Adrian M. Mamdani (1:44)

I appreciate all efforts towards peace. And I shared with President Trump that when I spoke to Trump voters on Hillside Avenue, including one of whom was a pharmacist that spoke about how President Trump's father actually went to that pharmacy not too far from Jamaica states that people were tired of seeing our tax dollars fund endless wars. And I also believe that we have to follow through on the international human rights. And I know that still today those are being violated. And that continues to be work that has to be done no matter where we're speaking of Mr. President.

Joe Degener (2:11)

Thank you.

Interviewer/Reporter (2:12)

Mr. President, do you view the mayor elect as the True leader of the Democrat Party.

Donald Trump (2:16)

And do you think Leader Schumers and.

Adrian M. Mamdani (2:17)

Leader Jeffries, you know, have to follow?

Donald Trump (2:20)

Well, look, I hope they have great leaders. This is a man that right now, I think, is focused on New York City. I really think he has a chance to do a great job. We're going to help him, but I really think he has a chance to do a great job. But I'll let you answer that. Do you consider yourself the leader of the Democrats? I think it's more appropriate for him.

Adrian M. Mamdani (2:37)

I consider myself the next mayor of New York City, and I keep my horizons firmly on New York City. And I appreciate the meeting with the president, which focused, again, on the five boroughs and whether New Yorkers could afford to live there.

Donald Trump (2:49)

By the way, being the mayor of New York City is a big deal. I always said, you know, one of the things I would love to be someday is the mayor of New York City being the mayor of New York. And especially now, because I think you're at really a turning point one way or the other. It could go great, or it can go in a different direction. And I think you really have a chance to make it great. Mr. President, you said you love New York City.

Interviewer/Reporter (3:15)

Mr. Mamdani, does New York City love President Trump?

Adrian M. Mamdani (3:18)

New York City loves a future that is affordable. And I can tell you that there were more New Yorkers who voted for President Trump in the most recent presidential election because of that focus on cost of living. And I'm looking forward to working together to deliver on that affordability agenda.

Donald Trump (3:30)

I got a lot of votes. One more. Go ahead. One or two more.

Eric (3:33)

Go ahead.

Adrian M. Mamdani (3:33)

One more.

Donald Trump (3:35)

I'll tell you, the press has eaten this thing up. You know, I've had a lot of meetings with the heads of major countries. Nobody cared. This meeting that you people have gone, you know, outside, you have hundreds of people waiting. This is just a small little group. For some reason, the press has found this to be a very interesting meeting. The biggest people in the world, they come over from countries. Nobody cares. But they did care about this meeting, and it was a great meeting.

Adrian M. Mamdani (4:02)

Go ahead.

Interviewer/Reporter (4:02)

Yeah, Mr. President, I was going to ask exactly that.

Donald Trump (4:04)

Why do you think there's so much.

Interviewer/Reporter (4:05)

More, you know, so much excitement around this?

Donald Trump (4:08)

Because I think he's different.

Joe Degener (4:11)

All right?

Donald Trump (4:11)

I think he's different, and that can be in a very positive way, but I think he's different than, you know, your typical guy, runs, wins, becomes mayor, maybe, and nothing exciting, because he has a chance to really do something great for New York. New York is at a very critical point, and he does need the help of the federal government to really succeed. And we're going to be helping him. But he's different than, you know, your average candidate. Hey, he came out of nowhere. I said, he has a great campaign manager standing over there. He came out of. He came out of nowhere. Wouldn't you start off at one or two? And then I watched. I said, who is this guy? He was at 1, then he was at 3, then he was at 5, then he was at 9, then he went up to 17. I said, that's going to be a little bit interesting, right? And then all of a sudden he wins a primary that nobody expected he was going to win. It's a great. A great tribute. It's an amazing thing that he did.

Adrian M. Mamdani (5:07)

And I'll just add. I'm sorry, I'll just add one thing to what the President said is one thing I also appreciated is in our meeting to appreciate a portrait of FDR and the incredible work that was done with the New Deal. And also in thinking about what it can look like when the federal government and New York City government work together to deliver on affordability, can be transformative.

Donald Trump (5:30)

You know, we have a great portrait of FDR that I found in the vaults that was missing for years. I found it and I put it up. He's a Democrat. To the best of my knowledge, he's a Democrat. And when the mayor saw that portrait, he said, sir, do you mind if I have a picture taken by that point? It's an amazing portrait. I hope the picture comes out good. But it's an amazing portrait in the Cabinet Room. So he's a big fan of the New Deal, I guess, and of FTR. Yes.

Joe Degener (5:56)

Thank you, Mr. President.

Eric Bolling (5:57)

You said that you both spoke about crime. There are many police officers set to come off the rolls at the end.

Interviewer/Reporter (6:03)

Of this year in New York City.

Eric Bolling (6:05)

Are you going to allow those police to be replaced with police officers, actual cops, and are you going to require that that happens?

Interviewer/Reporter (6:14)

Would there be some consequence if.

Donald Trump (6:15)

Well, I hope it happens, but again, that's going to be ultimately the mayor's decision.

Eric Bolling (6:20)

What's your answer?

Adrian M. Mamdani (6:21)

Is that I look forward to delivering public safety with the nypd. And I've said over the course of our campaign that we have the number of police officers today. They are the ones that budgeted about 35,000 headcount. And I think the key thing is that we have to make it easier for police to focus on police work, not ask them to respond to 200,000 mental health calls a year.

