Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. U.S. Border Security: Policy Reversal & Enforcement (“Trump 2.0” Policies)

Guest: Chief Michael Banks, U.S. Border Patrol
Main Insights:

• Border crossings at “50+ year lows” due to renewed enforcement authority, not new laws or additional funding yet.
  • Quote: “We’ve been able to reduce our illegal border crossings to 50-plus year lows… We have not seen these level of lows since the 1970s.”
    —Chief Michael Banks (03:52)
• Dramatic uptick in morale and recruitment since agents are now “allowed to do the job they were hired to do.”
  • Border Patrol is “resuming building the wall”—using funds originally appropriated under the first Trump administration.
• Agents previously retiring at record rates are now withdrawing their retirements or seeking to stay longer.
  • Quote: “Our recruiting numbers [are] through the roof... Imagine that the government lets Border agents do their job… and more people want to be a part of that organization.”
    —Chief Michael Banks (05:32)
• Civilian shutdown impacts: Border agents continue working unpaid, but administrative civilian support gaps affect efficiency.

Tactical Updates:

• Resumption of “proven tactics” like barbed wire installations, fast-tracked wall construction, and use of advanced surveillance tech.
  • Quote: “We are laying down miles and miles of Constantino wire… resuming building the wall… It is not just putting up a wall and walking away from it. This is a smart wall.”
    —Chief Michael Banks (07:28)
• Expansion of interior enforcement: Border Patrol operates alongside ICE across the U.S., not just at physical borders.

Morale & Public Perception:

• Despite “spitting, cursing, yelling” from progressive activists, agents feel bolstered by presidential (Trump) and conservative support.
• Worries about rising violence against agents, driven by politicized, “kidnapping”-rhetoric from elected officials.
  • Quote: “The violence against Border Patrol agents, ICE officers, and immigration officials is up over 1,000%. And most… is coming from U.S. citizens based on the rhetoric from their elected officials.”
    —Chief Michael Banks (11:38)
• A strong anti-intimidation stance: Officers “will not be intimidated into not doing our job.”

Concern for Journalists & Agents:

• Proactive about protecting American journalists threatened by Mexican cartels (case of Oscar Ramirez).
• Agent “doxxing” and family threats remain a major issue—agents wear masks for safety, not anonymity.

Notable Segment:

• 03:52 – 14:32: Chief Michael Banks interview: border stats, morale, tactics, wall funding, internal border enforcement, dealing with shutdown and attacks.

---

2. Economy & Markets Brief

Host Insight:

• Market “bounce”: Dow up 224pts, NASDAQ & S&P strong, gold surging, oil down, and crypto rebounding after massive selloff.
  • Bitcoin “back above 100K” after recent dips.
• Ongoing motif: Unstable conditions trigger conservative calls for more traditional economic policies and border security.

No specific in-depth segment (just brief updates interspersed near [02:28]).

---

3. Debt Crisis & Relief

Guest: Gillian Barbary
Main Points:

• Personal narrative of financial distress during medical crisis; praises “donewithdebt.com” as a compassionate, effective alternative for Americans in debt.

  • Quote: “With debt comes emotional stress, right? For me, when cancer struck, I had nothing to go back on and I was in severe debt… but they got me on the path to financial stress-free freedom.”
    —Gillian Barbary (20:48, 22:30)

• Encouragement for listeners: “Don’t pay another bill. Go to donewithdebt.com before you do anything else…”
  —Gillian Barbary (23:29)

• Emphasizes shame, emotional toll, and the value of advocates who can negotiate for consumers.

Segment: [20:48 – 24:08]

---

4. Rail Merger & Energy Infrastructure Monopoly

Guest: Daniel Turner (Power the Future)
Main Points:

• Concerns over $85 billion Union Pacific/Norfolk Southern merger: would reduce national freight rail companies to three, threatening competition and raising costs.
  • Quote: “When you have fewer companies … they get to dictate the price. … This isn’t going to benefit the American people.”
    —Daniel Turner (26:04)
• Direct energy infrastructure impact: Rail is crucial for transporting coal, natural gas, crude oil (especially as new pipelines are blocked).
• Safety record concerns: Larger conglomerates typically less responsive.
  • Quote: “The larger the corporation, the worse the track record is on reliability, on affordability and also on safety.”
    —Daniel Turner (30:11)
• Call for public pushback: directs listeners to “power the future dot com” and their op-ed and petition.

Segment: [24:08 – 31:23]

---

5. Political Reactions: Election Results & ideological commentary

Host Monologue:

• Critique of progressive victories in blue states (esp. Zoran Mamdani in NYC) as signals of a leftward lurch (“socialist party taking over the Democrat party”).
  • Quote: “The Socialist Party is taking over the Democrat Party. And you know what? … They catered to the radical left. And now they've been eaten alive.”
    —Eric Bolling (45:44)
• Dismisses the idea that recent blue-state wins “mean anything” nationally, emphasizes that “New York, New Jersey, Virginia, California… Blue, blue, blue and bluer.”
  • (See segment [32:44 – 38:53])
• Host expresses confidence that socialism's appeal will backfire: “The further left they go, the more wins we'll have in the midterms and 2028.” —Eric Bolling (38:47)
• Cites commentary from Van Jones and other media figures skeptical of the tone and agenda of progressive leaders.
  • Asserts: “New York is done… they got what they voted for and they'll find out the consequences of their choice soon enough.”
    —Eric Bolling (36:03)
• References to “makers vs. takers” paradigm: predicts population shifts and economic consequences as productive citizens leave high-tax, welfare-heavy states.

---

6. Listeners’ Calls and Voicemails [55:26 – 63:18]

Key Themes Raised by Audience:

• Criticism of politicians for wasting time during the budget crisis and the government shutdown.
• Anger over SNAP/food stamps expansion, perceived abuse, and the difference in eligibility between then and now.
• Call for assimilation: "English is the language here... you better assimilate."
• Skepticism about New York's future after progressive wins; predictions of an exodus of “makers” and influx of “takers” seeking benefits.
• General dissatisfaction and concern for national direction; invocation of "find out" consequences for socialist experiments.

