They're listening to the radio. They're listening to podcasts.
Donald Trump
They could be listening to you.
Eric Bolling
Don't wait for everyone else to kick off the holidays.
Donald Trump
Get your best season of the year up and running today.
Eric Bolling
Call 844-844-IHeart or visit iheartadvert advertising.com and so the FBI is playing a pivotal role in your administration in helping lead out this mission. And Steven's vision has finally come to life. And instead of attacking the people at this table, maybe the media should go out there and talk to the lives that have been saved forever and the communities that have been safeguarded, because it takes courage to do that.
Donald Trump
It takes courage to implement that plan.
Eric Bolling
And it takes a president and President Trump to put a leadership team like this together. We are actual friends, and I know the media doesn't want to call us that, but we do do that. We do hang out.
Donald Trump
We do work together.
Eric Bolling
It's a 24, 7, 365 mission that doesn't turn off. Mr. President. And as Stephen said, we're inspired by your leadership and this country's. Thankful for these eight months. And I can't wait to see what the next four years looks like.
Donald Trump
Thank you very much. Thanks, Gesh. Great job. Todd, please. Thank you.
Eric Bolling
Mr. President. The number that I think matters, the three, over 3,000, 3,266 terrorists have been taken off the streets in two months. And for each of those arrests, there's anywhere from between 4 to 20 law enforcement agents, federal, state, and local, executing those arrests. And that means every one of them are putting their lives on the line to make these arrests, to make our community safer. And so what I will say to them is thank you. But also what I will say to.
Donald Trump
Them is that to the extent that.
Eric Bolling
There are politicians as recently as today suggesting they are doing something wrong, we have governors, district attorneys, military mayors, and even congresswomen suggesting that our federal law enforcement and the state and local law enforcement that are helping them are doing something wrong, that is disgusting and something that we will not tolerate. That every day, Attorney General Bondi and I talk with all of our partners, making sure that they know that if any one of our federal agents, our state or local agents, working under the HSTF banner, are even touched by any of these terrorists or rioters, they will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. When politicians aid these terrorists by trying to give them comfort or protection or suggesting that somehow our men and women are doing the wrong thing.
Donald Trump
Same problem.
Eric Bolling
We will not tolerate it, Mr. President. So thank you to all of our state and local men and women that are helping us and our federal law enforcement officers that are literally putting their lives on the line every single day with. We will always protect you. Thank you, Mr. President.
Donald Trump
Thank you very much. Todd. A really good job you're doing, too. Thank you. Any questions maybe pertaining.
Eric Bolling
Mr. President.
Donald Trump
How about pertaining to this for a little while? Whoa, whoa, whoa. Would you have any questions of these incredible people?
Eric Bolling
Mr. President. Mr. President.
Donald Trump
Yeah, go ahead, please. Go ahead.
Eric Bolling
Mr. President. Thank you. Mr. President. Thank you.
Donald Trump
Good to see you.
Eric Bolling
If I could just ask both of you, including Secretary Hexth, there's reporting the.
Donald Trump
US just sent B1 bombers near Venezuela.
Eric Bolling
To ramp up some military pressure there. Is that accurate? And can you tell us more about that?
Donald Trump
It's not accurate, no, it's false. But we're. We're not happy with Venezuela for a lot of reasons, drugs being one of them. But also they've been sending their prisoners into our country for years under the Biden administration. Not anymore. We have a closed border. We had actually nobody for the last four months, I guess five months. They say they report nothing. They report zero. I don't know if that can be possible. But that's. We'll accept it. Right, fellas? But we have closed borders. We have people coming into our country, but they only come in legally. We have the strongest borders we've ever had. We might have the strongest borders of almost any nation right now, and that's a big difference from what it was two years ago when everybody was pouring in. But we're very unhappy with Venezuela because of what they've done. They've emptied their prisons into our country. Nobody could do that. Only a stupid person would have accepted it. And that's what we had running our country. Very stupid people. So we're not happy with Venezuela. I will tell you. Yeah. Mr. President.
Eric Bolling
Mr. President.
Donald Trump
Thank you. President Trump.
Eric Bolling
Yes. On fentanyl.
Donald Trump
I'm saying we're going to lose good medical help right over. That's all right.
Eric Bolling
On fentanyl. According to CDC data, nearly 330,000Americans died over the past five years from fentanyl. That's one in every 1,000Americans who died.
Donald Trump
It's more. More than that, but, yes.
Eric Bolling
You think it's even more.
Donald Trump
I'll be discussing that with President.
Eric Bolling
Yes. So that's actually my question. I figured, I was wondering since mostly comes from China and has caused such carnage in the U.S. what are you going to say to convey the seriousness and also a second question for you or Secretary Hegseth, is there any evidence that China is now smuggling fentanyl through Venezuela to bypass US and Mexican port controls?
Donald Trump
They are doing that, yes. But they are paying right now a 20% tariff because of fentanyl. That's billions and billions of dollars that they're paying. We're actually on November 1st the a tariff on China goes to 157% which is record setting territory. And we don't want that because that's not sustainable for them. They can't sustain that. We don't want them to have to go through that. So I'm meeting with President Sheehan. I would say the first, we have some big issues like with the farmers and various other things. But the first question I'm going to be asking him about is fentanyl. And if you think about it, they make 100 million. Think of this. They make $100 million selling fentanyl into our country. 100 million. They lose $100 billion with the 20% tariff. So it's not a good business proposition. It's $100 billion approximately that they have to pay. That's a big penalty to make 100 million. So I think they want to do something. They want to put it on the list. It's on the list. It's one of the things we're talking about and I'm putting it right at the front of the list. So they pay a very big penalty for doing that and I don't think they want to be doing it. And we'll see what happens at the end of next week because I'll be meeting next week, as you know, along with we're stopping in Malaysia, we're stopping in South Korea, we're stopping in Japan. I'm meeting with President Xi actually in South Korea. So it'll be the first thing on the list. Yeah, please. Yes, Mr. President.