Eric Bolling (6:39)

So is that a reduction from what.

Interviewer/Reporter (6:41)

You'Re at right now?

Eric Bolling (6:42)

Are you committing to maintaining the same.

Adrian M. Mamdani (6:44)

Level of costs I've committed over the course of the campaign to maintain the 35,000? That's the headcount that we had through the campaign. No, I've said that's the headcount that we want. What we need to do is make sure they can focus on serious crime.

Donald Trump (6:57)

And he just retained a great police commissioner, I believe, right?

Adrian M. Mamdani (7:01)

Yes, we did.

Donald Trump (7:02)

Commissioner Tisha, if the newspapers are correct.

Adrian M. Mamdani (7:04)

That one, they're correct about.

Donald Trump (7:05)

He retained, I think, somebody that is a. She's a good friend of some of the people in my family, of Ivanka, and they say she's really good, really competent, and he just retained her. So that's a good sign.

Eric Bolling (7:18)

Are there small topics that you see.

Donald Trump (7:20)

As you're disagreeing on in the future.

Eric Bolling (7:21)

And do you think you'll have more meetings with this?

Donald Trump (7:23)

There will be topics that we disagree on. I think we'll probably come to a conclusion. And ultimately he'll convince me or I'll convince him. You know, it's for the good of New York. Ultimately, it's for the good of New York. I don't care about affiliations or parties or anything else. I want to see if this city could be unbelievable. If he could be a spectacular success, I'd be very happy.

Eric Bolling (7:45)

Do you think you guys will meet.

Interviewer/Reporter (7:46)

More in the future, too? Do you think you'll meet again in the future?

Donald Trump (7:50)

I think we will. I think we will. I hope we do. I enjoy the meeting. We had a Great meeting.

Interviewer/Reporter (7:55)

Please, Mr. President. Republican Elise Stefanik has campaigned multiple times by calling Zorah Mamdani a jihadist. Do you think you're standing next to a jihadist right now in the Oval Office?

Donald Trump (8:03)

No, I don't. But she's out there campaigning, and, you know, you say things sometimes in a campaign. She's a very capable person, but you really have to ask her about that. But I don't particularly. I think I met with a very. I met with a man who's a very rational person. I met with a man who wants to see. Really wants to see New York be great again. And I can say again, because New York was great. You know, when I came down to Washington initially, the city was so hot. It was doing great. We were having some telltale signs of problems. We had a mayor that was not doing a great job, but still it was moving along, and it went bad. It really went, you know, pretty bad. And he can. I think it's been at lower points, but it went pretty bad. I think he can bring it back now. The question is, will he bring it back all the way? Will he bring it back greater than ever before? Which is, I guarantee that's his wish. I think he wants to make it greater than ever before. And if he can, we'll be out there cheering. I'll be cheering for him. Okay, thank you very much, everybody. Thank you very much.

Adrian M. Mamdani (9:18)

I care very deeply about Jewish safety and I look forward to rooting out anti Semitism across the five boroughs and protecting Jewish New Yorkers and every New Yorker who calls the City Hall.

Eric (9:32)

Well, that was interesting. I'm not sure when I watched there, I could have sworn I was going to see the socialist communist future dictator of New York come to the White House and get leg swept by the President of the United States. Who we don't want any more communists running our major cities. I saw a very friendly moment. I don't know what to say. I don't know what to say. So, so I don't get myself in trouble, I'm not going to say anything more. I'm going to let this breathe. I'm going to think about this a little bit. And we'll come back to you. We'll talk about this maybe later in the show, maybe Monday. In the meantime, okay, shake it off. All right. It's the one time of the year that Birch Gold, the Birch Gold group, they give away free gold. Folks give away free gold with every qualifying purchase.

Incredible, the numbers on gold. I don't know why. We're not all in gold. I certainly am. But why is this happening? Global uncertainty is one reason 2025 has been defined by trade wars.

Eric (14:36)

All right, let's bring our first guest and he's the founding partner of the Geneva de Genova Sorry and Town Sing llp. He's had a long career on Capitol Hill. I'm happy to bring back attorney Joe degener with us. Joe, let's talk about what the heck I just help me out, my friend. I was expecting something completely different, let's say the very, very least. What were your thoughts on that meeting?

Joe Degener (15:00)

Well, it was very interesting. I thought the format, format was fascinating. It's obvious that the meeting that was in private went very, very well. Otherwise the president would have denied him the opportunity to be seen in public with the President. So what I found fascinating was the picture. Trump is seated and the supplicant is standing. Just like in Saudi Arabia, the king sits, the supplicant stands. And then Mandami comported himself very well. He gave, I thought, very smart answers, very cagey. He didn't concede much, but he also did not pick a fight. I think he knew that after meeting Trump in person, that the president is formidable, that the president has his fate in his hands because the president can control a phenomenal amount of money. So all in all, I think it was probably a very good meeting for Mandami. I think the President looked good. It was probably good for the country just to tone things down a little bit so people, you know, don't think about assassinating people every time they hear a public comment.