Sample Quote:

• “You make a very, very good point... Those are the takers. The makers... will leave. And your tax base will be reduced. Sure, you'll still have the population, but you won't have the money to pay for it. What are you going to do? Turn to the Feds? If there's a Trump or conservative in office, you tell them to go jump.”
  —Eric Bolling (61:43)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

[Daniel Turner]

Just close the gate.

[Eric Bolling]

We need to trump Terror Gruber. See you tomorrow, brother. All right, folks, four o' clock. Wednesday markets just close. Better day today. A little bit of bounce starting with the New York Stock exchange. That was up 224 over in Midtown Manhattan. The NASDAQ 150 higher. That was 300 plus higher earlier in the day. Kind of coming off its highs a little bit. S P had strong showing. Gold up three thirty bucks right at that four thousand dollar number again. Very, very strong. Good news though. The one piece of good news, oil was down under $60, almost a dollar a barrel lower. And crypto decided it wasn't going to go down today for first time in many, many days. It actually hit 99, 000 yesterday in the Bitcoin, now up to 103, 9, 104, let's call it. Some of the other cryptos had a nice rebound today after a massive, massive liquidation of assets in crypto. All right, let's bring our first guest in who says a secure border exists when the U.S. border Patrol can do their job, detect, identify and mitigate all attempts to cross the border illegally with 100% certainty. He says his message is simple. If you cross the border illegally, you're going to be arrested, prosecuted and deported. Happy to have U.S. border Patrol Chief Michael Banks with us. Chief, he said thanks to the increase in funding, resources and the manpower, the US Border Patrol can finally, finally do the job that you were hired to do. Tell us about it.

[Chief Michael Banks]

Well, you know, it just, it's amazing what a difference an election makes, right? We were just talking about elections but you know, there was no new law passed and we haven't received a dime yet of the OB3 money. It's on the way. And we've been able to reduce our illegal border crossings to 50 plus year lows. We have not seen these level of lows since the 1970s. You're looking at 131 people that crossed the border and entered this country and were apprehended just yesterday alone.

[Eric Bolling]

If I may, Chief may just throw this number only because I remember this. TRUMP 1.01 of his latest months in office. Certainly summer months is April of 2019 was late months in his is four year term. I'm sorry, April of 2020 border crossings were in the single digits like 17,000 or so during Biden. 200, 250, 300,000. And now it's back down to the numbers that you're speaking. There's no question this isn't one offs. This is Trump's border policy. Definitely keeps people off out of our southern border into our country. Sorry, I'll Let you continue.

[Chief Michael Banks]

And all he had to do was let us do our job. Right. Again, no new law was changed. We were just allowed to let border agents do what border trades know how to do, and that is go out and secure the border. And if you look at the numbers, we're just getting started. It's all gas, no brakes, downhill. We will not be satisfied until we get complete operational control of the border. And what that means to us is that we identify, detect, and apprehend every person that attempts to come in this country illegally, and then we prosecute them before getting them returned to their country. Our prosecution rates are up over 90%. And the numbers tell the story. And so. And imagine this. You know, agents were retiring at record numbers under the Biden administration. And now not only have many of those agents pulled their retirement paperwork, but they're asking for waivers to extend beyond the mandatory retirement age of 57, which I think is huge. Our recruiting numbers through the roof. We keep breaking numbers, recruiting numbers, month after month. So imagine that the government lets board of tragents go out and do their job and enforce the law, and more people want to be a part of that organization.

[Eric Bolling]

Chief, I don't know the answer to this. I should. With the. With the shutdown, what happens to your funding?

[Chief Michael Banks]

And so we're not funded just like the rest of the federal government. We're continuing to work. You know, there has been some concessions that have been made in order to continue funding us as far as the law enforcement aspect of it.

[Eric Bolling]

We.

[Chief Michael Banks]

But it does have a severe impact on our civilian workforce. And I think what people need to understand is that when the civilian workforce isn't at work and they're not being paid, we're having to pull law enforcement officers off the streets in order to do that work. And so it is significantly important to the security of this nation that we get this government open back up.

[Eric Bolling]

This is what really, really aggravates me about politics. This really pisses me off. Sorry, is that word? You guys are working. You're not fully funded, you're working, not getting the checks, but you're still securing our border because that's what your mission is. It's what you do. It's the right thing to. These swamp rats, these swamp dwellers. Disgusting. Congress and Senate, they're not working. They're not working. They. Oh, government shut down. We're gonna go, I don't know, go on TV or we're gonna go vacation, go back to our district, which is code for I'm going home and not working for a while. And yet you guys are continuing to secure a border. This is what drives me absolutely crazy. Thank you for doing that. We're. Where do we stand? I mean, I remember Joe, we were using barbed wire for a while. Trump wasn't. All of a sudden, Joe said, no, that's inhumane. We pulled it. Are you able to use the tactics that worked so well in Trump 1.0? Are you able to bring those back?

[Chief Michael Banks]

Absolutely. So with our DOD partners, our Dow partners, Texas National Guard is still at it heavy, helping us, we are laying down miles and miles of Constantino wire and temporary barriers every day. But understand this. We are resuming building the wall. We actually were able to find money that was appropriated specifically for building wall in the first Trump administration that the Biden administration wasn't able to steal away and use for funding illegal immigrants. And we've been able to get that money back into wall building. So we are actively building wall in numerous locations. As the OB3 money started coming in, the big beautiful bill, we've been able to start contracting more. We're going to continue to build wall works. In addition to that, I'm sure you're familiar with the border buoy project that Texas was putting into place. We'll be stranding over 500 buoy border barriers in the river and the Rio Grande river in Texas. And so we know it's been proven time and time again throughout every city in this country where Border Patrol has put in wall. And I want to be very clear on the wall, it is not just putting up a wall and walking away from it. This is a smart wall. But a lot of Americans don't understand, and I think it's very important that they, they do understand, is that there are places along the US Mexican border where you can literally see 200 yards down the river, but you can't actually get to it. So when the wall comes in, it comes with lighting, it comes with linear ground detection systems, it comes with sensor technology, camera technology, and most importantly, it comes with border roads, which allows Border Patrol agents to laterally patrol east and west along that border, which allows us to be a huge force multiplier and rapidly respond to what we're detecting before it even gets to make an entry.