Eric Bolling
On the drug boats. On the drug boats, sir. Has there been any, any discussion about capturing one so that you can show.
Donald Trump
The amount of narcotics about them? Yeah, yeah. Jennifer, we know everything about them. We know where they're coming from, who they're coming with, generally who's in the boat. I'll let Pete discuss it a little bit. But they have incredible intelligence and you know, usually when you see five engines, I've never even seen that before. But when you see five engines on a boat going about 65 miles an hour, loaded up with white powder in silver cases, generally speaking, that's not a good sign they're not going fishing. Right. And you don't see any fishing rods. Right. So, Pete, I'll let you discuss that a little bit, please.
Eric Bolling
Well, yes, sir, likewise. Generally, you don't see fishing in submarines either, sir. So this the US Military, as I mentioned, nobody better in the world at mapping networks, identifying who's connected to who inside terrorist organizations. It's just the media is used to hearing that when it pertains to Afghanistan and Iraq and ISIS and Al Qaeda. But if you reframe how you understand the world in our own hemisphere, that's exactly what these foreign terrorist organizations are. And so we will track them, we will map them, we will network them, and we will hunt them and kill them because they're trying to, and they are killing and poisoning the American people. And inside that, we have all the license necessary, all the authorities necessary to take these kinetic strikes, and we'll continue to take them.
Donald Trump
And we've been, you know, just to add, because I think it's important, we've been capturing them for years. You know, it's not like, gee, let's capture one. We've been doing that for years. For 25 years we've been doing it not at a level like we're doing it now. I mean, just with the hits we're hitting, but we have much more intensity than any administration's ever had. But we've been capturing these boats for years, and they get back into the system and they do it again and again and again. And they don't fear that. They have no fear. The thing I can tell you right now, it's very hard to find any floating vessel right now on the Pacific or on the, in the Gulf. And I, Fred, I would like to call it by its official name, the Gulf of America. Another little triumph of, of the Trump administration. I said for years, I said, why aren't we call it, why do we call it the Gulf of Mexico? It's 93%. The shoreline is 93%. I never understood that. So I made that change. I never realized how easy that was going to be other than, I guess, A.P. a.P. Fought us in court and the judge said, but that's the name. And actually they were sort of semi prohibited from even covering us after that. It was pretty amazing. But we have the Gulf of America and there are very few boats, Very, very few boats. Not even Fishing boats. To be honest, I don't want to do that to the fishing industry, but it's been so effective. And our. Our sea drugs, as they call them, they use the term sea drugs. The drugs coming in by sea are. Are like 5% of what they were a year ago, less than 5%. So now they're coming in by land, and even the land is concerned because I told them that's going to be next. You know, the land is going to be next. And we may go to the Senate, we may, you know, Congress and tell them about it, but I can't imagine they'd have any problem with it. I think, in fact, while we're here, I think it's a good idea, Pete, you go to Congress, you tell them about it. What are they going to do? Say, gee, we don't want to stop drugs pouring in. They're killing 300,000 people a year. I think that's the real number. 300,000 people a year. So between that and my discussion with President Xi, I think we're. We have never made progress like we've made. The c. Drugs are almost dead, and they can't come in that fast from the land, and the land drugs are much more dangerous for them. It's going to be much more dangerous. You'll be seeing that soon. So that's the way it is. Yeah, go ahead, please. Yeah, go ahead, please, with the glasses. Go ahead.
Eric Bolling
Thank you. Mr. President, I wanted to ask, what's your reaction to Representative Dan Goldman calling on NYPD to arrest ICE agents who he says are acting illegally? He says they are illegally assaulting people and illegally detaining people at immigration courts in New York.
Donald Trump
Well, you know, I know Dan, and Dan's a loser. You understand? He's. He's a guy that doesn't have what it takes. He's been trying so hard, and they're exhausted. I mean, it's so ridiculous, right? A suggestion like that. So, you know, they're just trying so hard, and it's not working. They've even now started imitating me, of all people. They want to imitate me, and they start using foul language, but they use too much of it. You know, you can't use the F word seven times in one sentence. It doesn't work. It might work once every seven news conferences, but you can't do it. You can't do it seven times in one sentence. So I don't know. They're. They're. They're really. They're in big trouble, that party. Go ahead.
Eric Bolling
Some Alleged. Some alleged smugglers have survived some of these recent strikes and been sent back to their home country. If they're terrorists, why not just arrest and detain them?
Donald Trump
Go ahead.
Eric Bolling
Two points on that. First, when I served In Iraq in 2005 and 2006, we used to, in sort of a gallows humor way, talk about the Iraqi catch and release program. The reality that we would catch a lot of people, hand them over, and then they would be recycled back through and we'd have to recapture them or attack them again. And that's why changing the dynamic and actually taking kinetic strikes on these boats ought change the psychology of these foreign terrorist organizations. To those two that were. That survived the shot on the semi submersible, It's. Think again. Compared to Iraq and Afghanistan, the vast majority of people that we captured on the battlefield, we handed over to the home country. Did we always like how it shaped out? Sometimes we did, sometimes we did not. But 99% would go to the Afghan authorities or the Iraqi authorities. So in this case, those two, they were treated by American medics and hand it immediately over to their countries where they came from, hopefully to face prosecution, which is a very standard way of handling something like this. And you'll do that with future survivors. We've got protocol of how we'll handle it.
Donald Trump
That guy, he's so hopeless. Go ahead. Go ahead. Yesterday there was a vote at the Nisset on annexing the West Bank. Do you see it as a challenge to your peace efforts? Could you say that louder, please? Yes. Yesterday there was a vote at the Knesset in Israel on annexing the West Bank.
Eric Bolling
Do you see it as a challenge to your peace efforts?
Donald Trump
Will you answer that, please, because I cannot understand the words you say. Where are you? Where are you from? Where are you from? You're from France. Beautiful accent, but we can't understand what you're saying. She said a vote at the can.
Eric Bolling
Asset on the West Bank.
