywhere in the world. Thank you very much, everybody. Thank you. Thank you.

[Eric Metaxas]

Alrighty, folks, you were listening to President Trump in the Oval Office swearing in our new Ambassador to India, Mr. Sergio Gore. Interesting, interesting choice there. Before we get to our first guest, very quickly, let's talk about the markets they were ripping up today. Straight up across the board, the dow up almost 400 points. Nasdaq up 522 points. S P up 100 points. And check this one out, folks. 4118. That's the price for one ounce of gold, up $109 today alone. Hitting a brand new high. Oil up a little bit. That was good news. It didn't really follow the rest of the market. Crypto had a. Interesting day. I would call it interesting day. Bitcoin 100 5600. Up a little bit, but certainly not as much as the others. The equity markets were strong. I'm trying to figure out what was causing all this. Some of it was maybe the relationships with China were coming through. I think a lot of people were looking at somehow the opening. The government was going to be bullish. I will tell you one thing, though. When Trump announced $2,000 for every American, he said every American gets $2,000. I think it was a major positive spin on that. That was. This happened once before. Trump did this in his first time as president. He offered $1,200 and that was the beginning of a major bull market move because when people have more free money that comes at them, they spend it. That's what they tend to do. Trump said $2,000 for every American. Bessant. Scott Bessant came on over the weekend and said, well, hold on for a second. It may be in the form of a tax credit. I don't think anyone heard that. I think the markets were certainly looking for reasons to move up in the market. So you saw a monster move up. I'm pretty sure the S and P, that's a new record high. I will check that. Talk to me, guys. Talk to me, guys. Oh, let's do this. Since, since we're talking about $109 higher on an ounce of gold. Listen to this. It's the one time of year that Birch Gold, they give away free gold with every qualifying purchase. That's right for, for just for Black Friday, I should say when you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax sheltered IRA in birch gold. Birch Gold will send you free gold to your home for every $20,000 purchase. Look, gold started this year around $2,600 an ounce. Start of the year. What are we 11 months into the year? Not even 26 now it's 42. $4,118 by October. Over $4,000 now. 4,118. Why? Obviously global uncertainty 2025 has been defined by trade wars. Central banks are pulling from the US dollar as the global reserve currency and military tensions continue to build across the country, across the world really. Gold thrives in times of uncertainty. And if you're looking to diversify your savings, if you haven't done it yet, folks, you got to do it. Get into gold. Birch Gold can help you. Plus now through November 30th, get a free gold. Get free Gold. So I'm sorry, with a qualifying purchase, just text the word America to 989-898. That's America to 989-898 to claim your eligibility and for a free info kit on gold.

[Eric Metaxas]

How about we bring in a bestselling author of a book called Ben Huffer? You can look it up. The founder and host of Success Socrates in the City and host of the Eric Metaxas radio show. Always happy to have Eric Metaxas join us. Eric, do us a favor. Let's we're watching this because you're in New York. You spend time in New York. We're watching Chuck Schumer now all of a sudden there's a looks like a deal that's going to pass through the Senate, head over to the House and then they're going to have their own issues with it. But, but it looks like. And where is Chuck Schumer in all this? I think both sides have had their, their political fill of Chuck Schumer going forward. What are your thoughts on it?

[Guest Eric Metaxas]

Listen, it's hard to know what to think. Chuck Schumer has always been a political hack. He's always been awful. But what's funny I think to a lot of us is that he's now been outflanked by the people to his left. AOC and company. They're radical Marxist lunatics. The same thing happened. Why is Nancy Pelosi leaving? Their day is done. They basically handed the baton to the radical Marxists, to the crazies, the Mamdanis. So you know In a way, it's joyful to see Chuck Schumer fail as badly as he fails, but you don't know what to think. I mean, who's worse? I guess Eric is the question, you know, which side is worse? They're just, they're terrible. And I think most Americans have kind of finally woken up to this, that the Democrats have nothing to give us, nothing to do.

[Eric Metaxas]

It feels like. And on the right, we, you know, I come from years and years, you know, since I knew what politics was of conservative. And I realized early that Trump had a new brand of conservative politics. Trumpism, America first mag, whatever you call it, it was different and it really did make rhinos dinosaurs. Right? The, the, the, all the Bushes changed, all of the old school rhinos, even John Thune, I would call, I put him in that group. It made them dinosaurs. And they're slowly moving out over time. On the left, it feels the same way. Right now. It's a form of almost communism really, with what they're doing, socialism. But it feels like the old school centrists are moving out. I did notice Dick Durbin. Dick Durbin, I would call him, one of the radicals on the left did vote to. He jumped over to the Republicans to open the government, which was absolutely shocking to me. Is he trying to salvage his own political career? What's going on here?