[Eric Bolling]

Yeah, that's, that's just part of the. Part of the story, part of what you do. Portland. Portland, Oregon continues to be a mess. The U.S. border Patrol Special Operations executed a warrant to arrest a Venezuelan national involved in drugs and weapons trafficking with ties to trend. But he wasn't alone. More arrests were made. I mean, the criminal, illegal Mexican nationals, you guys are on all our borders, but also in our, in our major cities, finding these folks. Tell us about it.

[Chief Michael Banks]

I think it's very important to understand we're the United States Border Patrol and we will enforce immigration law anywhere in the United States and its territories. And so we, we have got several thousand Border Patrol agents working in the interior along with ICE on numerous oper. We're going to continue to. Because the message we want to send is you don't just have to cross the border and get past border patrol at the line. We're still going to fine you, we're going to apprehend you, we're going to prosecute you and return you to your country. And it doesn't create a greater level of deterrent so that those individuals that are making the decision to cross the and enter our country illegally, that there's no longer you get past the border Patrol and you're home free, we're going to come find you wherever you're at, we're going to arrest you, we're going to get you deported.

[Eric Bolling]

All right, Chief Banks. Chief Michael Manchester Border Patrol Chief, when, when these, these lunatics, these progressive liberal lunatics are out there spitting at you guys, cursing you guys out, yelling at you guys, how is the morale within, within the group? Because you got the support of the president and at least half of the country. So is that enough? It is.

[Chief Michael Banks]

And I believe that we, we look, news board controls can be unapologetic and enforcing the law, that is our job. That's what we swore an oath to do, and that's what we're going to do. You know, we understand that, that there are people that disagree with us. They can disagree all they want. Just don't impede us, don't interfere with us, or we will arrest you for that as well. What I would really like to see is the same individuals that refuse to get together and work with the right to pass a clean CR or a budget and get this government back open are the same individuals that are using rhetoric like kidnapping. Imagine that if you were pulled over for a DUI and were being arrested, would you label the person that was being arrested as having been kidnapped? And so this rhetoric that's coming from many elected officials actually puts our agents in more danger. A lot of the conflict that you're seeing on the inner cities is coming from people who are listening to elected officials that are just flat out not being honest and saying things that are creating rhetoric that put our Agents in danger, such as kidnapping, they're disappearing people. Everyone that's arrested is processed, appropriately documented, and then deported to the appropriate country. And again, you know, we just got to stop with it, with, with this rhetoric that's increasing. The violence. The violence against Border Patrol agents, ICE officers, and immigration officials is up over 1,000%. And most of that violence is coming from U.S. citizens who are targeting Border Patrol and ICE agents based on the rhetoric that they're hearing from their elected officials.

[Eric Bolling]

Once in a while, we have the Trump administration, people watching the show or hearing about some of the things we talk about here. I, for a fact, that happens occasionally. Don't know if he watches it regularly, but I'm out there, have said, listen, I. These fees you're collecting from tariffs, this is a great way pay the Border Patrol, pay our military, even if you want, you want to be fair, pay some SNAP benefits, increase some of the EBT cars, but use that money to make sure that our Border Patrol and our military are well paid, well fed, and well taken care of. Chief, we have a reporter. His name is Oscar Ramirez. He works for For Real America's Voice. He's down in Mexico, and he's literally been targeted by the Mexican cartels. And we're very concerned about him. How, how can we, you know, lend him a hand? Can you guys help? And who can we talk to make sure that he's had. He's had cartel members show up at his family's neighborhood where his wife and kids are looking for him. I mean, it gets scary. What, what would you suggest we do?

[Chief Michael Banks]

Absolutely. I'd suggest that you reach out to the same people who set up this interview. They will get that information to me, and we will assure you that we're going to protect any American that's being targeted by the cartel or anyone else. And we will get the information to the appropriate agency and ensure that they investigate and make sure that Americans are being protected, especially the reporters that are out there upholding their rights and reporting on what's actually going on. We do the same thing with our, with our Border Patrol agents. We have agents being doxed left and right. Look, I'll tell you, you see a lot of people out there saying, you know, why are agents wearing a mask? Look, I'm in Puerto Rico right now, you know, working with DOD and Dow in regards to the Venezuelan drug boats that coming to this country is also assessing everything else that's going on here on the Puerto Rican. The border with Puerto Rico. And, you know, I don't want to be out there wearing a mask in 110 degree temperature. But these agents have to protect their identities in order to protect their families. We've had agents doxed, we've had their families threatened and harassed. And once again, all because of the rhetoric coming from those who simply don't like that we're enforcing the law. And I would encourage anyone that doesn't like the law, well, open up the government, have a conversation and change the laws you don't like. But what you're not going to do is you're not going to intimidate border patrol. We will not be intimidated. We are some of the most highly trained agents in the in the United States government. We will not be intimidated into not doing our job. We're going to be unapologetic and enforcing our laws and we're going to go out there every day and we're going to enforce those laws and ensure that we're protecting America and those that belong here in this country.

[Eric Bolling]

[Rodney Williams]

I'm Rodney Williams.

[Travis Holloway]

And I'm Travis Holloway. Welcome to the wealth break.

[Rodney Williams]

Let's be honest. Building wealth doesn't look the same for everyone. It's not just about saving. It's about investing. It's about navigating systems that weren't built for you, embracing your hustle, and relying on your community to create something bigger.

[Travis Holloway]

And that's exactly why we created the wealthbreak. We made something different, something more human. It's not just another financial podcast. It's a conversation about real life, real struggles and real wins.

[Rodney Williams]

We're here to talk about the journey. You're hearing from people who've broken barriers, found creative ways to succeed, and learn to build wealth on their terms. Whether it's the first time homeowner, a gig worker, or someone turning a side hustle into a six figure business, we're bringing you their stories.

[Travis Holloway]

And we're not stopping at success stories. We're breaking down the realities, like what it means to take risk, how to navigate failure, and why resilience matters. Because wealth isn't about money. It's about creating a life where you can thrive and help others to do the same.