Donald Trump
The west bank is. Don't worry about the West Bank. Israel is not going to do anything with the West Bank. Okay. Don't worry about it. Is that your question? They're not going to do anything with the West Bank. Don't worry about it. Israel is doing very well. They're not going to do anything with it. Yeah.
Eric Bolling
Thank you. President Trump, are there any safeguards in place to protect Americans from fentanyl and cartels when you leave office in 2028? Any protocols that could be put in place in case a administration comes in that wants open borders?
Donald Trump
And I also have a question. For the Secretary of War as well, after your answer. Well, the biggest thing we can do is make sure they don't come in because open borders, it's. They would destroy. It's amazing that our country is even surviving with what we went through, coming in by the millions and coming in from the wrong places. You know, I know all these people that run these countries, and they're smart, they're very street smart. And they're not sending their best. You know, they're not sending. They're taking them out of their prisons and their mental institutions, as I say over and over again. They're the drug dealers, they're the drug addicts. They're people that don't work. I mean, the best of them are people that don't work. They don't work. They're on welfare. Their form of welfare, which is tiny. You know what their form of welfare, they give you a piece of paper. They give you nothing. But they want people that work. They don't let those people come out because they want those people. You know, they cherish those people. Those are the people that make their country run. They give us all of the people that don't work and are murderers. 11,843 murderers came in. 11,800. Many of them committed more than 50% committed more than one murder. Now, why do we want them? Why would Biden and that group of thugs that he had working for him, why would they accept these people? Why would he accept. Nobody understands it. You know, they say maybe they wanted the vote, but I did great with the Hispanic vote. But these are people from all over the world. Why would they do it? So one question. No matter what I do, I can't. You always like to know the opponent. You have an opponent. What are they getting at? And usually you can. Why would they allow 20 million, maybe 25 million people into this country, almost all of which, but most of which should not have been allowed into our country? It's one of the great enigmas. What they've done to this country should never be forgotten. And history should never, ever be forgotten. And now it looks like we're going to have a Communist mayor in New York. That will be a lot of fun. But remember this, they have to go through the White House. Yeah, Please, go ahead.
Eric Bolling
Today you pardoned the founder of Binance. Can you explain why you chose to pardon him? And did it have anything to do with his involvement?
Donald Trump
In which one was that?
Eric Bolling
The founder of Binance.
Donald Trump
He has involvement in Europe. The recent one. Yes. The. I believe we're talking about the same. Because I do pardon a lot of people I don't know. He was recommended by a lot of people. A lot of people say that. Are you talking about the crypto person? A lot of people say that he wasn't guilty of anything. He served four months in jail, and they say that he was not guilty of anything that. What he did. Well, you don't know much about crypto. You know nothing about. You know nothing about nothing. You fake news. But let me just tell you that he was somebody that, as I was told, I don't know him. I don't believe I've ever met him. But I've been told by a lot of support. He had a lot of support. And they said that what he did is not even a crime. It wasn't a crime that he was persecuted by the Biden administration. And so I gave him a part at the request of a lot of very good people. Yeah, please. Yes, President. Thank you so much. This is the kind of question I like.
Eric Bolling
The numbers from this task force are jaw dropping. I wanted to know this question for you and both, Stephen, since said, this is your brainchild. What are the lessons to be learned from the success of the task force?
Donald Trump
And.
Eric Bolling
And what are your continued goals with this task force now that you have about three years left?
Donald Trump
Well, the best thing we have going is we have such talent around this tab. I could go over every one of these men and women, and we have unbelievable talent. They've got the naturals, you know, like somebody that hits a baseball or a golf ball or, you know, that you see more. It's more evident. It's beautiful because it's sports. You can tell somebody right away, are they good or are they not? These people, the most talented people at what they do. And when we started talking about this, Stephen, and all of us, it was. It seemed so easy. What is surprising to me is how quickly we can straighten out a large city, a big city, a mean city, a city that's sick, that got very sick, with guns all over the place, with bullets shooting all over where you. I mean, you take your life in your hands. If you go out and buy a loaf of bread. That's not America. That's not our country. And those people don't care how you do it. They just want it done. They really do. You know, when you go to the people on the street, they're not. They don't know, is it National Guard. They just want it done. They want to be safe. And we've gained A great following of Americans, real Americans, people that want to be safe. But I think the biggest thing we say is we have tremendous talent. We were able to recognize, like a football team, like a baseball team. We were able to recognize the talent. And the talent is largely in this room. For the whole country. It's largely in this room. There's really nothing like it. And that's why in. I think we had DC Done, not perfectly, but pretty much done, at least normalized in 12 days. When you say 12, would you say 12 days? On the 12th day, it felt different. And then. And, you know, we took a lot of bad people out, never, never to come back again, then most of them never to come back again. But there's great talent, and there's also great courage. It's. You know, it's. I've been watching what goes on, and then you have the radical left lunatics, and what's that all about? I mean, they're fighting us because we want to stop crime. Where do these people come from? They're paid money, I guess. They're paid a lot of money. But, like, I saw that ridiculous march the other day. I say these people are not representative of our country, and not all of them, of course, but many of them are total lowlifes. These are low lives. These are people that are paid agitators, and they're not representative of our country. So I don't know. I can just tell you that our country has tremendous spirit right now. You know that better than anybody because you cover it well. But we have a lot of people that are very happy right now with the direction. They did a poll the other day. The direction of our country is better than it's been in 37 years. And I'm upset because I think it's. It should be better than that. I actually said we should be better than that. So, you know, thank you very much for your question. Brian. Brian.
Eric Bolling
Mr. President.
Donald Trump
Yes, thank you, Mr. President. You guys have done an amazing job. Admitted some of those numbers are staggering.
Eric Bolling
And we've gotten message on social media wanting to thank you for that.
Donald Trump
But I think.
Eric Bolling
Can you talk about the number of.
