- Speculation that opposition to Trump overshadows consistent policy positions.
Notable Quote:
“If Trump declared that air and oxygen is wonderful and beautiful, Democrats would say, well, it’s not really that good and he’s wrong.”
(Eric Bolling, 14:25)

- Notable that China is giving targeting information to Russia, deepening geopolitical complexity.
Notable Quote:
“That 1,550-mile range on the Tomahawk opens up a couple thousand at least potential Russian military targets of significance. And so that is why Putin is now sitting up and taking notice…”
(Mike Baker, 38:00)
- Debate over ongoing US involvement in Ukraine:
- Bolling questions the necessity and cost, raising an “isolationist” argument.
- Baker counters that interconnected global security justifies involvement, but acknowledges Europe should bear more responsibility.
Notable Quote:
“Why the hell are we wasting blood and treasure on any other foreign conflict, any of them? … Negotiate peace, but I don’t know why we’re supplying arms, money, and intel to any side of any conflict.”
(Eric Bolling, 42:10)“The world’s very interconnected and we can’t just pretend as if what happens in one location isn’t going to impact us.”

- Claims Democratic leaders’ rhetoric (Barack Obama, Hakeem Jeffries, Chuck Schumer) is tacit encouragement to Antifa.

(Eric Bolling, 01:03:00)
Listener Voicemails / Audience Feedback
[01:10:30 – 01:18:40]
- Call-ins cover:
- Adam Schiff’s (dubbed “Shifty Shift”) actions: A listener calls for severe punishment, Bolling notes legal penalties for treason but advises putting politicians behind bars is more realistic.
- Antifa: Caller suggests the Proud Boys confront them; Bolling gives a tongue-in-cheek response.