[Rodney Williams]

So if you're ready for a podcast as much as about people as it is about money, you're in the right place.

So Americans are getting crushed by debt. And when you're buried in credit card and loan debt, it's easy to put it off and think, well, I'll deal with that later. The experts at Done with Debt discovered a new strategy that can dramatically reduce or even eliminate some of your debt. So today, Gillian Barbary joins us. You know her as a TV personality, but what you may not know is she's lived through this debt stress herself. Gillian, welcome. Please. You've been through the debt battle. What do you know now that you wish you'd known sooner?

[Gillian Barbary]

Well, I wish I had known about donewithdat.com sooner, to be honest with you, Eric. I stumbled into them by chance by a friend of mine. At that point, I was seriously going through chemo. I had bills forever burying me, two kids, no child support. I had a radio job and I went to it every day. Thank goodness I wasn't on tv. I was bald. But the debt just was, oh my gosh, insurmountable black cloud. And what people don't realize is with debt comes emotional stress, right? So some people, it's shameful. They don't want to talk to anybody. This is where you can talk to someone done with that.com, these are master negotiators on your side. And you've got a free consultation if you call them up. Look at the testimonials online. It's really an incredible way that they approach debt. They don't want to get you into bankruptcy. They don't want to get one big consolidated loan. They want to get you debt free and on your way to financial freedom using their equations. And what you have to do is just call them up and talk to them first. That way they can speak with the banking institutions and they can speak with the credit card companies. They also know some of the ins and outs that we as Americans don't know. Right. The American consumer has no idea. And look, these are people just trying to live. And it could be your favorite NFL player, maybe he was mismanaged with money because he's out on the field. For me, it was just, you know, a multitude of things that happened. Even though I had a bunch of TV shows at the time, trusting the wrong people, believing that they had your back. You have to, I don't care how type B you are like me, you must keep your eyes on the prize. And that is your money. You are working hard for it. So it happens to the average American, even Americans that we know that are making a lot of money. And we see these people daily on tv. Our sports heroes could be musical heroes. Sometimes they are just actors. We tend to think that everyone on TV has this great nest. For me, when cancer struck, I had nothing to go back on and I was in severe debt. So, you know, thank goodness they came along and they got me on the path to financial stress. Fee free freedom. Now listen, am I living like I used to? Absolutely not. And that's okay because I'm living now debt free.

[Eric Bolling]

I only have about a minute or so. Real quick, very quickly, how can people get in touch? What this is the right time to do it. If you don't mind. Give us that last.

[Gillian Barbary]

Absolutely, Eric. So the first thing I tell people is don't pay another bill. Put the bill down and go to donewithdebt.com before you do do anything else. And overnight, literally the nasty phone call, Stop the mail stops. It literally took two days for all of that to happen. And that just unloads a tremendous amount of stress from you right there. So go to donewithdet.com again, free consultation. You've got nothing to lose. And look at the testimonials. At least see the people that they've helped. They're an incredible group of people that are on your side.

[Eric Bolling]

Right? Right. Jillian, thank you so, so much. Appreciate your time. Jillian Barbary, done with debt.com.

[Gillian Barbary]

Thanks so much, Eric. See you soon.

[Eric Bolling]

All right, let's bring in our next guest who says America's energy future may be in danger due to this $85 billion merger between Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern railroads. Here to discuss is the founder and executive director of Power the Future, Daniel Turner. Daniel, you say without competitive and responsive freight rail service, America will be in trouble. Very, very important that you explain why merger, how big it will be, and what are risks to you and me, to mom pop, middle America if this thing goes through.

[Guest or Caller]

Yeah.

[Daniel Turner]

And I'm approaching this from the energy perspective because we rely on rail to transport crude, natural gas, coal, etc. And we've seen in the past when these huge monopolies take place, that they actually do hurt consumers. In the last 20 years, for example, the price of trucking has gone up, up, sure. But the price of rail has gone up 70% more. And the reason why is because there are a very few number of rail companies, there are only four now nationwide that have merged and they've created these huge monopolies and these huge conglomerates. And that cuts down competitiveness, it cuts down choice, and it ultimately drives up price. So, yes, I care about it from energy, but everybody who, you know, who cares about manufactured goods or agriculture or any product, product that has to get shipped should be concerned about this consolidation of power by, by large companies.

[Eric Bolling]

You know, I spent a lot of time in the energy business before I got involved in television. And one of the things we notice is as it becomes more and more difficult to drill pipelines, to dig holes, dig trenches and put pipelines in because of, you know, basically progressive people don't want pipeline running through their, their states. So they block these things. Keystone pipeline, et cetera, all that shipping has to go above ground. Rail is the obvious beneficiary of that. But when you only have a couple of options, if this merger goes through, that brings the big four down to three, right?

[Daniel Turner]

Yeah, exactly. And that's the huge problem here, is that when you have fewer companies that control the market, Then they get to dictate the price. And the reason why we have so much competitive pricing in other industries is because there is a lot of competition. So I'm concerned about it from the, this perspective. It's why government regulates and is careful of these types of mergers because ultimately when power is consolidated and just the handful of, of, of companies, consumers haven't benefited in the end.

[Eric Bolling]

Let's take A Listen to J.D. vance, Vice President J.D. vance at TP USA recently talking about the dangers of monopolies. And we want to talk about all monopolies necessarily aren't bad, but, but certain ones are. But take a listen to JD Now. But there's a broader question there. And I think most Americans, whatever their political persuasion, would countries, political parties to work together better to solve the problems. And look, and I agree with that and my approach when I was in the United States Senate was to try to find some issues where we could agree with the other side on and try to work with them on it. And like, let me give you one example. I'm, I'm a really, I really worry about concentration in the corporate sector. I worry about big corporate monopolies. I worry that when you have only one or two, two companies dominating an entire sector, it's bad for liberty and it's bad for prosperity. Yeah, yeah. Bad for liberty. Very, very important. And also bad for really price discovery. Go ahead, take it from there.