Donald Trump
Missing children you guys have discovered in Memphis? That's amazing. Well, it's. Hundreds of thousands were lost through Biden and the Biden administration, and we are getting a lot of them back, but they're either dead, they're slaves, they're captured in some form. But think of it, hundreds of thousands we're talking about not even believable. And they came in through the border they were sold, they were bargained for. And this was all Biden, meaning Biden and Obama. The same, you know, the same mentality. Frankly, I think it's the same mentality. Let me tell you. Barack Hussein Obama was a lousy president. A lot of bad things happened. Remember when they used to talk about Trump with the jail cells? Well, he built the jail cells for the children. He built those jail cells. Remember that came out. But, sir, they were built in 2014. You remember when that came out after me going through that stuff for about two weeks, and then they found out it was Barack Obama that built those jail cells? No, these people are. They were bad leaders. I hope. I hope we don't have it again. I hope we don't have it again because, you know, our country has come back a long way, but it can only withstand so much, and we don't want to ever go through that again. We never want to have open borders again. We don't want to have. We don't want to have men playing in women's sports. We don't want to have transgender for everybody. We don't want that. We want to have a great country with low interest rates, nice housing, great education, a strong military. The basics. Yes, please. Thank you, Mr. President.
Eric Bolling
Thank you, Mr. President.
Donald Trump
In last night's New York City Myoral debate, Zorran Mamdani said he would close.
Eric Bolling
Rikers island if elected.
Donald Trump
What kind of impact would that have on public safety? Well, it's not good, I guess. It's not a very nice place, but you need it. You know, you need. You need something. You have a lot of additional people in New York City that should not have been here. They came here through the open border, through Biden's. You know, I don't know how they even do it. New York City has always been tight for money. And then they spend, you know, $8 billion and nobody complains about it on people that just showed up and they just came out of nowhere. Where did they get the money? All of a sudden, they have money. I tell you what, we have to keep our prisons very fair and very safe. But you get a lot of criminals. We have a lot of additional criminals. I used to talk about it. They used to say, well, only good people come in from foreign countries. I said, that's not right. I didn't know that for a fact, but it had just started, right? The open borders and people flowing in, people by the millions. They make our criminals look like the nicest people on Earth. That's the only good Thing. They make our criminals look like nice people. They are the meanest, the most vicious trend. You don't get any sicker. They cut people's fingers off because they called the cop. Did you call the cop? Yes. They cut off his finger so he can't call the cop anymore. And then they say, next time we're going to cut off your hand, if you could. Because they took over his apartment in Colorado, you know, Colorado. They took over a town, then they took over another town. And you have a weak governor over there. He doesn't know what the hell he's doing, so he lets it go on. But we're getting them out of here. We're getting them all out. They're going back to lots of. Not just Venezuela. They're going back to lots of countries. Venezuela would be one, however. Yeah, please. Thank you, Mr. President.
Eric Bolling
Thank you, Mr. President.
Donald Trump
Yeah.
Eric Bolling
A moment ago you said that if Secretary Hexath went to Congress and briefed them on the operation.
Donald Trump
No, we will go. You will go, and we will go. For them to object, I don't see any loss in going. No reason not to. You know, they'll always complain, oh, we should have gone. So we're going to definitely. I'd like to just tell you, let's go. We'll go and we're going to tell them what we're going to do. And I think they're going to probably like it, except for the radical left lunatics.
Eric Bolling
And, Mr. President, if you are declaring war against the. These cartels, and Congress is likely to approve of that process, why not just ask for a declaration of war?
Donald Trump
Well, I don't think we're going to necessarily ask for a declaration of war. I think we're just going to kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. Okay. We're going to kill them. You know, they're going to be, like, dead. Okay.
Eric Bolling
Yeah.
Donald Trump
Yes. Red hair.
Eric Bolling
Thank you.
Donald Trump
Beautiful red hair.
Eric Bolling
Thank you. I'll tell my hairdresser that. She'll love it. This is a question for both you and the secretary of war, Mr. Hegseth.
Donald Trump
Who are you with?
Eric Bolling
I'm with the Center Square. We're a news wire service with everything that's going on between the narco terrorists and the Caribbean, and then also with more Chinese, Iranian, Russian ships also taking part in Venezuela. Do you. Are you have any plans of expanding operations out of Roosevelt Roads, in fact, placing some home, porting some ships there?
Donald Trump
Yeah.
Eric Bolling
We'Re familiar with the location that you're referring to, and we will make sure that we're properly displaced in order to deal with the contingency we're dealing with there. And also any ways in which other countries would attempt to be involved also. So we can walk and chew gum. We're definitely keeping our eyes on near peer adversaries at the same time. But we think sending a message on these cartels, these narco terrorists, is an important, important inside our hemisphere, which for far too long other presidents, as the president pointed out, they've ignored our own backyard and allowed other countries to increase their influence here, which only threatens the American people. We're changing that basis.
Donald Trump
One big thing that has happened though, because you mentioned expansion and expand our efforts. So when I was running for office second term, everybody was talking about the fact that nobody wanted to join the military. Nobody wanted to join the great police force. You know, they didn't want to join New York's finest or any of our police forces. They didn't want to join anything having to do almost like with the country with the uniform. We are setting records with the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Space Force, Coast Guard, we're setting records. We've never had anything like it. And I'll tell you, when it started November 5, we didn't even have to wait till January 20. They saw Spirit. And now we have people coming in that are. It's unbelievable. And if we wanted to increase our military force, if we wanted to increase any one of these, including police forces, they can now get men. People didn't want to be policemen and women. They didn't want to be fire men and women. They didn't want to go into the military. We were having tremendous recruiting problems. And now we're setting records. We literally. Last year at this time, you were doing stories that the recruitment was a disaster. We couldn't get men and women to go into the military. Now we have such an overabundance we've never had. I mean, it's as I understand it, it's like record setting recruitment. This is in less than a year. It's been amazing. So this is a good time to expand if we want to do it. And I think we should. I think we should. And we probably will. Yeah, please. Yeah. Blue, Blue, Couple questions for you.
