Real America's Voice – "Bolling!" (September 18, 2025)

Main Theme / Purpose

In this episode, Eric Bolling hosts a forceful, rapid-fire discussion about the fallout from controversial comments made by late-night host Jimmy Kimmel regarding Charlie Kirk’s assassination. The episode delves into the cancellation of Kimmel’s show, the decline of legacy media, the political climate after Kirk’s death, and an emerging conspiracy theory about the assassination itself. Bolling is joined by right-wing personalities Alex Jones (“Mad Dog”) and Steve Bannon for passionate, speculative debate. The show further criticizes Barack Obama’s response to political violence, comments on media hypocrisy, and explores shifting American media consumption.

Market Recap and News Brief

[00:00–01:10]

• The episode opens with Eric Bolling ticking through the day's market results: the Dow and especially the Nasdaq are up following the Fed’s quarter-point interest rate cut. Crypto markets are also strong.
• “Good day in the crypto markets as well. We do this every day because it’s what we do.” (Eric Bolling, 01:11)

Segment 1: The Fallout – Jimmy Kimmel, Ratings, and the Media Collapse

[01:10–10:00]

Kimmel’s Axing: Ratings or Outrage?

• Kimmel’s comments about Kirk’s assassination are played for the audience:
  • “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.” (Jimmy Kimmel, 01:27)
• Bolling invites Alex Jones to weigh in: Is Kimmel’s firing about ratings, or his remarks?
  • “I predicted…all three of the late night hosts are going to be gone…Fox late night has more viewers than all of them combined. They’re just using political excuses to get rid of them.” (Alex Jones, 01:53)
  • Jones claims the shows are “a facade,” run on low viewership and propped up with talking points from the Democratic Party.
  • “At the end of the day, they woke up dead. They were already in the coffin, buried years ago.” (Alex Jones, 03:19)

Corporate & Affiliate Pressure

• Bolling recounts how local ABC affiliates led to Kimmel’s ouster:
  • “This is the first time in my history…that I saw a local push up to the parent ABC and they actually got the results they were looking for…a lot of folks should be on the hot seat nervous about getting canceled.” (Eric Bolling, 04:34)
• Jones agrees, framing it as a business—NOT free speech—decision, but with public outrage as the final straw.

Notable Quotes

• “The final dominoes were the local affiliates saying, we’re getting our phones blown off. The ratings are already low. We’re still carrying these loser shows.” (Alex Jones, 04:59)
• “If they had high ratings and they were controversial, they would be kept on air. But you can’t have high ratings and make fun of an American hero that was murdered.” (Alex Jones, 05:12)
• “Taking a knee…unpopular. The NFL has a right to say, don’t do that.” (Alex Jones, 06:57)

The ‘Political Excuse’ & Media Collapse

• Both hosts challenge the idea that Kirk’s assassination is the real reason for Kimmel’s departure:
  • “Now they’re using Charlie Kirk’s death as a reason to get rid of dead weight programming…In other words, man up and say, you know what? Final straw.” (Eric Bolling, 07:16)
• Jones: “But we know corporate media is dead…Kimmel and Colbert are huge stars, but only as clowns.” (08:03)
• Bolling: “Clowns…in the digital world, clipping stupid comments they make…Back in the day…they poked fun at the President…they had their finger on the pulse of populism.” (Eric Bolling & Alex Jones, 08:32–09:05)

Summary:
Legacy media is collapsing, claim the hosts—cannibalized by poor ratings and held together only by political inertia and talking points from Democratic leadership. The public’s backlash gave ABC the excuse it needed to cull costly, unpopular shows.

Segment 2: Charlie Kirk Assassination – Theories & Evidence

[11:38–18:31]

Introducing the Conspiracy

• Bolling introduces a theory that alleged shooter Tyler Robinson did not act alone:
  • “I have a theory about Charlie Kirk’s assassin…Tyler Robinson couldn’t have acted alone. Here’s why…immediately a 72-year-old guy named Zinn stands up and says, I did it. He creates a diversion…The assassin gets off the roof.” (Eric Bolling, 11:38–12:24)
• Discusses “admissions of guilt”—text messages suggesting premeditation:
  • “How long have you been planning this? And he says a bit over a week. There’s premeditation. Those are all the things you need for slam dunk.” (Eric Bolling, 12:52)

Alex Jones Goes Deeper – ‘Trantifa’, NGOs, and the ‘Cover-up’

• Jones claims to have spoken to state reps and law enforcement, casting blame on “trantifa,” Antifa, NGOs, and even the UN for fomenting the attack:
  • “[We] know that NGOs, Democratic Party and the UN were funding this trantifa antifa … We know six trannies said…Charlie Kirk will be dead tomorrow.” (Alex Jones, 14:00)
  • Jones invokes crowd chants, Discord messages, cat-and-mouse diversions, and other “evidence” of a conspiracy extending beyond a lone shooter.
  • “If the FBI doesn’t go in and raid all those people and expose the obvious conspiracy, then we know there’s a cover up.” (Alex Jones, 15:56)

Notable Quotes

• “You had this zen guy…literally jumping up and saying I killed him…telling police I did it so he’d get away. How did he know to do that?” (Alex Jones, 15:05)
• “If you don’t think elements of the government or the NSA knew about this, this was a big planned event.” (Alex Jones, 15:31)
• “We should be addressing what they’re planning to do and the next attacks that are coming…” (Alex Jones, 22:10)

Summary:
The murder of Charlie Kirk is spun as part of a sweeping, coordinated effort to suppress conservative voices, implicating far-left activists, NGOs, and possibly government agencies. The show explicitly claims a cover-up is underway if all players aren’t investigated and prosecuted.