[Daniel Turner]

Yeah, exactly. And we've seen this in other industries that have had the same sort of consolidation of power. Right. And how it hasn't benefited the consumers. And that's something that, you know, we have to be concerned about. We all need our energy to be delivered. We need our consumer goods, our food to be transported nationwide. And this conglomerate of power isn't going to benefit the American people. If anything, it's going to drive up prices. Look at for example, the banking industry and how people like Elizabeth Warren jumped into this space saying they were going to regulate it. After 15 years, what do we have? We have fewer, stronger, wealthier, big banks with fewer choices for American people. Same with health care. Same with pharma.

[Eric Bolling]

Right.

[Daniel Turner]

So to see railroad go down this track is not something that, that is going to be ever beneficial to the American consumer.

[Eric Bolling]

You know, I'm a free marketeer. I talk about it all the time here. Some of my folks that watch don't love the fact I don't like tariffs because I like the free market, like government out of our markets. This merger creates a bit of a red flag for me because you need the, what is it? The stb, the Surface Transportation Board to approve this. Is there a deal that they're going to cut so that government allays this, this deal, this merger?

[Daniel Turner]

Well, I mean you could never imagine big business getting in bed with big government.

[Eric Bolling]

Right?

[Daniel Turner]

You don't know. There are no, no shady deals have ever happened that way. No, this is something that has to be approved. And there are X number of railroad track in the country and they're not going to be building any anymore. And that's why the fewer people who get to have access to this track consolidates that power and is bad for.

[Eric Bolling]

So the folks we put out a.

[Daniel Turner]

Letter asking for this merger to be stopped. Exactly. To the, to the Service Transportation Board.

[Eric Bolling]

Just take us through. Only about a minute and a half or so left here, Dan, because I want one follow up question. But take us through how the actual boots on the ground folks watching right now middle America would be affected by this merger if it goes through.

[Daniel Turner]

Well, again, you have to think of everything that is transported through rail. And I care about it because a third, a third of our nation still runs on coal.

[Guest or Caller]

Coal.

[Daniel Turner]

And coal is transported by rail. Natural gas, crude oil, a lot of it is transported by rail. And when you have fewer companies setting the price, the price of that goes up and ultimately the price is paid by the consumer. So yes, they're going to charge more for fees to use the rail, but they'll just on the back end charge the consumer more and the prices will continue. What keeps prices low is competition. And to have competition, we need more companies, not fewer in this space.

[Eric Bolling]

And finally we recall, pretty sure it was Norfolk Southern that had a problem in East Palestine, Ohio. Right. How'd that turn out? How'd that go exactly?

[Daniel Turner]

Has it even been resolved at this point? We remember Joe Biden didn't visit there once. I think it took Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, I think over a month to actually show up. And, and there's always going to be accidents, you know, and they're terrible when they happen. But safety is also a concern. The larger the corporation, the worse the track record is on reliability, on affordability and also on safety.

[Eric Bolling]

All right, Daniel, before we go, how can folks find out more about. I think I came across this. I read your op ed. Tell us where we can find out more. And they want to get involved and vote against it, so to speak.

[Daniel Turner]

Thank you. Yeah, you can see our, our letter and our op ed on power the future dot com. And on the letter we show you how you can Contact the Service Transportation board and let them, let them know your concerns.

[Eric Bolling]

Where's that op ed? I read it.

[Daniel Turner]

The op ed was on Town hall originally. You can see it on our website as well.

[Eric Bolling]

Right. I read it. I thought it was examiner, but it's Town Hall. Yeah, it's a great op ed. Thank you so much. Daniel Turner, good to see you again, my friend. Long time, long time. Friends via tv but all around, really, really smart guy. Daniel Turner, founder and executive director of Power the Future, folks. Thank you, Daniel.

[Daniel Turner]

Anytime.

[Eric Bolling]

All right, folks, we'll be right back. Peter Alexander, last question.

[Daniel Turner]

Clearly we're contemplating what would happen if they struck down these tariffs.

[Eric Bolling]

Are you or how are you preparing for that continuous well, I just said we're going to cross that. That's your words, not mine. And it's a silly statement. So don't make it so. We are confident and especially after today, I believe that the solicitor general made a great case. I actually thought that the two plaintiff's attorneys in a way embarrassed themselves because at one point there was a question. So you believe that the president of the United States has the authority to embargo a country but does not have the authority to to assert a 1% tariff and the plaintiff's attorney was forced to say yes. So it's completely nonsensical. Thanks, Everybody. Thank you, Mr. Secretary. Well, that was Treasury Secretary Scott Besant reacting to the administration stood in front of the Supreme Court today to argue their case in favor of imposing tariffs in the Supreme Court. Court was skeptical. Katanji Brown, a couple of liberals on on the bench were giving our solicitor general u. S. Solicitor General a bit of a hard time. I was listening to some of that testimony. Pretty fascinating stuff. All right. By the way, in a sea of winning against the backdrop of such a massive win in November 2024, exactly one year ago to the day, on November 5th, the President, the House, the Senate all, all went back to the gop. Against the backdrop of more and more wins throughout this year, the losses in New York, Virginia, New Jersey and California can feel like a tough pill to swallow. And no Wall Street Journal. This is not a Democrat comeback. More on that nonsense in just a moment. But folks, let's just calm down for a second, take a very deep breath and allow me to take you on a little tour to explain why. One, one, this is expected and two, we can use it to our advantage if we use it smartly, wisely. The media owned by the Democrat party is going to enjoy their messaging today. I'm sure they Are voters reject Trump? Saw that voters make their voices heard in early referendum of Trump. The propaganda machine is hard at work staging this as some sort of Democrat comeback. It's not, not even close, my friends. New York, New Jersey, Virginia, California. Blue, blue, blue and bluer. Do we really think there was a chance of GOP wins in any of these of the above? President Trump lost these in 2024. People have marched through the streets of these places calling for ICE to be disbanded, for the president to be assassinated, for Israel to be annihilated. What do we expect? Did we think places like that would change in the span of just 12 months? No. No. We've been sending warning shots about Zoran Mamdani for several months now. And those fears rang true after his win last night. All you have to do is listen to the far left rage. The truth comes out, of course, after the election. Now, New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant, build a city hall that stands steadfast alongside Jewish New Yorkers and does not waver in the fight against the scourge of anti Semitism, where The more than 1 million Muslims know that they belong. Standing before you, I think of the words of Jawaharlal Nehru. A moment comes, but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance. Tonight, we have stepped out from the old into the new. Jalala Nehru. To be clear, the man, man he quoted right there, is the Marxist founding father of socialist India. That man he quoted destroys India's soul in the name of progress. Mamdani is promising to do the same to New York. And even the progressive liberal Van Jones had to criticize this angry little Marxist. That speech appealed to some, but I.