Eric Bolling
First for you and Secretary Hegseth, is the administration supportive of sending National Guardsmen to cities for the express purpose of aiding deportation and immigration enforcement efforts? To expand deportation efforts, Sending national guardsmen to U.S. cities for the express purpose of aiding deportation and immigration enforcement? What we've done so far is stand alongside federal law Enforcement in every way, facilities and personnel. But also we have a great deal of lift inside the military. We're able to move assets in a way that no other aspect of the US Government can. And so where we can rapidly assist with mass deportations, we have been happy to do that. And then one more question, if I may. Is the administration at all supportive of potential measures to crack down or regulate or even ban apps that track ICE agents locations?
Donald Trump
What do you mean by that?
Eric Bolling
Like specific apps that are used to track the location of ice age?
Donald Trump
I guess we'll do that. I'm not a big app guy. I'm not into that too much. I think Pam might be at Cisco. Yes, good answer there.
Eric Bolling
Yes. These organizations, President Trump, are coming in and they're apps to track our federal law enforcement officers and it jeopardizes their lives, where they're going to be, their location. And we've actually been working really well with the tech companies who have been cooperating because they don't want our law enforcement officers to get injured. So.
Donald Trump
Yes, well, I mean, I see it with ice, where they're having, you know, where they define where they live, who they are. And, you know, I wasn't, I didn't take, I didn't have a big view on the mask, but I now understand why they should wear masks. I think it's very dangerous for them not to wear masks. They can do whatever they want. I notice some do it and some don't, but it's pretty dangerous. But when you look at, you know, you talk about that question, I think it's very dangerous and I think you're coming down on that very hard. Right?
Eric Bolling
Yeah. Please, sir.
Donald Trump
Mr. President, go ahead.
Eric Bolling
Thank you, sir. When, when you were running for re election in 2024, you released a video statement where you did this, you made this exact promise to show no mercy on the cartels and employ every military asset necessary to combat them. In that same video, you also said that you plan to expose all the bribes and corruptions with politicians and the cartels doing that.
Donald Trump
Yeah, we're trying to do that, looking.
Eric Bolling
Into that in American politicians. Yeah.
Donald Trump
Where the money's coming from. Because you see it like even that garbage deal they had this weekend, which was embarrassing to them, and the crowds were much more. The crowds were not big. Those crowds were not big at all. But when you look at signs and they're all made beautifully, the yellow signs, I saw the yellows, the blues. But they're all made professionally in a printing shop, looks like on Madison Avenue someplace. Some guy is paying for all that stuff. And we don't mind. Protest. Protest is a good thing. I protest. I'm always protesting. Right. But. But when you see some of these people, these people are going crazy, that they're going crazy because they're getting paid, because there's no reason for them to be going crazy. But you watch some of them, and they're professional agitators, and we are finding out who's paying them. Yeah, we. We have a lot of information about who they are. You're going to be very surprised when you find out.
Eric Bolling
I have a question for Secretary Hegseth. Sir. A memo circulating on social media details the establishment of a National Guard response force that's going to be trained in crowd control and civil unrest and deployed in all 50 states by April of 2026. Can you verify the authenticity of that memo and do you have any more information on the operations? I'm not going to answer particulars on something that may be in the planning process, but we definitely do have multiple layers of National Guard response forces, whether it's in each state, whether it's regionally, whether it's Title 10 active duty, whether it's Washington, D.C. we've got a lot of different ways that constitutionally and legally we can employ Title 10 and Title 32 forces, and we will do so when necessary. Thank you. President. President Putin basically said today that Russia is immune from US Sanctions. He said that it would not impact the Russian economy in any serious way. Is he.
Donald Trump
I'm glad he feels that way. That's good. I'll let you know about it in six months from now. Okay. Let's see. Let's see how it all works out. Yeah, go ahead, please. Blu.
Eric Bolling
One question about the task force, one about the shutdown. I'm Taylor Poplars with Spectrum News. The same day you established this task force back on January 20th was the same day you pardoned the January six defendants.
Donald Trump
Yeah, just very proud of that.
Eric Bolling
Just last weekend, one of them was charged with allegedly threatening to kill House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. And a big theme of this task force has been allowing law enforcement to do their job and holding accountable people who go after law enforcement. Do you worry that your actions back on day one undermine what this task force is trying to accomplish?
Donald Trump
No. You have thousands of people that we're dealing with, and, you know, if one goes haywire. Look at. Look at what this guy in Virginia said where he wanted to kill his opponent. He's going to kill his opponent. He's going to Kill his opponent's children. And I think wife. And he continues to run, and the Democrats continue. He's running for what? Attorney general in Virginia. Look what he said. So now do you think all Democrats should be prohibited from living anymore? I mean, think of what he said. He's going to kill his opponent, and he's going to kill the children of his opponent. And I think the wife. I said, this guy's sick. That is a sick guy. And how do you vote for somebody like that? But I don't view that. Every Democrat would say that because not every Democrat would say that. So you can't. You know, you could have one person, but I don't. I don't know of the incident. I can say we're very proud of what we did. We had the courage to do something that should have been done. The problem, sometimes the Republicans are too nice. They're a very nice party. The Democrats play a much dirtier fight. You know, it's amazing. You go after dirty cops like Comey, and you go after. These are dirty cops. Letitia James is a dirty cop. You go after these people and they say how horrible you are. And yet I got indicted five times and impeached twice. Nobody says anything about that. You know, they say, oh, they actually said the other day, oh, he's trying to indict somebody. I got indicted four or five times, Todd. Maybe more than that. Yeah, I think you could say 87 times if you really think about it. Right. With the 80, with the charges, a bunch of phony guys. But nobody says anything about that. But they mentioned it the other way. No, the Democrats play a very dirty game. It's all they're good at. They're good at a couple of things. Cheating on elections and playing very dirty. And they have one good trait. They stick together. They stick together. They stick together through the worst policies that anybody's ever seen. It's unbelievable how they stick together. And I. I respect them for sticking together, but it's a dead party because their policies are no good. Okay, Right. So we'll do a few more and we'll go home.
Eric Bolling
Wonderful. Speak.
