2. Military Revival & Critique of Past Policies
Guest: Mike Sorelli
[01:31]–[12:13]
Restoring Military Pride
- Bolling and Sorelli attribute a spike in military enlistment to “the Trump and Hegseth effect,” suggesting renewed pride and nationalism under new leadership.
- Sorelli credits Secretary Pete Hegseth for bringing back standards and eliminating “social experiments”:

-
Mexican president’s administration criticized for announcing it’s “illegal” to go to war against cartels.

- Quote, Sweeney in interview:
“I think that when I have an issue that I want to speak about, people will hear.” [29:55]
Commentary

5. Climate Change & California Politics
[32:42]–[38:46]

Gavin Newsom’s trip to the global climate conference in Brazil mocked as performative and hypocritical.

“It’s all about taking government money and giving it to researchers and scientists who say the globe is warming.” [35:50]
-
Newsom’s statistics about California’s climate goals and the state’s water mismanagement called into question:

[38:46]–[49:49]
-
Democrats are accused of using the shutdown for leverage against Trump, not actually caring about affected families.