Eric (16:00)

Well, okay, Joe, I lived in New York for 30 something years. I was there when literally watched the second tower get plane fly into the second, watching myself lost 16 colleagues that I work with, the New York Mercantile Exchange pass away in that thing. I've also watched the makeshift Times Square mosque. I was also down there in the Times Square mosque when the, when, when they were trying to get that thing as a trophy to the 3,000 New Yorkers that perished that day in those events. I'm not ready for that. I'M not ready to extend that olive branch to a guy who. Who has already said he's made just allusions to being more Islamic than I would say for my taste. Certainly in the most important financial city, certainly in this country, maybe the world.

Joe Degener (16:53)

Well, I think New York is more Islamic now. I think what's happened as a result of immigration, there's a different type of immigrant coming to New York. You know, my grandparents came from southern Italy. On both sides of the family, they were different people. They came here to work. And more important than anything else, they came here to assimilate. They didn't come here to impose a religion on the country or their culture. They wanted to be Americans. They wanted to learn English. My grandmother used to watch Meet the Press every Sunday so she could learn how to speak English. It was fascinating to me, the problem with the new immigrants, particularly the Muslim immigrants. And just look at Minneapolis. They don't want to assimilate. They want to impose their own country of origins, policies, cultures, and will on this country. That's the part where I think there's great danger, and that's where Mandami can be very dangerous.

Eric (17:42)

Well, so there. Minneapolis didn't happen overnight. Right? It starts, oh, yeah, and Eli Omar becomes the congresswoman. And all of a sudden they're. They're called to prayer five times a day with the bells ring in Dearborn, Michigan, cops now have to wear a patch to hat tip. The Muslim people living in Dearborns have highly. Dear, highly Muslim community there. Okay, you're telling me there's more and more Muslims moving to New York? It sounds like it might be the next Minneapolis, and. I don't know, Joe. I'm just. I'm sorry. I'm. I'm just. I'm still reeling from this whole thing. I expected something different. You know, Trump's a tough guy. Trump's a badass tough guy. Right. He didn't take. He didn't back down from anyone. This mom donned me. The night, the minute he was elected, he said, I got a message from President Trump. Turn the volume up. Really? Because he was taking shots. That's how he was elected, by trashing Donald Trump. I don't know. I know the side of Donald Trump right now. I'm just. I'm still figuring it out, but go ahead. I apologize. My concern. Is New York becoming the next Dearborn or. Or the next.

Joe Degener (18:51)

I understand your confusion about that. Here's the thing about Trump. He has grown as a politician. He understands what happened during the campaign. He knows that A lot of that stuff. I'm sure Manami believes every word of what he said. The question is, what is he going to be able to carry out politically? And the answer is, he's not going to be able to carry out some of the things he wants. He's going to have to deal with anti Semitism, whether he likes it or not. The country is a tinderbox right now because of all the unbelievable language that the Democratic Party has thrown into our culture, the violent language, the incredible calls to violence that they pretend not to be making, the disgraceful treatment of the President of the United States, the coup d' etat by the Deep State in 2017 and 2020, Arctic frost, all of that. This all plays into what Mandami is doing and what Trump is doing. Trump is planning for the future. And by the way, for people who think that he cares about who his successor is going to be, I got news for you. Trump doesn't care about that. Trump cares about the country and about his own legacy. That's what he cares.

Eric (19:57)

By the way, Mom, Daniel can call him fascist. He can. Mommy can tell him you put troops in New York. You know, you're going to. You're going to find out. He can say all these things. Yet someone who was really on his side for a long time, Marjorie Taylor Greene, just asked to release the Epstein files, and he's. He's going to war with her. I'm not seeing the consistency of this, you know, this politician who's grown up yet. Joe, I'm sorry. I'm just. I'm being honest here. I have to be honest. This is what I do. And I'm sure I'm getting lit up by the people who love every single thing that Trump does and who agree with you, saying, oh, he's sending mom to me up. Well, he's also sending a signal, I believe, to the Muslim community that they got something going there and they may want to exacerbate, make it bigger.

Joe Degener (20:44)

Well, I don't know about that. I think the problem. Here's the problem we have in this country, and especially with the Muslim community. We do not assimilate ethnic groups anymore. And you saw this. I saw this way, way back many years when the Somalis were invited to come to Minneapolis, and everybody thought it was wonderful. Here are all these refugees. It was great. And then what happened? That community decided that it did not want to become part of America, and it isn't part of America. That's a very tragic thing. It's the exact opposite of everything this country was meant to be the melting pot. And so I share your concern. Believe me. Trump is not, you know, he didn't drop bombs on Iran because he loves, you know, radical Islam. So I don't have a problem with Trump trying to creatively have a relationship.

Eric (21:34)

Do you think this guy is a representative of radical Islam?

Joe Degener (21:38)

Do I think that? Oh, I believe deep down in his soul he is.

Eric (21:42)

I do, too. I do, too. So drop bombs on Syria, drop bombs where people are pissing you off, or state sponsors of terror, Iran, etc. Drop bombs on Hezbollah or what? And then let this guy walk in here and say nasty things, take over the biggest city in this country and welcome him in the Oval Office. Well, well, you know, I know people are lighting me up because I'm not bowing at the altar right now of everything that he does, because I just disagree with this one, so.