Donald Trump
Everybody's going to go home. I'm going back to the Oval Office.
Eric Bolling
However, speaking of Democrats, there's a report.
Donald Trump
That there's a grand jury on Adam.
Eric Bolling
Schiff for apparent mortgage fraud. If he is indicted, should he step.
Donald Trump
Down as a U.S. senator? Well, you know, I'm not going to comment on that. I would just say Adam Schiff is one of the lowest forms of scum I've Ever dealt with in politics. He's a horrible human being, very dishonest person. I have no idea what's going on. You tell me that he's going to be indicted. I don't know. You could ask Pam. I don't know if she's. She could say it, probably. You are allowed to say it, but I wouldn't know about that. I can only tell you he's a very. He's a very bad. I think he's actually a sick person. Do you want to talk about that? We're not going to comment on any.
Eric Bolling
Grand jury that's open. We can't. Legally.
Donald Trump
I don't know, by the way, I hope it's true, but I don't know anything about it. Yeah, please. Or millions of dollars. Yeah, well, I also give, you know, I give a lot of money to the White House. The White House is, as you know, I give my salary and I usually like to steer it to the White House because this house was a little bit abandoned. First of all, for four years, you had a guy walking around that didn't know where the hell he was. And this. This house was not taken care of the way it was supposed to be. I take very good care of property. I was very good at that. And you'll notice the floors downstairs. I paid for them. Marble. The most beautiful marble you've ever seen. The white floors down in the Palm Room, which were. They look like they came out of. I don't want to lose, because they're big supporters of mine, Home Depot. So I'm not going to say bad, but they did come out of a box from Home Depot about 30 years ago. They were all broken, but now they have the most beautiful floors, the most beautiful lights and chandeliers. I think most of you. Brian, you've seen that, right? Yes. How beautiful is that? And I take care of it. So I spend millions of dollars on this building taking care of it. It was not properly maintained. And now it's starting to gleam like it should. It should really gleam. And you should go down and visit the Presidential Walk of Fame. Have you seen it? It's quite. Quite good. I'm sure that a lot of people coming to the White House, it's hot. It's very hot. But it's really a tribute to the President's past presidents of our country. Yeah.
Eric Bolling
Mr. President.
Donald Trump
Yeah. Behind you, please. Yeah, go ahead.
Eric Bolling
Thank you. So on Monday. Question for you, as well as Secretary Noem on Monday, Mayor Karen Bass, Valet. And Representative Robert Garcia, they held a press conference and they called for an investigation into dhs, accusing them of unlawfully arresting US Citizens and racially profiling and only arresting people because, in Robert Garcia's words, they look like me. He's a Hispanic individual. Do. Do you have a response to that?
Donald Trump
Are you asking me that question?
Eric Bolling
You as well as secretary.
Donald Trump
They are arresting bad criminals, and they're really good at it, too. I look at the numbers. You know, they always like to say that, oh, you're arresting this and that. Then when you check it, you find out, geez, almost every single time. And, you know, obviously every once in a while, they may get one wrong, but they always correct it. They're able to correct it, but they are arresting really bad people. They're arresting people that kill people that would cut your throat and not even care about it. These are brave people, and it's very dangerous. And if they go even a little bit too far, they get into trouble, you know, which is a shame. I protect them, but they get into trouble. But they're arresting very serious criminals, and they're getting them out of here. Okay, one or two more. Doug, do you have a question? I'd love to have Doug have a question. Our great photographer, because he's such a great guy, and he might be the most talented person over there.
Eric Bolling
I don't know.
Donald Trump
Go ahead. Let's hear your question. This is. This guy's a real beauty.
Eric Bolling
On the cartel strategy, hearing you talk about it as a war, hearing Secretary Hegset talk about defeating and destroying and the comparisons to ISIS and Al Qaeda. Those efforts took American troops being engaged in foreign countries. Do you think that's ultimately where this is headed with the court? The cartels having American troops in countries.
Donald Trump
Like Venezuela, Cartels are very bad. They. A lot of bad people. People coming in, they were interviewed recently, and they were asking people what their problem was. And one guy said, yes, I was. I'm up for murder. Didn't know what he was saying, obviously. You know, I'm sure his lawyer was not thrilled with his statement, but, no, they're rough. People coming into those cartels. Those cartels are rough. You look at what happens. The trip up. The trip up is horrible, especially for women. They're being killed. They're being raped at levels that nobody thought even possible. In my opening speech, I mentioned that, but in a very light way. I mentioned the word rape. Then it found out that you take a look at what happens at those cartels. It's horrible what's going on. And we're doing the world a Big service by just telling them, you know, they're not. You don't have too many cartels now because they know when they get up here, they're going to be stopped. Under Biden, they were just flowing into the country. It didn't matter what you were, where you came from, what you look like, what your record. They didn't check records. Millions of people came into this country that should not be in our country right now. We've gotten a lot of them out. It's the single biggest problem that we were given. Inflation, I've already taken care of. Economically, the country is the strongest it's ever been. Thank God for tariffs. If we didn't have tariffs, we'd be a third world nation, but thank God for tariffs. We're the richest nation in the world now because of tariffs, and we're able to economically protect ourself and we're able to really protect ourselves from a national security, you know, situation. But we have cartels that, you know, somebody came up with the word cartel. I won't tell you who that person was. But you got a lot of bad people in the cartels. And you could look at a country like Mexico, and I really respect the president. I really respect a lot of the people over there, but a lot of the leadership, but they are in fear in their own country because those cartels are running those countries, okay? And that includes Colombia. Colombia is a drug den. It's a drug den, and it has been for a long time. You got a lousy leader over there right now. Bad guy, a thug. But they make cocaine at levels that we've never seen before, and they sell it back into this. And they're not going to get away with it much longer. We're not going to. We're not going to put up with it much longer. Colombia is very bad. Mexico is run by the cartels. I have great respect for the president. A woman that I think is a tremendous woman. She's a very brave woman. But Mexico is run by the cartels, and we have to defend ourselves from that. Go ahead. Let's go with you. Go ahead. Let's listen to this beauty.