[Guest Eric Metaxas]

Well, you're seeing this not just in politics, you're seeing it in the culture at large. Right? In other words, you look at cbs. CBS said, oh, let's go to Bari Weiss and the free press. Maybe they can save us from oblivion. So you have some smart people, whether it's corporate America, whether it's Zuckerberg at Facebook who have some wisdom and they're saying, we want to salvage our brand. So we're going to tack a little bit toward the right. We're not going to be full on woke lunatics. And then you have people that they're in a death spiral. And so a lot of the people on the left, listen, a lot of the folks like, I mean, we saw it with Joe Biden. We used to think of him as kind of a moderate, you know, Scranton Joe, but they sold their souls for power. They basically said, whatever the left wants, we're going to give it to him. We feel like that's our only viable option. That was the wrong choice. And those guys are all going down the drain. Those figures like a Fetterman, for example, who have some common sense. In this day and age, if you're a liberal with common Sense. We'll go with that. Anybody who has any common sense, most Americans go, listen, we don't have to agree on everything. But if you have basic common sense, if you care about the American people, if you get it right once in a while, we'll give you a chance. People like Chuck Schumer, people like Nancy Pelosi, they just doubled down on power. They went radical left and they're gone. And I think it's a good thing. And as far as the right goes, if it weren't for Donald Trump, how many of us would have ever woken up to the fact that the Republicans, it was part of the unit party? I mean, I can't believe I thought George Bush was doing a good job compared to Trump. You realize Bush, Romney, McCain, all the people that we thought, well, they're sort of okay. Turns out they weren't okay.

[Eric Metaxas]

Yeah, no, no kidding. They, they were. They're part of the problem. They were swampsters. They just realized that there was a game that was being played. Stay in the middle, hat tip the other side when they got the ball, when they win the elections and because you'll get the ball back when you win the elections and then you just make government bigger and bigger and grift off the American taxpayer more and more their dinosaurs. They're moving out. You mentioned Fetterman. He. He might as well be a Republican at this point. I mean, no, he wants to be. I've seen him hanging out in Republican watering holes in D.C. you know, he wants to be there. He just probably can't pull the trigger. Mamdani wins a socialist. I would call him close to a Marxist, maybe a communist. I know it's a sliding scale of the same thing. One's worse than the other, one's more extreme than the other. You're in New York, Eric Metaxas. Is it going to be Eric Metak? Texas? Are you going to move to a free state like Texas or Florida with a guy like mom dummy running, running the show in New York?

[Guest Eric Metaxas]

This is. Everybody can rejoice in this, okay? The only way communism works, the only way Imam Donnie can succeed, is if he has a dictatorship. If he can force people not to leave New York, which he can't, but if he could do that, then he can just put a gun to your head and say, I'm going to tax you 80% and take your money and give it to whoever he wants in New York City, in New York State, in America. It doesn't work that way. People are going to leave. Corporations are going to leave. Billionaires are going to leave. So when he tries to squeeze people, they're just going to leave. The money's going to go. So there is no way he can succeed in doing what he wants to do. So the only question is in the details, how's it going to break down? How quickly are people going to leave? We don't know. But his utopian scheme that he has sold all of these ignorant young people in Brooklyn, that cannot work. It doesn't even work if you have a dictatorship, but you can kind of make it work for a few decades if you're a thug. But you cannot make it work in New York. So it's going to be very entertaining season.

[Eric Metaxas]

So, Eric, I was at the World Trade center in New York City when, when the planes flew into the, into the World Trade Center, I watched them come down. I lost 16 very close friends, part of a trader, a floor trader group that I was part of. When the planes hit and the towers came down, one of the engines fell on top of a building near the World Trade Center. I'll never forget this. There was a group of Muslims that wanted to make that building a mosque. It was called the Ground Zero Mosque. I don't know if you remember that. We were, of course, who pushed back, aggressive against doing that, because one of the planes that killed 3,000 New Yorkers, the engine fell on the rooftop of one of those buildings. That's where they wanted, the Ground Zero Mosque. We pushed back. It didn't happen. Is this a whole new New York now? Are there going to be Ground Zero mosques and mosques everywhere? I think we have some vo of Muslims praying in Times Square. Is this city going to be recognizable to, to us New Yorkers of 40 years in now, starting now? Look at this. This is insane.