Joe Degener (22:14)

Well, you don't have to. You don't have to bow at this altar. You know, here's the thing. The people of New York elected Mandami, not Donald Trump. Donald Trump doesn't even vote in New York anymore. He votes in D.C. i mean, in Florida. So here's the thing. I share your concern. I would be very cautious about this guy. Mandami is going to have certain natural limits placed on him by the nature of the law. However, New York is nuts. The City Council is nuts. The General assembly in Albany is nuts. The governor is nuts. He's got some very good friends who helped him get elected. And the people of New York and the state of New York decided that that was okay. I don't think the problem's in the White House with Donald Trump. I think the problem's in Gracie Manchin.

Eric (22:59)

Listen to Bridget Gabriel. We had it on yesterday. And she's extremely concerned, as I am, about what's going on. And I'm sure she's a little bit more concerned today as I am as well.

Eric Bolling (23:08)

Listen, when you look at the track record of the Muslims are elected to office in the United States, we are seeing very clearly the loyalty leaning more towards another government and another entity. When you look at the students marching and demonstrating in the United States, including Mamdani, by the way, in demonstrations after October 7, where they were burning the American flag and waving the flags of different countries, Arabic countries, in the Middle east, different terrorist organizations, you start to think to yourself, where is their loyalty? Are they loyal to us or to somewhere else? So when I see that 76 Muslims ran for office, backed unfunded by CAIR, the Council on American Islamic Relations, who's an unindicted co conspirator in the largest terrorism financing trial in America's history. And 42 of them make it to office. I question their loyalty and I question the decisions that they're gonna be making regarding America, their cities and its interests.

Eric (24:11)

I'll give you the last 20 seconds or so before we got to go.

Joe Degener (24:14)

I. I share her concerns. I agree with everything she just said. That means we have to be vigilant and smart, not nasty. But we have to be very smart. And we got to lower the hammer when it's necessary.

Eric (24:24)

All right, we're going to leave it there, my friend. Good. Good talking to you, Joe. You're very. You're very optimistic, and you set a little bit of a balance here. I appreciate your time. Joe Degener. Thank you so much for your time.

Joe Degener (24:35)

Any. Anytime, Eric. Anytime.

Eric (24:37)

Okay. We'll bring you back again. Let's see if we'll give it about a couple of months and see how it's working out in New York and see if we have the same feelings, both of us. We'll both. We'll. We'll both bring it back. Thank you, Joe. Appreciate your time.

Joe Degener (24:48)

You bet.

Eric (24:48)

All right, folks, we'll be back. Two and a half minutes. You know, freedom has never been free. We all know that. And lately, we've been reminded of just how high the cost can be.

Just when you thought that the state of California couldn't possibly have a worse or slimier governor than Gavin Newsom, Chinese spy lover Eric Swalwell throws his hat into the ring for governor of Cali. Of course.

Interviewer/Reporter (26:36)

What do we do?

Joe Degener (26:36)

What are we.

Donald Trump (26:37)

What are we going to do?

Joe Degener (26:38)

How do you stop this?

Interviewer/Reporter (26:39)

Well, I'll tell you what I'm going to do.

Eric (26:41)

I love California.

Interviewer/Reporter (26:43)

It's the greatest country in the world country. Greatest country in the world. But that's why it pisses me off to see Californians running through the fields where they work from ICE agents or troops in our streets. It's horrifying.

Eric (26:56)

It's horrifying. It's absolutely cancer research.

Interviewer/Reporter (27:00)

But I'm ready to bring this fight home. So I came here tonight, Jimmy, to tell you and your audience that I'm.

Eric (27:05)

Running to be the next governor of California. Governor? He's a failed congressman now. He wants to be governor. I mean, and he's going to run against. Oh, my goodness gracious. This, this. You know, he's right. It should be a separate country, Cal. Just make California another country. You can be president of California, Swalwell. Just make sure it's not anymore part of the United States any longer. That would work. All of us poor New Yorkers, by the way. Actually, I don't really feel bad for them at all. You get what you vote for and what you voted for in New York City. As a mayor who made all kinds of promises he certainly could not keep and will not be able to keep, like making buses free. He said it again just in the Oval Office. He wants him to be fast and free. But what Zorra and Mamdani's plan to make that happen, how's he going to do it? Turns out it's not really a real plan after all.

Interviewer/Reporter (27:55)

And the other one, talking about fast and free buses, and you're meeting with the governor, I've heard you talk about many times that you don't want to take money away from the mta.

Joe Degener (28:02)

You want to put money back in.

Interviewer/Reporter (28:03)

It's something that she agrees with.

Joe Degener (28:04)

Right?

Interviewer/Reporter (28:05)

We don't want to take away money from the MTA. How are you getting that money, the 700 million to make the buses free, into the MTA if she's not for raising taxes?

Adrian M. Mamdani (28:13)

You know, I think that the two clearest ways to raise that money is through the raising of the state's corporate tax to match New Jersey. I think that a lot of this is still a case to be made, whether it's the corporate tax, or that's the personal income tax on those who make more than $1 million a year or more. I think that these are the clearest ways. I've also said that if there are other ways to raise this funding, the most important fact is that we fund it. Not the question of how we do it, but that.