Eric Bolling
Do you expect a resolution on the.
Donald Trump
Government shutdown by the time you return from your trip to Asia? Do I expect to have it resolved by the time I reserve? I don't know. I said long ago we shouldn't have been in this problem. This was September 28th. It came due in Biden's regime and before the election, September 28, and they pushed it off into the future. And I was running when they did that and when you're running, you know, but I did say, what the hell are they doing? That and debt ceiling, you know, they also pushed the debt ceiling past the election date. So that would mean the next president has it. But I did say that I think the Democrats have gone totally crazy and you don't know what they're going to do because they don't care about the people. They don't. I really think they have no leadership. They have a lot of very low IQ people. Jasmine Crockett is a low IQ person. A lot of them are, I don't want to insult too many of them, but a lot of them are, they have no, they have no rudder. I don't think they know what they're doing right now. You know, they've never done this before. They always agreed to go and, you know, called an extension, let's do an extension and talk. Even today. Look at what happened today. They wouldn't even, they don't want to pay the people that have worked. And you know, this was supposed to be sort of, this was a test and they wouldn't pay the people that have been working. They said, no, no, we don't want to pay them. This is all the Democrats now. All we need is five Democrats. And I know a lot of Democrats that are saying there are more than five, not, probably not that many more than five. But there are more than five. And all we need is like five Democrat votes. So we're reopening our country again. Sad though. We have the greatest economy in our history. We have the highest stock market. All these things are rocking. We have, we will have by the end of my first year, more than $20 trillion of investment. The all time record is 3, 3 trillion. I think it's China. We're going to have 20 or 21 trillion dollars. We've never had anything like it coming in because of tariffs, the money pouring into our country, the plants that are opening, AI, automotives, everything. And the Democrats want to close our country. They're really, you know, they say deranged. They are, they suffer. I guess it's Trump derangement syndrome, which I think is going down now as an official condition by the doctors. I think they get paid extra money if they handle it because it's more difficult to handle than a normal mental disease. But, but you know what? They, they really should approve an extension, get the country back to work, get the people paid. And you know, it's very simple. You can't, you Just don't know what's going on. There's something wrong with them. You know, it's sad, actually.
Eric Bolling
The full 300 million needed to fund your. Have you raised the full 300 million needed to fund your ballroom? And how much specifically are you donating to this construction?
Donald Trump
I think $350 million. All, all donor money and money that we put up, we've raised. It's going to be. It's going to cost right in the neighborhood of 300 million. It's been expanded and made. Absolutely. It'll be the most beautiful ballroom anywhere in the world, I think.
Eric Bolling
And how much does this specifically. Are you donated to it personally?
Donald Trump
How much am I donating? I won't be able to tell you until I finish, but I'll donate whatever's needed, I'll tell you that. Do I have a name for the. I won't get into that now. Yeah, go ahead.
Eric Bolling
Please follow up on the shutdown in the next couple days. A lot of Americans are going to go without their first full paychecks.
Donald Trump
Federal workers. By the way, a man, a friend of mine, talking about donors, a friend of mine, a man. That's great. I'm not going to use his name unless he lets me do it. Susie can tell you about this, but he was, he called us the other day and he said, I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrat shutdown. I'd like to contribute personally contribute any shortfall you have with the military, because I love the military and I love the country. And any shortfall. If there's a shortfall, I'll contribute it. And today he sent us a check for $130 million. Can you share who that is? I would love to tell you. He deserves, he doesn't really want the recognition, if you want to know the truth, but he gave us a check for $130 million, and that's going to go to the military, which was sort of a shortfall. Yeah. And that's going to go to the military. Yeah. Is that the correct number? $130 million. That's what I call a patriot. Okay, thank you very much, everybody. Thank you. Thank you.
Eric Bolling
All right, guys, that was President Trump, and he was talking about the. He had Pam Bondi there, he had Cash Patel there, he had Pete Hegseth, Secretary of War. They're talking about, you know, the drug, the narco terrorists and how he's treating. And obviously, the questions came in fast and furious. I'll tell you what, we're going to take a quick break and we're going to come back to you in two and a half minutes. Let's be real. Life happens, kids spill, pets shed and accidents are inevitable.

When I told people I was making a podcast about Benghazi, nine times out of ten they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked why Benghazi?
Donald Trump
The truth became a web of lies.
Eric Bolling
It's almost a dirty word, one that connotes conspiracy theory.
Donald Trump
Will we ever get the truth about the Benghazi massacre?
Eric Bolling
Bad faith, political warfare and frankly, bullshit. We kill the ambassador just to cover something up. You put two and two together. Was it an overblown distraction or a sinister conspiracy? Benghazi is a Rosetta Stone for everything that's been going on for the last 20 years. I'm Leon Neyfak from prologue projects and Pushkin Industries, this is Fiasco Benghazi.
Donald Trump
What difference at this point does it make? Yes, that's right. Lock her up.
Eric Bolling
Listen to Fiasco Benghazi on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, let's bring in my next guest, good friend of mine, former congressman, Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient, folks, the CEO of Trump Media and Technology Group, the chairman of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board. I'm happy to have Devin Nunes right here in studio.
Donald Trump
Thank you us for joining.
Eric Bolling
Joining us. Great to be here. That's exciting. Press conference there.
Donald Trump
Yeah.