[Travis Holloway]

Think he missed an opportunity.

[Eric Bolling]

I think the Mamdani that we saw in the campaign trail, who was a lot more calm, who was a lot warmer, who was a lot more embracing, was not present in that speech. I think his tone was sharp. I think he was using the microphone in a way that he was almost yelling, you know, that's what New York gets. I mean, you think he was going to be the same guy after the election that he was before? It's kind of like getting married, isn't it? I digress. My wife's beautiful, wonderful. I think New York City now has far bigger problems than tone. Sorry about that, Van Jones. But so it goes as far back as June, we warned about his connections to the Muslim Brotherhood right here on the show, his Marxist ideas, the Soros connection, it's all there. We've also warned about Spamberger in Virginia and about Mickey Cheryl in New Jersey and about California passing Prop 50 to change the law ex constitutionally. New Jersey in the north is populated by the same people who elected the jihadist communists in New York City and in the south of New Jersey, those same people who elected a sub average IQ Communist to be mayor of Philadelphia, Virginia, controlled by swarms of federal government workers who live in Northern Virginia and are angry at President Trump. It's true. New York is done. At least until another Rudy Giuliani comes along to clean up the mess. Not sure you'll find it New York. But they got what they voted for for. And they'll find out the consequences of their choice soon enough. Play very stupid games, win very stupid prizes. New Jersey will be enjoying grooming and indoctrination. Indoctrination in their public schools. Virginia will see boys and girls locker rooms. California will continue to be the swamp derivative state. Nothing really changes. For the wokest bluest of states ever. These people exercise their democratic rights and they'll get exactly what they voted for. But the Republic is still in GOP hands for now, being saved brick by brick every single day. We got a year you got to worry about 2026. And to remind us, this took over at the Mondami campaign headquarters. Trump is your president. What a genius moment that was hacking the screen at the Communist campaign headquarters. But what happened on Tuesday says nothing about what's really happening, which is that the Democrat Party is dying a death, its ratings are through the floor, and it' says nothing about 2026 or 2028. It does, however, mean that their party is now fully embraced. The far left, the socialists, as an annoyingly jolly AOC points out, not party unity. When it serves everybody, it puts those folks on notice. And I think it also puts folks.

On notice that we have a future to plan for. We have a future to fight for. And we're either going to do that together.

Together, or you're going to be left behind. These people are celebrating socialism. They're celebrating socialism. It's, it's ruined countries, it's killed hundreds of millions of people worldwide. And like I said before, it's a creep. You start in New York, Minneapolis, California, Virginia. It, it's a cancer. It's going to metastasize. It will. To be clear what our favorite little communist there is saying to her own party it's far less left or bust. It's socialism or there's the door. And that that is going to work well in our favor. The further left they go, the more wins we'll have now in the midterms and in 2028, it will further progress and help push along the death of that party. Problem is what becomes of the party. It's almost like the Rhinos became maga, a better version of conservatism. The left is going to go the opposite way. They're going to take the the progressive leftists and become socialist. I don't know. This country is far, far bifurcating. Splitting, dividing and getting further and further. American Americans with a just a lick of common sense won't stand for it. We're hoping in the days and weeks ahead you'll see and hear people try to say that Tuesday was a rejection of maga. Don't fall for their propaganda. We're not going to back to the days of the Rhino, the days of McCain and Romney's. No way. None of that. None of what these pundits and propagandists will say about what happened on Tuesday is true. Simply a repeat of 2024, nothing more. So let's all calm down and on the 2026 where we do need to focus, we do need to focus on 2026. You got to get that president back, engaged early, maybe even start now. We're a year out from 2026 elections. Maybe it's time you start to stumping for some Republicans. Keep the House. You got to keep that House and Senate. All right, folks, we'll be back in two and a half minutes.

[Rodney Williams]

It's one of Ronald Reagan's most famous just one of his best quotes ever. The nine most terrifying words in the.

[Daniel Turner]

English language are I'm from the government.

[Eric Bolling]

And I'm here to help. Which makes what New York City Mayor elect Zoran Mamdani said in his victory speech last night all the more terrifying for New Yorkers. We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about. I'm libertarian, folks. I'm the exact opposite of that. He just said there's no problem. Government can't. Yes, there are. They create more problems. They can't solve a damn thing they can't spend their money better than you. They're awful. They're terrible. Get government out of our lives. New York. You guys are nuts. Free stuff means that much to you. You're going to lose your city, your state, maybe the country. Mamdani also felt the need to address the President directly in his speech last night. I think he'll find that to be a big mistake, sending him right to the. The find out portion of the proceedings in due time. But one of the things that propelled Mamdani was this false vision and hope that he could somehow stand up to President Trump. Well, he jumped on that one again. Watch. So, Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you. Turn the volume up. We will hold bad landlords to account because the Donald Trumps of our city have grown far too comfortable taking advantage of their tenants. Donald Trump's your city. And leave. Then you won't have anyone paying the tax bills for all the free crap you're going to give away to illegals and everyone else that wants to become a New Yorker now, because don't have to work, just get free stuff. It doesn't work. I think we can all agree that the Democrat Party that once existed, the one that, that Republicans could work with at least some of the time, is now completely gone. Far left has taken over. It's a brutal truth even CNN had to deal with last night.

The story for tonight is actually that the Socialist Party is taking over the Democrat Party. And you know what?

It was Andrew Cuomo.

It was Kathy Hochul. It were the Democrats that were so.

Afraid of their shadows, so afraid of the radical left.

People like Alexandra Casio Cortez kept moving, moving, moving, satisfy them. And now they've been eaten alive. So this is a lesson for the Democrat Party.