Eric (28:35)

Did you hear what they did? Exactly what they do. That's what communists do. Socialists becomes communists. Here's how they do it. They promise you free stuff. Everyone gets a free bus, everyone gets a free house, everyone gets a free loaf of bread. You offer the free stuff, you get elected and you go, how are you going to pay for it? We're going to raise taxes on the people who make stuff. You're going to take from the makers and give to the takers. That's exactly communism. What happens. It's a free country there. It's not North Korea where you can't leave. It's a free country. The people who make money in New York, the people who create the wealth who are now going to add more taxes. Already most taxed municipality in the world. You pay like 60% of your tax. If you make over a million dollars, those people are going to leave. They're going to leave. And what are you going to do then? Then they're going to be even further debt begging for a federal handout. And he just made nice with President Trump in the Oval. Got my mind blown today, folks, to be honest with you. Jasmine Crockett's Epstein gaff. Remember that? So embarrassing. So bad. You know the one where she implicated or decided that she thought, I don't know, the wrong. Jeffrey Epstein was a donor to Lee Zeldin's his floor campaign. It was so bad that even the view can't help but turn on Jazzy Jasmine for that.

Eric Bolling (29:50)

So it's not true that they took money from Jeff. Jeffrey Epstein. So is this a different Jeffrey Epstein? Okay. Yeah, it's a different. It's so confusing and annoying. This is why people get so frustrated with politicians. Yeah. Something horrible was done. We all agree on that. Epstein engage in horrific crimes, but people care more about. Well, my team didn't do it. Your team did. When she said my team looked into this quickly. When you're going to throw out an accusation that big, which we all know this case is that big.

Adrian M. Mamdani (30:16)

Yeah.

Eric Bolling (30:16)

Just own it, say it was a mistake and move on. Because to then try to say, well, they lie and we don't lie again, it's the. The distrust in Congress and our politicians the bottom line is, and you've said this, it's not Sarah, it's not. Not a partisan issue. This is not right. But I'm speaking purely. Don't sling an accusation out on the congressional floor and not dial it back quickly, abruptly, say I got it wrong and move on. Because it isn't political.

Eric (30:40)

Even sunny hosts who tried to cover for Jazzy Jasmine Crockett was smart enough to shut the hell up when she realized she was already beat. Just because she was embarrassed and she embarrassed herself so badly with that Epstein gaffe doesn't mean that Jasmine Crockett isn't more than happy to step out as often as possible and do it some more. Here she is up to her usual race baiting, making things up that aren't actually happening in order why? To divide the country and incite violence. This is what Democrats do. And she's really good.

Adrian M. Mamdani (31:07)

Good at it.

Eric Bolling (31:08)

Gonna do they not even gonna honestly, they about to outlaw the idea of white supremacy and white hate. Like, they are about to be like, oh, that's not a thing. Forget the fact that you're talking about getting rid of, like, the classification for nooses in a time in which we have seen these random black bodies be strung up down south also seemingly at a time in which you're back in office. Because what you do is you embolden the hate. You embolden everybody to take off their hoods. That is what he has done. He is the one that is producing this violence.

Eric (31:46)

Listen, hell are you talking about? Jasmine Crockett. Fact check right here. Just wanted to point out to Jasmine and to the Washington Post that first made the claim that the US Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas and and nooses as hate symbols is, according to the Coast Guard, categorically false.

Joe Degener (32:05)

Shocker.

Eric (32:06)

She's wrong yet again. All right, I'm not sure if you knew this, but I'm really glad that Hakeem Jeffries is here to clear up all of this, because apparently people can't afford homes. And it's not because of the inflation that Joe Biden, the Democrats, created for those years and amped it all up. No, it's not because of the left's war on American energy. They don't want to drill anywhere. Well, maybe not even the socialist spending like they're about to see in New York City. You just don't get it at all. Apparently, Hakeem Jeffrey says it's climate change fault.

Interviewer/Reporter (32:36)

Homeownership has become unaffordable in far too many places. Ripping away the possibility of home ownership for millions of Americans. And we know that homeownership has always been central to the great American dream. And so it's incredibly important that we deal with the climate crisis.

Eric (33:01)

The climate hasn't changed enough, Hakeem, to cause any sort of lack of ability of young people to buy homes. It's all inflation. Inflation, interest rates. Inflation went up. The Fed had to raise interest rates to tame the inflation. When interest rates go up, it costs more to buy a home. That's how it worked. Okay? It's not climate. It's not any warmer or colder or windier. It's all inflation. That's Biden nomics for you right there. All right? The party that centered its policies around the grooming of this country's children now thinks that somehow President Trump's policies are a danger to America's children. Trump. Sometimes I don't. Someone get Nancy Pelosi out here before she says more stupid things. Watch.

Eric Bolling (33:45)

Donald Trump is the worst president of the United States for America's children. The worst president American children have ever had in terms of their health, their education, the clean, safe environment in which they can thrive, including safety from gun violence. I would add the job, economic security of their families, and a future.

Eric (34:12)

Okay, she's on her way out. Can we stop? I'm calling audible here. Team bowling. Let's stop putting Nancy Pelosi on tv. What do you say? We'll be back. Two and a half minutes. All right, Time of the week, where we take a look at NFL games, college games, picks in our own RAB Washington, D.C. correspondent, sports extraordinaire, expert Ms. Britt McHenry joins us right now. Brit, my head's spinning. I have never. I've never had such a streak of cold betting as this last four or five weeks or so. What? I had Buffalo last night, and I. Not only did I take Buffalo and lay five and a half, which I had to, I actually went back and said, you know what? I'm going to bring the line down on another bet. And I double the bet. Giving two and a half or. Yeah, giving two and a half. And I lost both of those because they didn't even win the darn game.