Eric Bolling
So tell us, what's your take? So he's, Trump was talking about you, the Secretary of War, Pete Hexet there, he had Pam Bondi there, Attorney General Cash Patel, the FBI, they're all working together really to, to take fentanyl and really deadly drugs off, off our streets. Yeah, that's right. And look, what I love about the President the most is that every, he goes seven days a week and every day he's putting the fake news on their back feet. They can't keep up with him because he's doing multiple events a day, multiple press conferences, and he's driving things forward day by day. And they can't, they can't attack him enough to slow him down as much as they've tried. And I think it's spectacular. I mean, look that the, and it's not like people didn't know that they voted for this. How many times did he get up there in the rallies and say, I'm gonna, if you send fentanyl into this country, I'm going to go after you? He said, for years, I will kill drug dealers. That's right. Point blank. There's, you're right, there's, there's, he said he was going to do it and now no bait Swiss here at all, but he's doing it. He's blowing up ships in the, in the Caribbean. Yeah, yeah. He told you he was going to do it. Not many of those, those submarines have fishing rods in the back. And look, this is, this is how bad the, you know, so I chair the President's Intelligence Board and ask you, what does that mean? What, what is that? It was set up by Eisenhower to actually be outside people that come in and give the president advice. And what, what I find myself mostly doing is adjudicating differences between like the CIA, FBI, doj, dni, working with all of them. You know, it's kind of like my old My, my old role. But Eisenhower set it up originally to try to stop kind of the defense industrial content complex from being built. Didn't work too well. It was last probably really used well during the Reagan administration. And when the President asked me to do this, this won't be a surprise to you. He wants the intelligence agencies, the politicization gone. So that's, so we spent a lot of our time working on that. But as it deals with this fentanyl thing I was going to tell you about in Venezuela, one of the issues that I found when I came back in, because I was out of government, starting up true social Trump media and then coming back in and the intelligence. Well, basically there was no intelligence on Venezuela or Colombia or the drug trafficking. It didn't exist. Can you, can you imagine? We had this free full of people because remember, Venezuela was dumping people. They were coming through the Darien gap, up through Panama. We had God knows how many people came into our country. I mean, 2 million, 10 million, I don't know. But it was a bunch of people, bad people. And can you imagine? President Trump walks in the door, I walk in the door. After being, after, after being out of Congress, you know, you used to get these briefings. They didn't have anything on Venezuela, nothing. So, you know, so the Trump administration had to come in. People, you know, Cash and John, Director Ratcliffe, these guys, CIA and all the, they had to go in and start to figure, okay, what the hell's going on here. And of course what they figured out is, is that this bastard sending in, he's basically working with their cartels, sending drugs, letting them flow into our country, criminals, killing and criminals, and they're all kind of interrelated. But you see it, Eric, you see it every day. I mean, especially when I'm back in California. I mean, it's, we have zombies running around this country. Their lives have been destroyed by these drugs. Congressman, I lost, I lost a child to fentanyl. I'm hyper aware, yes, I of how important that really is. And so hundreds of thousands of American deaths at the hands of fentanyl. And for you, and I guarantee you and people like you, you have, you have no issue with these, these ships, subs, boats are shipping drugs through the Caribbean or in the Pacific. I think it's the right use of our US Military to blow them out of the way. The Secretary of War was very, very adamant and very meticulous describing how they know, they're sure those folks are dead. And it's working. Trump points out it's working very quickly. Only a couple minutes before the end of the show. You were there during a, this nonsense with Russiagate. And I'm speaking specifically of Comey Bolton, now indicted on a multiple count indictment. You know, I'm waiting for Brennan, maybe Ray, maybe the other deep staters. You're part of the Intelligence, the House Intelligence Committee. Tell us about what took so long to indict these folks. Well, that's a long subject, would take a whole show. But here's what I have to say about this right now. They're going to be lucky if they only get indicted for this because the truth like these are crimes, they're real crimes that I would, I would have gotten in trouble for when I was in Congress. I mean anybody would have got in trouble for them. I'm just leaking, you know, the blatantly just leaking classified information like Bolton did, knowing that. I mean, you've seen the clips of him basically going after Trump for having the classified documents on the phony raid at Mar a Lago. But remember what they did to Roger Stone, you know, right down the street, Florida, Steve Colleague Here, they notified CNN. They put, you know, 50 people that invaded his house, took him out, you know, basically in his shorts and T shirt, got him out of bed. That's not happening to these guys. And so there's, there's those crimes that are based, that are, that are crimes that normal people, you know, if you're in the military or intelligence, you get busted for. The larger crime here is the conspiracy that these guys have been on that started with the Russia hoax back in the day to cover up for what Hillary Clinton's emails. That's what that was about. It was a cover up plan to smear Trump and the Republicans for Hillary Clinton's emails because they were afraid that they were going to come out. Started with that and then right across the river, right here, right across the waterway, not too far from us is Mar a Lago and it culminated with them raiding Mar a Lago. That is all one big story done by many of the same people. So they will be damn lucky if they don't get indicted on that because that's what they really should for putting not only the American people weakening us abroad, ruining relationships and making I think it very difficult for us to deal with Putin. Like, I don't think if it wasn't for all this Russian nonsense, Putin probably doesn't invade Ukraine, right? I mean if they just would have kept the dialogue open with him. He's a crazy guy, but kept the dialogue open. So now you got hundreds of thousands if not a million people dead. So these people, not only did they do damage to the American people, do damage to President Trump and his family, to many innocent people. These people need to pay a price or they'll do it again. They'll do it again. So I'm hopeful that there will be a full investigation of everything that happened. I mean, you've already seen some of this stuff with the Jack Smith stuff start to come out. You know, that was, that there was no reason to this. You understand. I think you, your listeners understand this. Reviewers understand this. It's not normal to raid a president's, a former president's home. That happens in third world countries. It should not be happening here in the United States and the first, former first lady's closet and going through his drawers and whatnot. Devin Noon is always great to have you. Truth Social CEO. He's killing it. This guy is. You're killing it with the streaming.

The environment is brash, direct, and combative—President Trump repeats familiar themes of “winning,” “American greatness,” and the existential threat of “open borders.” Rhetoric is laced with mockery of political opponents, a heavy emphasis on law-and-order, and strong claims of progress under Trump’s leadership. Bolling and Nunes echo this tone, particularly in discussing intelligence matters and law enforcement.
This episode gives an unfiltered view of Trump-era policy priorities and the administration's internal narrative on their battle against crime, drugs, and political adversity. For listeners wanting the administration’s mindset on border security, law enforcement, and political opposition entering 2026, this is a definitive, combative snapshot.