They should have fought for their party. They never fought for their party.

They catered to the radical left. So if you think you're going to get a free ride with Mandani, you're going to learn the hard way.

That's why the answer to someone smack that de Blasio right in the kisser. AOC was really on her communist element last night, wasn't she? Smiling, reveling in yet another win on her Marxist little belt. But when she was asked about how the President will respond to Mamdani's win, some of that crazy came right out. Are you at all afraid of what that fight is going to look like in the coming weeks?

Do you think Mamdani is ready to take on President Trump?

Well, you know, it doesn't surprise me. You know, President Trump is a 34 time convicted felon.

The Supreme Court has given him a blank check to continue to commit crimes while in office.

So we cannot, we cannot underestimate the.

Threat and the danger of this moment.

But we cannot respond to that threat with cowardice. Right. She's right. We cannot underestimate the threat and the danger of that moment. The moment being the socialist and Marxist elected mayor of New York City, the financial capital of the world, Hakeem Jeffries, was put in his place last night on cnn. By Dana Bass. Shockingly, when Hakeem tried yet again to blame the Democrats own shutdown on Republicans. Well, Donald Trump and Republicans shut the.

[Travis Holloway]

Government down and refused to reopen it.

[Eric Bolling]

Donald Trump has spent the last 35.

[Travis Holloway]

Days more time on the golf course, more time talking to Hamas, and more time talking to the Chinese Communist Party than to Democrats on Capitol Hill who represent half the country.

[Eric Bolling]

Mr. Leader, you guys are voting no on opening the government, not Republicans.

I know you're asking for specific things.

And it's much more complicated than that. We'll get to that in one second.

[Rodney Williams]

Hold on a second, Dana, because let's.

[Travis Holloway]

Just be clear about that. American people clearly understand who's responsible for shutting down the government.

[Eric Bolling]

Yeah, but you said they shut down the government.

[Travis Holloway]

They did shut down the government. They have the House, the Senate and the presidency. And Donald Trump has spent the last few days saying to Republicans in the Senate, you have the power to reopen the government. They refuse to do it.

[Eric Bolling]

Except we showed you a bunch of times when Hakeem Jeffries and others said, well, let's, let's keep it shut down. This is how we get leverage over Trump. They can't have it both ways. But politicians lie through their teeth. If their mouths are moving, they're lying. We all know that. So you know what they're going to say that that looks like the old proverbial apple doesn't fall far from the lying husband politician tree. The first lady of the state of California has clearly been enlisted to tell lies about the President because her worst half needs a little break from doing it.

[Gillian Barbary]

There is too much at stake. We refuse to re to raise our children to cowto, to a man who prays on fear, who terrorizes women, children, the LGBTQ community and immigrants, who threatens and robs us of our hard earned freedoms, A man who disrespects our veterans and mocks our disabled, who strips health care and SNAP benefits from families who need the most.

[Eric Bolling]

She Swallowed in the back. Swallow in the back. Like, he's like, how can I make a meme? How can I. How can I do an Instagram video on this? Morons. All them losers. Maybe it's time to change Whoopi Goldberg's name to Whoopsie Goldberg. Whoopi and her clueless friends at the View have had to issue a lot of corrections lately. And Whoopi's really, really n liking lately having to issue one of her latest. Watch this reaction.

He said that Joe Biden didn't know.

Who he was pardoning using an auto pen.

How come you don't know who this guy is?

Because he used an auto.

[Chief Michael Banks]

Let me.

[Gillian Barbary]

Meetings with the judge. The meetings that they're supposed to go.

[Eric Bolling]

To when they're listening to what the hell?

[Guest or Caller]

What?

[Eric Bolling]

I love when Sonny passes notes. We don't know if Penn used. If Trump used an auto pen to part. It was a joke.

[Gillian Barbary]

We don't know if Trump used an auto pen.

[Eric Bolling]

Come on. But we do know that he didn't know who that crypto guy was. Well, I'm sorry. You know, the hardest thing about this.

Job now is no one understands nuance there. You know when you hear a joke.

When somebody's fooling around, when they're not.

Saying something specific, especially on this show.

I'm very specific. When I'm. When I'm pointing stuff out, when I'm making jokes.

You know when I'm making jokes. Ah, okay. You want. You know, you live by the sword, die by the sword. Whoopi, there are a lot of people who've made jokes, and you've called them bigoted, racist, and whatnot. Not for being funny, for being joking. So either you want to have it all. Every. Every single word out of your mouth is held to account. Fine. That's fine. You do it to us. We're going to do it back to you. Finally, ABC producers are like, all right, enough, Whoopi.

[Rodney Williams]

I'm Rodney Williams.

[Travis Holloway]

And I'm Travis Holloway. Welcome to the wealth break.

[Rodney Williams]

Let's be honest. Building wealth doesn't look the same for everyone. It's not just about saving. It's about investing. It's about navigating systems that weren't built for you, embracing your hustle and relying on your community to create something bigger.

[Travis Holloway]

And that's exactly why we created the wealth break. We made something different, something more human. It's not just another financial podcast. It's a conversation about real life life, real struggles and real wins.

[Rodney Williams]

We're here to talk about the journey. You're hearing from people who've broken barriers, found creative ways to succeed, and learn to build wealth on their terms. Whether it's the first time homeowner, a gig worker, or someone turning a side hustle into a six figure business. We're bringing you their stories.

[Travis Holloway]

And we're not stopping at success stories. We're breaking down the realities, like what it means to take risk, how to navigate failure, and why resilience matters. Because wealth isn't about money. It's about creating a life where you can thrive and help others to do the same.

[Rodney Williams]

So if you're ready for a podcast as much as about people as it is about money, you're in the right place.

[Guest or Caller]

You.