Eric Bolling (35:15)

The Texans to sack Josh Allen eight times. I don't think any of us did, Eric.

Eric (35:19)

So the Texans, I mean, so Buffalo can either look like the best team in football or the literal worst. In last night, in the last two weeks, they've looked like, I think, the worst two of the last three weeks. The worst they had the Bad game.

Eric Bolling (35:31)

Commanders are there, so.

Eric (35:33)

Oh, yeah, yeah, that's right. That's right. We got the.

Eric Bolling (35:35)

They're not the worst worst. But I get what you're saying. All right, well, hopefully as a. Transitions.

Eric (35:38)

To the postseason in a second. Let's do. Yeah, it's an interesting game. USC, the college game. USC Trojans at Oregon Ducks, 15th ranked UFC 7. Oregon's been playing lights out and playing great. Not sure why they dropped to seven. They were one for a long time. Maybe there was a bad loss. I don't even really know. USC shows up to play though, sometimes. What are your thoughts on this one?

Eric Bolling (36:00)

I think it's going to be a high scoring game. If there's any bets you're taking on, you know, passing yards for either team, you should do that. Because they're both high octane offenses. Oregon really has been lights out. They had that Indiana loss, which was memorable to say the least. Actually, Eric, that was the same day that Northwestern, my alma mater, beat Penn State and James Franklin was fired. So I remember that day. But they've had four consecutive wins since. Just a really strong program. I like Oregon, but they're both vying for a spot in that top 12 for the playoff contention. Right. And they're both two strong programs, so.

Eric (36:33)

You got to give 10 and a half. You got to give 10. That was a lot of points to give to a 15, three team.

Eric Bolling (36:38)

Yeah, sure. I'm more into the NFL, so why not?

Eric (36:44)

All right, let's do it. We'll jump. We'll jump to the NFL. Let's do that. Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I think. I actually think Baker Mayfield is one of the better quarterbacks in the league right now at the L A. Rams. Rams are on fire. And my Mad dog. Mad Dog, you should jump on this, too. It's Mad Dog's favorite team, the Rams. He's been talking about the Rams for two years and it looks like they may have a Super bowl contender here in the Rams.

Eric Bolling (37:09)

Your thoughts on this one for me or Mad Dog? I think he should weigh in as well because they. I hate to say this because I'm not a Rams fan for multiple reasons. I can tell you off the show too, Eric. But they really invested in their front seven and Baker Mayfield has given a lot of credit to that defense. It's a very stingy defense, but it's when you got Matthew Stafford at his old age and he's a couple years younger than me, so I'm calling myself old here too, as an mvp, I mean, his campaign this season is absurd. I could see him easily throwing even against Tampa, which is a very solid and complete team for 350 yards. Like, I would take the Rams, I would take Matthew Stafford having a day. I know the Bucks are good. It's going to be a great game, but how do you, how do you bet against the Rams at this point in the season?

Eric (37:53)

You have to give six and a half. Now it is in, in la, so. Yes, that helps.

Eric Bolling (37:57)

Yeah. So build advantage.

Eric (37:58)

Yeah, I think I'm gonna do this. I'm thinking I'm gonna bet. I'm gonna bet the Rams in the over based on Brett McHenry's thoughts here, because I can't, I can't do any worse based on my thoughts.

Eric Bolling (38:07)

So, Mad Dog, I'm not even crazy for.

Eric (38:10)

What's your thoughts on this one, Mad Dog?

Interviewer/Reporter (38:12)

Defense is impeccable.

Joe Degener (38:13)

Matt Stafford is not that old.

Eric (38:15)

That's what he is. He's old for that.

Eric Bolling (38:17)

Makes me feel younger, too.

Eric (38:18)

He's old. He's old. I mean, he's not old for life, but he's old for quarterbacking in the NFL. But I, I. So, yeah, what about your guy? What's that Pookie guy? Is he all right? Mad Dog?

Joe Degener (38:29)

He's doing all right.

Eric (38:30)

He's not hurt though, anymore, right?

Joe Degener (38:32)

He is not hurt.

Eric (38:32)

Okay. All right, so I'll do that. I'm gonna, I'm gonna bet with, with. Bet with Brit. How's that Bet with Brit? Kansas City Chiefs, who are also, the whole NFL, seems like they're hot and cold playing. I think Indianapolis is, is a legitimate super bowl contender here. I think Indy's the, probably the, the best team in the afc. But your thoughts on this one?

Eric Bolling (38:53)

Now, this is tough for me, Eric, because I have learned the hard way on multiple Super Bowls, AFC championships that, like, you shouldn't bet against the Chiefs. And they are in a dire situation here. Patrick Mahomes has said that with five wins, this is a turning point for them. They could squeak things out. They could kind of turn the ship around a bit. But how do you do that when you're going up against a complete, healthy secondary that the Colts have now? I think a lot of eyes need to be on Danny Dimes. Are we still calling him that? Because Daniel Jones has been impressive this year. But I'll give you this stat, Eric, to factor in when you bet. He only had three interceptions in the first eight games. He's had four in the last two games. So is it a sign that, you know, some pressure is getting to him? From defenses in a different way. I'm not sure. But if there's any tickets team, I, I think the Colts are a better team. If there's a team that could steal this, I would say easily could be the Chiefs. So this is a tough one for me, but I'm really excited, you know.