[Guest Eric Metaxas]

Eric. It remains, it remains to be seen. Listen, I just have to say, radical Islam, the kind of Islam you're seeing there, the kind of Islam that has taken over London and Paris, is not compatible with American values. Now, you have to understand what I mean by that. What I mean by that is if you want to be a Muslim in America, Americans are tolerant. We will tolerate you, whatever you want to do. But when you try to bring those values onto a larger scale, they conflict with our values of freedom. And so will Americans stand against this? I hope Americans stand against this. It's one thing to be welcoming and to say, you know, it's kind of like if a neighbor moves in and you say, well, I've got problems with their values, but they certainly have a Right to live there. But if those values begin to impinge on, on your life, at some point you say, excuse me, no, no, no, you cannot be, you know, doing that in the backyard.

[Eric Metaxas]

If they start ringing the call to prayer bells or whatever they are, charms or whatever, whatever they do several times a day, they're doing it in Dearborn, Michigan. They're doing it in Minneapolis. If they start doing in New York City, isn't that impinging on, on the.

[Guest Eric Metaxas]

Fabric of Americans, if you, if you ask me? Well, to me, it's a. It's offensive. It's offensive. You know, there's. We're, we're supposed to have. You know, it's kind of funny, isn't it? People always talk about separation of church and state. So you can impose Christian values, but what about Muslim values? At what point do you say, excuse me, you can do that in your house, you can do that in your mosque, but you can't do that in the middle of Times Square. You have to have the courage of your convictions. Do enough New Yorkers have a courage?

[Eric Metaxas]

If the mayor condones it, there's nowhere to go from there. You can't, you can't ask Trump to stop that. They would say it's a federal takeover of America's largest city. Final thought.

[Guest Eric Metaxas]

Well, listen, that's. I mean, that's the kind of thing that, honestly, I don't know where it goes. But as I was saying before, we have a free market, we have freedom. People can leave. People are going to leave. Tourism is going to go into the basement. People are not going to come to Times Square if they think I'm going to get mugged or stabbed or I'm going to deal with hordes of angry Muslims spitting on me because I'm a Jew. I mean, if that happens, you know, tourism is big business for New York. So this is the kind of thing where living in a free country, that works in our advantage. Ultimately. People are going to vote with their feet. They're going to leave, they're going to take their money. Whether they're tourists or whether they're billionaires creating businesses in New York. When those folks leave, the city goes down the tubes. And then we'll see what happens.

[Eric Metaxas]

Yeah, we'll see what happens. You know, the scary part is they. It could all happen. He could condone all this nonsense. The people with money, the people who are doing businesses, who. The people are taking risks to create business, may leave, and it could end up being a wasteland, much like London has become, much like some of the other major cities, Paris, even in Germany as well. So, Eric, you make so much sense. Every time we have you on, we love having you back. And if you could go ahead and use that. Eric Metexas if you want.

[Guest Eric Metaxas]

Eric Metaxas. But often people say, what part of Texas?

[Eric Metaxas]

I go, no, no, Metaxas. Well, you may want to with what's on tech.

[Guest Eric Metaxas]

I go there all the time.

[Eric Metaxas]

Good to see you again, my friend. Thank you. Thank you, Eric. All right, folks, we'll be back. Two and a half minutes.

[Podcast Sponsor/Announcer]

I am here for my final check.

[Interviewer/Host]

In, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I've been happy to share it with people. They're definitely curious because it shows. My weight change is about 36 pounds. I work at a ladies apparel store, and I have regular customers. I've been there for eight years, and they are all noticing. They said 1412, size 10, size 8, size 6. I went from a large to a medium to a small, and now I'm in an extra small.

[Podcast Sponsor/Announcer]

I'm also healthy and energetic and happy.

[Eric Metaxas]

Well, most people measure their success with the scale, but is that really the most important number when it comes to health? Let's bring in John Jubilee, the founder of Energize Health. He joins us to discuss. John, you say it's not about losing weight, it's about losing fat. Can you explain the difference and why that distinction is so critical to our health?