Segment 3: Who’s to Blame? Media, Israel, or Feds?

[18:31–22:34]

Candace Owens, Accusations, and the Danger of Speculation

• Bolling references Candace Owens’ viral speculations that Israel or the Mossad were involved; says such charges are irresponsible:
  • “We have to be very careful who we point the finger at, unless you just want your reputation to go up in smoke.” (Eric Bolling, 19:37)
• Alex Jones: While debates are healthy, the onus is on groups like Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and certain “Islamicists,” who he claims are openly celebrating Kirk’s death:
  • “We have The Democrats saying kill Charlie Kirk, celebrating his death. These tranny mafias in Antifa killing people all over the place…” (Alex Jones, 19:52)
• On investigations: Bolling asks if high-profile conservatives (Cash Patel, Dan Bongino, Pam Bondi) can get to the “truth.” Jones demurs:
  • “No, I’m not [confident]. If we don’t see raids and investigations of the people that had prior knowledge, then it’s a cover up.” (Alex Jones, 21:12)

Summary:
Speculation abounds, but Bolling and Jones warn against misattributing blame without evidence—even as they single out left-wing groups. There’s a shared skepticism that any official investigation will be honest or effective.

Segment 4: Obama’s Response & Media Hypocrisy

[25:54–32:30]

Obama’s "Tone Deaf" Statement

• Obama’s remarks are played:
  • “My response was not who planned who, who may have influenced this troubled young man to engage in that kind of violence and now let me go after my political opponents and use them.” (Barack Obama, 25:57)
• Bolling lambasts Obama as divisive:
  • “It’s actually disturbing, not just shocking. It’s disturbing how much Obama lied through that interview.” (Eric Bolling, 26:16)
  • “Barack Obama and Black Lives Matter set race relations in this country back hundreds of years…” (Eric Bolling, 28:19)

Americans’ “Not Extreme” Beliefs

• Bolling lists beliefs he claims Obama and the left now demonize: limited government, firearm ownership, border security, binary gender, meritocracy, law and order, free speech.
• “Before Obama, those were almost all moderate positions that almost all Americans routinely agreed with.” (Eric Bolling, 28:35)

Summary:
Bolling frames Obama as the principal villain dividing America and enabling extremism on the left. Traditional “moderate” American values, he claims, are now derided as radical by the former President and his party.

Segment 5: The Kimmel Meltdown – Media & Political Reaction

[34:50–43:23]

Outrage from CNN, Schumer, Democrats

• Clips and responses from Brian Stelter, Jake Tapper, Chuck Schumer, Representative Robert Garcia, and Don Lemon are played, all objecting to the Kimmel cancellation as “an attack on free speech.”
  • “Trump and his allies seem to want to…shut down speech they don’t like…but he has the right to free speech…” (Chuck Schumer, 37:28)
  • “Jimmy Kimmel is a late night host, he’s a comedian…this is a direct attack on free speech.” (Rep. Garcia, 38:40)
  • “They’re killing comedy…the folks who are complaining about canceling people are canceling people.” (Don Lemon, 40:28)
• Bolling and Jones counter that nobody is addressing Kimmel’s “trashing” of Kirk or the factual basis of the outrage.
  • “Garcia…did you mention that Kimmel trashed the memory of Charlie Kirk and blamed MAGA…No. Just trying to do politics, right?” (Eric Bolling, 39:52)

Summary:
The hosts reject left-wing complaints about “cancel culture,” arguing that the true issue is the media’s double standard and disregard for conservative victims.

SEGMENT 6: Steve Bannon on the Affiliate Revolt & MAGA’s Rise

[44:00–49:52]

Bannon’s Analysis of Kimmel’s Firing

• Bannon points to affiliate business pressure, not political censorship, as the cause:
  • “I think it was a business decision from the two big affiliate groups…and that rolled all the way…to Disney.” (Steve Bannon, 45:21)
• Bannon claims a seismic shift: MAGA is now the dominant movement, and advertisers/media must acknowledge the new political landscape.
  • “We won in 24 in a blowout because we brought in Make America Healthy Again. You’ve got Charlie Kirk’s young people…MAGA…has risen to become…the most powerful political movement from scratch in American history.” (Steve Bannon, 46:59)
• Both agree that partisanship has shifted at the local station level:
  • “Now maybe these news directors are getting it from their own audiences. Like, hey, you can’t continue to trash Trump and MAGA because half of us are MAGA.” (Eric Bolling, 46:11)

Security and Political Violence

• Bolling: “Are you protecting yourself?” (Eric Bolling, 47:49)
  • Bannon: “I’ve always had security…Ever since I won the Trump campaign in ‘16…” (Steve Bannon, 48:10)
• Bannon supports Trump’s new designation of “Antifa and … these trans radicals” as a “major terrorist organization.” He likens MAGA’s fight to radical political struggle, pledging not to back down despite threats and violence.