Eric (39:47)

And good defensive coordinators watch what he did for the first eight games, as you point out. And they, they adjust. They study it. They adjust. But he, you know, I just, this team is just, it was, it's strong and Kansas City, really good. They're. They're all of the bar. Cleveland. Oh, the toilet bowl. We have, we have the one that.

Eric Bolling (40:03)

Oh, we have a couple toilet bowl games this weekend.

Eric (40:05)

I'm really excited. This is one of them. The Browns at the Raiders. I hear the toilet flushing. The Browns at the Raiders. The Las Vegas Raiders. Your thoughts?

Eric Bolling (40:16)

I, I want to pick the Browns. And you know what? I was accurate. I think when the jets played the Browns that the jets were going to win. Wouldn't it be cool for a little bit of the haterade out there if Shador Sanders, in his first start got a win and supposedly, allegedly, he went home to his childhood home before this game? There's a lot of feelings that this kid is taking into it, as he should because he dropped to the fifth round in the draft. We know that. I've spoken to coaches like Broncos head coach Sean Payton who said the kid just didn't have the stuff. He wasn't even in teams, you know, top three rounds. So wouldn't it be dissatisfying? So I know this is what you should not do, Eric, but I'm going to bet with my heart on this. And I never thought I'd say that about the Cleveland Browns. I kind of like that because look, they're both to win teams. This isn't some juggernaut against another juggernaut. I'm going to go with the Browns.

Eric (41:00)

Okay, I'm looking for your other toilet bowl. Is it going to be the Redskins or are they off this week? I'm looking for your.

Eric Bolling (41:06)

They're off this week. The next time they play will be against the Denver Broncos, and I'm going to that game. So you control me when we come back. I'm friends with Sean Payton, so if anything, I'll just watch the Broncos do their thing with bonus.

Eric (41:20)

That's fascinating. I mean, he did so. He's great. I mean, he's a great coach.

Eric Bolling (41:24)

Yes, he really is.

Eric (41:25)

He did so well in Orleans and then he, he tried to he wasn't very good as an announcer. He just. He was awkward on the right side of it. I didn't love that. And he jumped back into it, and he takes a team that was probably building, but he really made him a great, a very, very good team.

Eric Bolling (41:41)

He thrives as a head coach.

Eric (41:42)

Who thought Bo Nix would come out of the box this strong, this. This young and this strong?

Eric Bolling (41:47)

I didn't. But you know what? Sean Payton always believed in him and saw that in him. But what I find interesting about the Broncos, the Rams, maybe a little of the 49ers, you could drop a few other teams. The Colts. This league this year is predicated on top defenses. Like, we need Bill Parcells out there, because that's what's going on. So I think that team with bonus is great with their defense.

Eric (42:06)

The NFL has always wanted parity. They didn't want superstar teams and really bad teams. They wanted parity. They wanted really close games. And I think this year is. Is any team can beat anyone any week.

Joe Degener (42:16)

This.

Eric (42:17)

This year. It's been very odd that way. It's. It sucks for betters like me because all these things that you've learned and known and go with trends. There's no trends this year, so it's a fascinating year. Brett. Oh, you want to do Thanksgiving? No, Thanksgiving. Let's just jump to it real quick because we have some other things going on. Packers, Detroit Lions. It's every year, it's awesome. The first game, packers at Detroit. That's a big one.

Eric Bolling (42:41)

That is. Man. I remember the years when I was at espn. I'd cover the Detroit games on Thanksgiving because I was a newbie report. So you have to work the holidays, and it was just always an embarrassing show. That's. That's difficult because, you know, I like Jordan, Love, like, I like the core that the packers have. You know, I say this about the Lions for this weekend, for Thanksgiving, Dan Campbell, he goes for it on fourth down more than any other head coach in the league, more than Dan Quinn, because, you know, Dan Quinn would really rock on that fourth down as well last season. So I'm going to go. I don't know the exact point spread for Thanksgiving, but for sure, for this weekend, for next. I mean, the Lions just have it.

Eric (43:18)

Lions minus three.

Joe Degener (43:20)

Ooh.

Eric (43:22)

Yeah.

Eric Bolling (43:23)

I don't know. What. What are you taking on that.

Eric (43:25)

I'll take the Lions. Thanks. Yeah, I know.

Eric Bolling (43:28)

I'll come back. We'll talk about it next week, too.

Eric (43:30)

They amp it up. You got everyone watching. Yeah, they. They amp. I Like I like the favorites on Thanksgiving just because they, they.

Eric Bolling (43:35)

Another toilet bowl match for this weekend is the Atlanta Falcons and the New Orleans Saints. So I was trying to decide out of those two riddled with injuries, you know, Atlanta just lost their quarterback and their top receiver. That, that's a hard one. That's a toilet bowl dose, if you will. So I guess I'd take the Falcons over the Saints.

Eric (43:55)

You have, you have a great weekend and enjoy your bye week. No worry about, don't have to worry about.

Eric Bolling (44:00)

Yeah, I'm not going to be in pain this week. That's right, fortunately.

Eric (44:04)

All right, Britt McHenry, thank you so much.

Joe Degener (44:05)

Much.

Eric Bolling (44:06)

Thanks.