[John Jubilee]

Well, I will love to share it and to celebrate. That young lady, you know, she lost seven of these. She lost seven of these. But most people that lose weight are not losing this, which is the ugly visceral and subcutaneous fat. They're losing this, which is their healthy lean muscle. These both weigh the same, by the way. So you can see there's a big difference between losing your healthy muscle. And so everybody that's on your GLP1s. This is mostly what you're losing. You're losing your healthy lean muscle that is going to keep you strong, keep you powerful, keep you energetic.

[Donald Trump]

It.

[John Jubilee]

It looks great under your skin. It makes your skin look great and beautiful and smooth and healthy. That's the difference is you don't want to lose hydration, which, again, people on a GLP1, most of their weight loss is healthy hydration and lean muscle mass. But on the energized health protocol, no, we want you to be healthy at the cellular level. The side effect is you just so happen to lose visceral fat and subcutaneous fat, but you gain muscle and you gain hydration Eric. That's the big difference.

[Eric Metaxas]

So, John, it's very interesting because, you know, they say muscle weighs more than fat, and you're showing that right there because if it was the same size at muscle, it would weigh more. And a lot of people lose both fat and muscle when they're just on glp. So this would be a better alternative.

[John Jubilee]

Yes, well, way better. Because you never, ever, ever want to lose your lean muscle. So all the recent scientific studies say one thing, one thing guarantees longevity and high quality of life. When we're senior citizens, which I am, by the way, it is your strength. So the stronger we are, and the more lean muscle we have, the longer we're going to live a high quality of life. So unless you want to be laying down in a nursing home and having people do the bedpan and change your diapers and take care of you like that, you never, ever, ever want to lose the lean muscle. You only want to lose fat.

[Eric Metaxas]

All right, John, I got about a minute or so. Just tell us. So the, the. Can you repair a damaged metabolism? And how do you do that?

[John Jubilee]

You can totally do it. There's a triangulation between your thyroid, your pituitary, and your hypothalamus. And this is one of the things. For 28 years, we've been helping people with our patent pending science of intracellular hydration. We reset that back like when you were 17 years old. So even if you did a GLP1, God bless you. You know, you made a mistake, but you can still fix it. You can get that metabolism reset and gain back your healthy muscle, gain back your healthy hydration and keep the fat off.

[Eric Metaxas]

Awesome. Awesome. Really good to have you, John. Jubilee, always good. Energized health, folks. Thank you, John. Happy Senior Citizen Day. It's so hard. It's hard for us, I guess. Thank you. Appreciate you, my friend.

[John Jubilee]

Thank you, brother.

[Eric Metaxas]

All right. Okay. Our next guest is a political strategist and campaign advisor who fights against the evilness of the Democrats. She's a co host on the Her Take Podcast, one of the PBD podcasts. Podcast. Well, welcome back to Lindy Lee. Lindy, every time you're on, we always have a lot to cover. Let's start with the Schumer shutdown, which finally ended. You know, let's point out that Dick Turban, Illinois Senator Dick Durbin joined the the Republicans. First of all, Chuck Schumer's really getting it from his own side. Tell us, is Chuck Schumer pretty much dead man walking as far as politics? Go going forward.

[Eric Bolling]

Absolutely is. And Eric, it's so good to be with you. Chuck Schumer did the right thing in March by working with President Trump to the government open. But the liberals and the progressives came after him with pitchforks during his book tour. So he learned his lesson that he needed to fight hard against Trump because he's terrified of a primary challenge from AOC but you're absolutely right. He's a dead man walking. It's just a matter of time now. He knows that the writing is on the wall and they're going to come after him.

[Eric Metaxas]

Do me a favor. And the reason why I'm asking Lindy this, folks, is because Lindy was a Democrat. She was part of that party until she her got her senses, her wits about her and she realized, sorry it took so long. We are, too. We're glad you're here. The question is, where is that party? I mean, it's. It's fighting. Are we. Are these. I'm speaking for them. Are we socialists? Do we want to become Marxist? Are we, you know, moderate centrists that don't seem to be able to get anything done as well? They're in an identity crisis. What do you see? You were there from this side. What do you see?

[Eric Bolling]

Looking back in, I'm thinking that running against people like Zoran Mamdani, Marxist Mamdani, running against Jasmine Crockett, Ilhan Omar, what's her name, aoc, all these people, that is ideal for the Republican Party, they are the right enemies to have, okay? They are lurching to the left to see who can outsocialist the other. I was born in a communist regime, and I can tell you that it means nothing but chaos and pain and pandemonium and suffering for the people involved. It's just such a shame that they want to bring that system here. It is un American, it's anti American and anathema to everything that we believe in.