[Eric Bolling]

All right, folks, we got a bunch of voicemails. I ringing through a bunch of them. We got through maybe a hundred or so. I got about thousand, two thousand left to go, but keep them coming. I love hearing from you because we make a lot of what we do on the show. Want to hear what you have to say? And we're going to get to a couple very quick with Mad Dog. We have some video now of this plane that crash. UPS plane to crash in Louisville, Kentucky, just, just as it was taking off, three people on board died. 11 people so far on the ground died as well. And this video is just stunning, folks. Just stunning. Watch this. It's almost like a movie. Unfortunately, it's not a movie. Deadly. Deadly UPS crash in Kentucky just yesterday. Yeah, originally they said three people who were on board died and apparently so far, eight on the ground died as well. All right, folks, mad though you got some voicemails for us. I can't hear you. Oh, sorry. There you go. First one is, viewer agrees with Bannon. Got it.

[Guest or Caller]

Hi, Eric, it's Jeffrey Cullen. I'm just watching TV here with you Were playing Omar. The great Steve Bannon is there and watching him right now. I agree with him one bazillion percent that they shouldn't be here and be naturalized, because, number one, they were not born here. Number two, they're not real Americans and they need to be put out of the United States. The other thing is they need to speak English here. I think Trump made that so that our language is English. They can't be speaking in a foreign language. The third thing with Omar wearing a turban. Church and state, baby. Church and state. No church in state. That's her church. She needs to take that turban off and never wear it again if she's in that. In that house. So those are my opinions and Fannin, I agree with you, both of you. You're doing good. So go after them, baby. Go after them. If you need help, call me because I'll help you. All right, Have a good day.

[Eric Bolling]

Well, thank you. Thank you for that voice. I think you speak to so many people. Look, English is the language here. You want to come over? You want to come over with asylum? This is technically the only way you can come over without going through the full citizenship vetting process. You want asylum, you better assimilate. Assimilate to what? We are here, to our culture, to our language, which Trump mentioned in executive order, never gets codified. So all these executive orders that he signs in the Oval Office, they need to go through congressional approval. Rubber stamp them, get them through. We got the House, we got the Senate. What the hell are they waiting for? What the hell are they waiting for? And other ones burning the flag. You know, we've talked about that quite a bit here. Mad Dog, you got another one? Yeah. Viewer has something to say about the budget crisis.

[Guest or Caller]

Yeah. How you doing, Erica? Hey, this is John. I'm in California. Lost California. But I have a big problem with what's going on in this whole budget crisis going on. You know, the. All the politicians should be working, you know, instead they're all, you know, visiting news outlets and all that other nonsense. If they were working in House, they wouldn't be out there propaganda or doing whatever it is they're doing or playing and vacation. They need to get to work. I'm retired now, but there was never a time that I would say, oh, gee, I don't feel like working or I have a disagreement. Get them back to work.

[Eric Bolling]

That's so true. I think you're speaking to everyone. If they were working, not getting paid, and weren't going to get paid until they finally got together and solved the budget crisis, the, the shutdown, they do it faster, I'm convinced. But they're in no rush. They're no rush. The left thinks they got leverage over Trump by staying closed. The right says, you know, it's their fault, it's stupid. Just open the damn thing up. I just hate the idea of bigger and bigger government. Higher and higher thresholds for, for our spending. We're up to seven half trillion dollars of spending. Are you kidding me? Seven half trillion dollars? Five, seven years ago, eight years ago it was three trillion, three and a half trillion. We've doubled in, in five or six years. Nothing else doubles in that period of time. Why should they get so much more tax money? Who knows? Mad Dog, this next viewer was denied food stamps.

[Guest or Caller]

SNAP slash food stamps. Back about 1983. I lost my job permanently of 10 years. At the very same time my wife, a nurse, lost her job permanently. Three years before, before we bought a new house when nobody was buying homes. We bought a new car three years before nobody was buying new cars. There was a deep recession, nobody was hiring. We were in a panic. We had two kids in diapers. So I said, well, let's apply for the goodies. So we applied for food stamps. We were denied. Why? Because we had a home, we had a car. The only thing we were allowed to have was wic. How many people would not qualify under what we were denied? Portland, Oregon Let me explain something to you.

[Eric Bolling]

He's so right. Even just up until when Trump left office in his first term. About $55 billion in SNAP benefits, all in EBT cards, et cetera, help, WIC, all the programs. 55 billion Trump's last year year, Biden's last year and just four years later, 115 billion more than doubled, more than doubled in four years under Joe Biden. They're giving it away, folks. They're just giving your money, your hard earned taxpayer away. That's what they love to do in dc. It's got to stop. I don't waste. Fraud and abuse in that system has got to stop. Mad Dog, this next viewer says people are moving into New York.

[Guest or Caller]

I just want to say I'm from Pennsylvania, western pa. I called several times. I just want to let you guys know you're looking at it the wrong way because everybody in Western PA are renting U Hauls. They're waiting for tonight's election in New York. They can't wait to move in. There's going to be more people moving in for the free food, free rent and free money. Think about it that way.

[Eric Bolling]

You make a very, very good point. Here's a problem. Problem. You're right. They will. They'll come from everywhere to free. New York's gonna give away food, rent control, and you're great. I'm moving back. But those are the takers. Those are the folks that take. There's makers and there's takers. Those are the takers, the makers. The people who earn the tax base that New York sucks off of with their taxes. Those folks are going to leave because you need more and more money to take care of more and more takers giving more stuff. You need more tax money money when the only place to get is from the makers. The makers don't say, screw it, I'm gonna go to Florida. I'm go to Florida. I'm gonna. There's no state income tax in Florida. The. The. The. No state income tax in Florida. The business taxes. The city income tax in New York City is 8% alone now. May go up to who knows what. 12, 15. The. The makers will leave. They're just going to go. And your tax base will be reduced. Sure, you'll still have the population, but you won't have the money to pay for it. What are you going to do? You're going to turn to the Feds, aren't you? And if there's a Trump or conservative in the office, the Oval Office, you tell them to go jump. Screw you. You want socialism? Fafo. This is the find out portion of F A, F O. Mom. Dummy. AOC Bernie Sanders. I can keep going, but we're running out of time. Appreciate you. Love you. We'll see you tomorrow, Bannon. WHARAM is coming up next. Really fun having him yesterday. Hit him up. Tell him on social media. Bannon, get back here. We love the conversations back and forth. Have a great night, folks. We'll see you tomorrow. Warham is up next.