Eric (44:07)

Real America's Voice did it right, guys? They put together a great, great television station. Mad Dog, you got some voicemails, by the way. I texted Band. I'm like, let's talk about this Oval Office meeting. He's like his head was spinning a little bit too. And he's, we said we'll do it next week. So we'll, we'll pick it up later with, with Steve. I'm trying to figure out what that was about. Anyway. Let's do some voicemails. Mad though. What do you got?

Joe Degener (45:53)

Yes, sir. This first one is the military should deal with a seditious Congressman Barto, Florida here.

Interviewer/Reporter (46:00)

Hey Bowling.

Eric Bolling (46:00)

Why don't we get Pete headset to call these congressional members back to active.

Interviewer/Reporter (46:06)

Duty seeing they are all commissioned and.

Eric Bolling (46:11)

Then take their commission, pull their security.

Interviewer/Reporter (46:15)

Clearances and try them under the UCMJ for sedition.

Eric Bolling (46:19)

Hell with the courts.

Interviewer/Reporter (46:20)

Let's see what the military says about all this.

Donald Trump (46:23)

Have a good day.

Eric (46:24)

You know, that's a great idea. That's a great idea. I mean maybe even court martial to take away their, their, their, Their pay, their. Their pensions and what that. I love that idea by the way. It's. It's just dangerous what they did to tell people in the military disobey your commanding officers orders because you, you think it's not right what they're telling you to do. You can't do that. So that's how we, we win wars. We don't win wars with people deciding what they want to do and what they don't want to do. You get orders, you get marching orders. You do it, you run into a wall. If they tell you run into the wall. This idea of don't, don't carry out your. Your commanding officers orders. Wow, that is dangerous territory they're getting in. What else you got?

Joe Degener (47:07)

Mad Dog Vera wants some help with. Oh, sorry, I lost it with illegal.

Interviewer/Reporter (47:14)

Crime in the area.

Eric (47:15)

Got it.

Eric Bolling (47:16)

Hi Eric, this is Alana Holt from Lodi, Wisconsin. First off, I just want to say I absolutely watch your show all the time and I love you to that. Second. Well, I mean there's like a litany of list of things I would like you to bring attention to with your, Your broadcast ability, with the, with the power of you saying it. Maybe some action can be taken from the war posse. Steve Bannon, you know him, he gave us a call to action just the other day. To call Governor Abbott to stop release is stop allowing illegal aliens to register to vote, to get a license, to get a registration, to get a cdl. It's long story short, we recently lost a gentleman here in our town to a illegal alien doing a head on collision. And I just. I would. I don't know what else to do but try to bring it to the media's attention and use power that up. Please, please bring this to your attention on your program. I'm sure I'll start calling you every day. With each. Each day, I'll bring you a new issue that is like really significant to maybe try to help. Thank you so much. Thank you for having your show. And my husband and I both love you.

Eric (48:31)

Thank you. Thank you. I think she said Lana from Lodi, Wisconsin. While you're sending that message, I looked up Lodi is the. Isn't the Wisconsin 6th district, u. S. District. And the. Your representative there is Glenn Grothman, u. S. Representative, sir, serving Wisconsin's 6th. And I would highly, highly, highly recommend that you hit up his office and tell him exactly what you told me. In fact, take that voicemail and just repeat it exactly word for word to Glenn Grothman. Glenn Grothman areas who took office in January of 2015. He's been around since 2015, almost a decade. So he'll hear your complaints, tell your friends, call. That's. This really works. Just keep hitting your congressman's phone lines, leave messages. It works. Mad dog, next.

Joe Degener (49:20)

All right, this relates conservative Karen has a nickname for mamdani.

Eric Bolling (49:26)

Hi, Eric, this is conservative Karen in Colorado. And I have just a couple of things. First, the nickname for mam Dani is mad Manny. I think that fits him pretty well. And then the other thing is These Democrats, after 10 months of Trump and all the crap they're pulling, I have to say that I have DDS Democrat derangement syndrome. You have a good day, Eric. Thanks, bye.

Eric (49:49)

DDS democrat derangement syndrome. First time I heard. That's great. Love that, love that. But also mamdani, right? The word mom. Donnie, if you rearrange the letters, it says I madman. Did you know that? True story. Do it. Check it out. Mad dog. We got time for one more.

Joe Degener (50:06)

Yeah, one more. Quick.

Eric Bolling (50:08)

Hi, Eric. Love your show. Watch it every day. I'm getting frustrated over the fact that when people talk about term limits for senators and congressmen, they all say, well, we won't. They won't vote themselves out of. Out of term limits. So I think it's something that should be on the ballot for all of America to make a decision on. It's the people that should vote on that, not the congressmen and senators. Thanks a lot. Have a great day. Bye.

Eric (50:40)

This is really one of the most important things we could do. When the founders who were brilliant wrote the constitution, they didn't realize that there become a day where people would go to D.C. it's supposed to be service. You're supposed to serve your country by being a congressman, senator, etcetera President, vice president, whatever. All of these. You're serving your country. They didn't realize there'd be a day where people got so freaking greedy in DC that they use the office to grift and make millions of dollars. And that's what's going on. Term lips are 100% right. Not sure how we get it on the ballot. I ran out of time. I'd like to talk about that a lot more. Love your voicemails. Have a great, great weekend, everyone. Have a wonderful, safe weekend. We'll see you back here on Monday. War Room is up next. Tell Banning let's do one of these.

Eric Bolling (51:24)