[Eric Metaxas]

So how, Lindy, how, in a city with so many Jews, so many gay and lesbian people, does a Muslim get elected when he basically says, if Bibi Netanyahu were to step foot in New York, we'd arrest them? And we know that in part of, you know, Islam, if you're gay, they throw you off buildings. Literally. They are, you're an infidel. You deserve to die. How does a man like that get elected in a city? And where are they headed?

[Eric Bolling]

Which is exactly what I'm saying. I want this guy to be the face of the Democratic Party because going into 2026, he is the ideal adversary. Running against somebody like him, running against somebody who says he wants to seize the means of production. That is terrifying. And where do you think he's going to get the money to pay for all the boondogs that he wants to have? All the billionaires are leaving. Who do you think is going to pay for that?

[Eric Metaxas]

I don't know. I don't know who's paying for it. And even worse, what's going to happen is when those folks leave, and they will. No one wants. You're already. When I was there. If you're, you know, certain income level are based on everything federal, state, local, you're paying somewhere 55, 57% of your income already. Before they try and figure out how they're going to pay for all this free stuff, which push it into the 60% level. Of course they're going to leave. They're going to come to Florida and Texas. But the problem isn't that they're leaving. The problem is everyone who sees free stuff is going to go there. So they'll have a vote. They'll have the bodies to vote. Right. And they'll continue this. It's a horrible, horrible circular firing squad that they're creating for the country, not just for the Democrat Party, the country. It's spreading. How do you stop it?

[Eric Bolling]

Yes, and you know why they're doing that, though? It's for the congressional district. The more illegals they have in a state, the more federal power they have and the more congressional seats. And according to some studies, California would lose two to three congressional seats if it weren't for illegals. And on a national level.

[Eric Metaxas]

Not anymore. Not anymore.

[Eric Bolling]

If it weren't for.

[Eric Metaxas]

Not anymore.

[Eric Bolling]

So they use illegals as padding.

[Eric Metaxas]

California is going to. California is going to redistrict. They're going to gerrymander into. Into losing no seats. They may even gain seats, which is insane, but go ahead. I'm sorry, I interrupted.

[Eric Bolling]

Oh, no, you're totally right, though. Everything. They know that their platform doesn't appeal to the American people, so they have to force it down our throats another way. So they beckon all the legal aliens. Come over here, we'll give you free health care, free education, free housing. We're spending $150 billion a year on illegals. Meanwhile, Americans don't have health care. Americans don't have enough to eat. How is this fair? Since when was putting Americans first bigoted? It should be the highest act of patriotism and love to put Americans first, not illegal aliens. But of American people. People have actually paid into this system. People who actually love our country, who are willing to assimilate, who are willing to speak English.

[Eric Metaxas]

You're speaking so much truth. I love to hear you on this side. By the way, Fetterman should be a Republican now.

[Eric Bolling]

By the way, I was saying this seven years ago. I said to aoc, I'd rather vote for Trump than Bernie Sanders. Sanders. Seven years ago, she tried to crucify me for saying this. So I've actually been pretty consistent. I thought I was just going to be the conservative voice on the Democratic Party, but they got too crazy. I can't even be there anymore.

[Eric Metaxas]

I love it. We love it. Lindy Lee, by the way, that podcast. Lindy's a co host is called her take as part of the PBD podcast groups. Great show. Great host. Lindy, we'll talk to you again soon. Thank you for your time, my friend.

[Eric Bolling]

You're awesome. Thank you, Eric.

[Eric Metaxas]

All right, we'll be back. Two and a half minutes. Well, well, well. After weeks of a government shutdown, 41 days to be exact, which the Democrats admitted, they upheld as long as possible for, quote, leverage over the Republicans. Don't take my word for it. Here it is right out of the donkey jackass party mouth. Watch. We need to do this while we have the leverage. Of course, there will be, you know.

[Interviewer/Host]

Families that are going to suffer, but it is one of the few leveraged.

[Eric Metaxas]

Times where we have you reopen the government and we lose our leverage. There has to be an agreement right now. That's what this whole shutdown is about. Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House.

[Guest Eric Metaxas]

Frankly, this is our only moment of leverage.

[Eric Metaxas]

The idea that you would give up all of your leverage and then hopefully get some sort of great deal coming down the pike is just a fool's errand. What?

[Donald Trump]

Why are working families the leverage the Democrats need to get Obamacare fixed?

