Key Discussion Points and Insights
1. State of the Markets, Inflation, and Cryptocurrency
[00:54] – [01:51]
- Bolling briefly details volatile market conditions, noting Bitcoin’s rapid decline despite a surging Dow—“There’s blood in the cryptocurrency streets right now” – Eric Bolling.
- Sets the tone for broader discussions of financial instability and government influence.
2. Exclusive Interview: Senator Ron Johnson on Obamacare and Healthcare Failures
[01:52] – [10:39]
-
Obamacare’s Impact:
- Johnson claims the ACA failed to deliver on its core promises—“Obama said you could keep your doctor, your plan... That was the Politifact 2013 lie of the year” (02:27).
- Premiums for benchmark “silver” plans increased 169% since inception—“4.3 times the rate of inflation” (03:02).
-
Exposing Subsidy Illusions:
- Taxpayer subsidies now cover ~90% of the cost for enrollees, hiding the true rise in premiums.
- Johnson warns of a “rude awakening” if subsidies lapse: “Taxpayers are picking up about 90% of the cost, with the insured picking up about 10% in total.” (03:27)
-
Fraud and Unaccountability:
- Enhanced subsidies created millions of “phantom” policies for people unaware of their insurance, leading to “about $20–30 billion a year in fraud.” (05:32)
-
On Healthcare Costs:
- Johnson and Bolling agree that transparency and reintroducing consumer costs (via Health Savings Accounts) would force competition and lower prices.
- “Insurance should be about catastrophic illnesses. It’d be a whole lot cheaper.” – Sen. Johnson (07:42)
- “Stock price of UnitedHealth up 1,177% since Obamacare… Hospitals and insurance companies make out like bandits, all thanks to the American taxpayer.” – Sen. Johnson (09:31)
-
Final Prescription:
- Johnson advocates letting Americans “buy their own health insurance, their own healthcare” rather than funneling billions to insurance companies (10:19).

-
On CAIR’s Role:

-
Voter Apathy versus Activism:

-
Proposed Solutions:
- Iconic Debt Relief offers to negotiate with creditors and enroll people in structured debt relief—in Picor’s words: “Debt is really one of the greatest sources of stress … If you’re feeling like you have nothing left at the end of the month… pick up the phone.” (37:15–38:03)
6. Nancy Pelosi’s Retirement and Critique of Democrat Leadership
[38:54] – [41:48]
- Pelosi’s Rationale for Leaving:
- “I thought Hillary Clinton was going to win in 2016 and the Affordable Care Act would be intact… We had to stay to make the fight. Now, we’re making the fight again.” (38:54)