[Eric Metaxas]

It's the only lever we have.

[Interviewer/Host]

Democrats have this one little sliver right now when we've got some leverage here.

[Eric Metaxas]

Some Republican senators have pushed a bill that would pay government workers. I think that just gives the president more leverage.

[Donald Trump]

Katherine was basically expressing in her own.

[John Jubilee]

Words the notion that our leverage right.

[Guest Eric Metaxas]

Now are our votes.

[Eric Metaxas]

Them wanting to solve the problem that we want to solve, but do it in a couple of days or a couple of weeks when we've given up our negotiating leverage. Without that leverage, the minority party, you know, would.

[Donald Trump]

Would be stuck in the mud and.

[Interviewer/Host]

Not basically have anything to negotiate.

[Eric Metaxas]

And, you know, how Bad it is, right? So they want the, remember that, oh, it's the Republicans who want the government closed and won't feed the poor people. Soon as eight Democrat senators jumped sides and sided with, with the Republicans to get the government process reopened, they, they got excoriated by House members, their own House members saying, what are you doing? You gave up the leverage. They never wanted it open. This is all a power game. This is why politics, politics, the swamp is so disgusting. They all lie through their teeth. Both sides, actually. The same thing will happen if, if, God forbid, there's a Democrat president, Senate and House and the government shuts down. Republicans will blame them. You'll see, they'll hold down, they'll blame it. It's just, it's gross. So after the Senate finally agreed on a deal to end the shutdown that's left travelers stranded in airports, sometimes 10, 12, 20 hours, sitting on tarmacs, among other things, Bernie Sanders is losing it because Americans might actually enjoy the holiday season. Listen to Bah humbug Bernie. To my mind, this was a very, very bad vote. Just on Tuesday we had an election all over this country. And what the election showed is that the American people want us to stand up to Trumpism, to his war against working class people, to his authoritarianism. That is what the American people wanted. But tonight that is not what happened. So we've got to go forward, do the best that we can to try to protect working class people, to make sure that the United States not only does not throw people off of health care, but ends the absurdity of being the only major country on earth that doesn't guarantee health care to all. They didn't want it open. They just wanted to use leverage against Trumpism. That's all they want. It's Trump derangement syndrome. This BS about they're worried about people with SNAP and EBT cards being empty. They're full of it. They are absolutely full of garbage because now it may open up and they lose their leverage. And guess what? It's exactly what they didn't want. They wanted people to suffer through the holidays. They're horrible, horrible people. Chuckie Schumer, another swampy Democrat who's overstayed his welcome, knows full well that the shutdown, this shutdown will be yet another stain on a career of flip flops, lies and backtracking. Here for your enjoyment is Chuck having to admit defeat.

[Guest Eric Metaxas]

For months and months, Democrats have been fighting to get the Senate to address the health care crisis.

[Donald Trump]

This bill does nothing to ensure that that crisis is Addressed.

[Guest Eric Metaxas]

I am voting no, and I will.

[Eric Metaxas]

Keep fighting, except it's going to pass. Chuck, here's the thing. AOC is traveling around the country with millionaires and billionaires. Bernie Sanders. Right. Against the oligarchs in her private. In their private jets. Here's the thing. She wants to run for president. We know that she wants to run for president. She couldn't last time. She wasn't old enough. You have to be 35. She's old enough now. Question is, I think she's going to take Chuck Schumer's seat as senator first, and then you run from the Senate. Easier to run for president from the Senate than it is from the House. That's. Believe that's. That's what this is all about. It was fun, though, to watch Democrats cry about ending the shutdown they created. But the meltdowns by the media they own, well, that was even better. First up, msnbc, where they agreed with me that Chuck Schumer should have been gone a long time ago, but for very different reasons. You think Chuck Schumer needs to go after tonight?

[Donald Trump]

He should have gone a week ago, a month ago, a year ago.

[Eric Metaxas]

Yes, yes.

[John Jubilee]

You talk about him and not meeting the moment. Right.

[Donald Trump]

Every time he gets in front of.

[John Jubilee]

A camera, the average Democratic voter out.

[Donald Trump]

There screams, be done with you.

[John Jubilee]

Be done.

[Donald Trump]

And this will only accelerate that.

[Eric Metaxas]

Oh, that guy's kind of the Lindy Lee of the other side. He was a Republican congressman. He flip sides because he realized being on TV was a lot more fun than being a congressman. So he pretends to hate Trump and jumps on the other side. But the folks over at the media arm of the Democrat Party really wanted this shutdown to continue, causing a massive pain for all Americans. Apparently wasn't enough that Joe Biden's economy made it so bad that Americans couldn't afford turkey for Thanksgiving. Clearly, the pundits, and I use that term loosely at msnbc, really love it when Americans suffer more. I have a lot more questions than answers. I don't know why Senate Democrats are going along with this so hard for a date promised in the future. And they're looks like they're settling for something that is six weeks down the line. Yeah, I don't get it.

[Interviewer/Host]

I would say it doesn't feel like a gentleman's agreement.

[Eric Metaxas]

It feels like Lucy in the football. Yeah.

[Eric Bolling]

It's like, oh, yeah, we promised this vote, right?

[John Jubilee]

Whoops. You know, for 40 days, you shut.

[Donald Trump]

The government down, and now you're going.

[Eric Metaxas]

To open the government up.

[John Jubilee]

And what did you get in return? Nothing.

[Eric Metaxas]

Right? Nothing. They like it. They. They can't believe it. They have nothing to talk about now. They have nothing to point the finger at Republicans or Trump or whoever. They have nothing to left to do. By the way. Mark my words. Remember I said the shutdown was going to end right before the win. These, these holiday recesses that Congress takes. They're going to get four of the next five weeks off. Kind of interesting how they got that thing together right before they get four out of the next five weeks off. Right? You think it's not weird that they got about five or six weeks off and now all of a sudden they want telling you. I see right through these folks. I see right too. Let's jump down a little bit. A couple down guys. Let's. Let's listen to Hochul, please. Hochul. Buses. I think we jumped down two sound bites. There we go. The subject of backtracking Democrats. New York's New York governor Kathy Hochul admitting that New York City Mayor elect Zoran Ramdani Central election promise of free buses. Not really going to happen. Welcome to the Democrat party. All promises but nothing's real.

[Interviewer/Host]

I cannot set forth a plan right now that takes money out of a system that relies on the fares of the buses and the subways. But can we find a path to make it more affordable for people who need help? Of course we can.

[Eric Bolling]

What about child care though?

[Interviewer/Host]

Child care I already committed to. So we'll be on a path to get there because I'm committed to this as mom Governor. I get it. But also to do it statewide. Right now it's about $15 billion. The entire amount of my resources.

[Eric Metaxas]

Just one more. I want to get this one in real quick. Speaking of mom. Donnie. Here you go. New York City. You asked for this. You're newly elected mayor at one of his first post victory events. This is what you voted for. Congrats.

[Donald Trump]

It is such a pleasure to be here alongside so many friends and so many for whom today is the first time I'm having the opportunity to meet you. And this is the first drama that I have been to since we won our election on Tuesday.

[Eric Metaxas]

Where have I heard that before? Allahu Akbar. Oh I know, I know. Right before stuff blows up. We'll be back two and a half minutes. So I gotta thank you. The edge is killing it. You guys are amazing. We're growing it 120 times faster than any all YouTube new new YouTube channels because of you. Appreciate that. We're also putting up some of the Most amazing guests. It's all about men being men. Masculinity, wellness. It's okay to be a dude again. I have a huge guest on Thursday. A huge guest on Thursday. Everybody taped it. It's amazing. Someone you all know. I want you to subscribe and guess who that guest is going to be. I need you just hit your phone. Just either take your camera, hit that QR code, little yellow line, press it. You're subscribed, never charge you. It bumps you up to the top. It's not about charging you or marketing anything to you. It won't happen. I just. As more people subscribe, it shows the channel YouTube that we're big. YouTube.com EricBalling the Edge YouTube.com Eric Bowling the Edge. Subscribe. Let me. I want you to know who you think that huge guest is on Thursday morning, 10 o'. Clock. It'll drop. It's not politics, so don't think political. It's not Trump. It's something outside of politics. Huge guess. All right, I want to thank you again for the, for your support. Mad Dog. We, you know, we were talking a little bit about gambling in the break there. We had a really bit of a rough weekend on some of our bets. It was a wild and wacky fell. Your Rams are doing great. I think they could have a shot, but I don't want to bet on them because I'll lose because it's been that kind of year. We got some voicemails. We do.

[Guest Eric Metaxas]

The first one is Minnesota needs help with leadership.

[Eric Metaxas]

Do it.

[Interviewer/Host]

Hi, Eric. Say I'm from Minnesota and I'm so upset over the Somalian invasion. We need to know what to do about this because there's so many people who are against this. We just don't know what to do. We need a leader to tell us, hurt them, get them out of here. They're invading us. We just need somebody to tell us what to do and how to go about it. President Trump could deport them, or if we can just start showing them the border ourselves. Or what. Okay, well, we're all sick of this. We just need a leader. Thanks.

[Eric Metaxas]

You nailed it, Sam. You really can't deport them if they're not here illegally. But if they're here illegally, Trump's gonna hopefully get rid of as many as we can. But you really gotta stand up. I keep hearkening back to 2020, the summer of love, when George Floyd died and the push was to support African Americans. That's fine, except you saw the crowds. It was all, you know, White Americans kneeling at the altar of George Floyd, if you really mean what you're saying, you gotta vote. You gotta get out and vote these people out that are allowing all this stuff to happen. Mammy just won in New York. We're seeing video of, of mosque, a makeshift mosque in Times Square. If you don't like it, then stand up and vote and tell people it's the American way. It's the only way you can do it. The Constitution protects the majority. Become the majority, become the voting majority, not just the vocal majority. You got to go out and vote. Every vote counts. I don't care what state, city, municipality you're in. Even if you're in the minority, your vote will count. You'll show that you're close. Maybe next time you get the vote, go out and vote. Great question, though. Next. Mad Dog, you got another one?

[Guest Eric Metaxas]

Yeah.

[Eric Metaxas]

This viewer is upset about price gouging.

[Interviewer/Host]

Hey, Eric Bolling. My name is Colleen Chida from Central Florida. And what I want everyone to know is that what we're having is price gouging. It is not that our government isn't bringing the prices down. They are bringing the prices down. And it is all of the big boys, the big grocery stores, the big gas companies, the oil changing companies, just start checking it out. The prices have been coming down for the last two years, but not for the everyday people, only for the big boys. And they are price gouging us everywhere in the United States. Start spreading it around. Thanks for your help. Bye.

By Colette. You're 100 million percent right. You are so right, you don't even know how right you are. You're right. The, the inflation is coming down. Prices have been coming down, producer prices, what costs them to produce the things that they sell us. But the retail price isn't coming down and they're getting a fatter and fatter margin. 100% right. We look at the oil price, for example, at $60 a barrel of oil, that translates to about a $2 $82.90 gallon of gas. So if you go to the corner and you see 315, 330, 340, they are likely price. I'm not sure technically price gouging, but they're making a fat profit. Two things you can do. Number one, talk to the people, talk to the people who are running the retail operations. Talk to the gas station owner, talk to the employee, tell them to tell the owner, you know, it should be lower. Go into the Publix or whatever, Albertson, whatever your supermarket chain, and say hey, where are all these lower prices? I'm seeing prices for everything come down. Why aren't you translating that to us? They're making more and more profits, but you have to speak up. And the other way you can do that is call your congressperson. There's someone who represent you in this district in this country right now. Pick up the phone and say, hey, I saw this price at here. This is ridiculous. I've seen these things. If they're a good representative of you, they'll talk to the people in these change. That's what they're there for. But you got to talk to your congresspeople and you got to talk to the retail owners and say, hey, I know what you're doing here. You're making too much money off the back of our hard working people like us. Mado, you have a short one we can squeeze in? Yep. Quick. Yeah, my name is Bob and I watch you all the time. Thank you for your, your show. I want to say real quick, didn't.

We used to arrest communist in this.

[Donald Trump]

Country back in the 60s and earlier.

[Interviewer/Host]

Than that, what happened?

[Eric Metaxas]

Why can we not do that now?

[Interviewer/Host]

Thanks.

[Eric Metaxas]

Yeah, it's a good, good question. Well, I don't think you can do it now because after the Joe McCarthy era, everyone said, well, you better not go too far. He went a little bit too far. But you're right, there was a period where communism wasn't, wasn't welcome here in the United States. The world is changing fast. But I will tell you, you can vote these people out. You need to just step up. People who are socialists, you don't want that here. You're going to ruin this great, great country that took 250 years to get here. Hopefully he'll be here another 250 years. But we do run the risk. When you see makeshift mosques, people praying in Times Square, it scares the living daylights out of this host right here. Have a great evening. We will see you again tomorrow. War Room is coming up next. Always keep it on Rav. You know, just start in the morning, keep it on rev all day.
