Really great handoffs. I'm loving the handoffs. I'm loving the handoff with Gruber. All right, roll the animation. Shall we? All right, you ready for the day? Go ahead. Fast company. 30. Whatever the heck that is. All 30 is a fast company, right? Bang bang. You hit it. Great day on on the markets. Broaden Wall Dow up 345 points. Three quarters in the 1%. S. P up strong. Nasdaq did the best, up almost a full percentage point. Good move. We're pushing, pushing back up after that. That little bit of a dip. Gold down a touch. Still over 3, 600. Good news on the oil markets right there. Down almost a buck 63. Ballpark, let me get over the crypto, because crypto has been crazy lately. Not in a good way. Bitcoin 199. We need that 110,000 to hold. Be careful if it gets under that theorem. Had a rough day, but so did XRP and crl. Basically, the whole crypto market, there's some rumor about the feds going in, looking at a couple of big companies that have decided that their whole business plan was going to be centered around cryptocurrency, and they want to know if that's legal. I say once again, get the feds out of our American businesses. And that's why that happened in crypto today. All right, speaking of businesses and good businesses, decision. Remember this commercial very recently caused uproar among the liberal community. The snowflakes went apoplectic when they saw Sydney Sweeney. An American Eagle ad like this.
- [04:05]
A
I'm not here to tell you to.
- [04:06]
B
Buy American Eagle jeans.
- [04:08]
A
And I definitely won't say that they're the most comfortable jeans I've ever worn or that they make your butt look amazing.
- [04:18]
B
Why would I need to do that?
- [04:21]
A
But if you said that you want to buy the jeans, I'm not gonna stop you.
- [04:26]
B
But just so we're clear, this is not me telling you to buy American Eagle jeans. Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.
- [04:33]
A
You see what I did there, right?
- [04:34]
B
Well, Sydney Sweeney has great jeans. And guess what? American Eagle had the best quarter they've had, maybe ever. They certainly said. I'm quoting them. Our partnership with Sydney Sweeney has been our best ad campaign in our history. Up 36% today in the stock, American Eagle Outfitters, a near 900 million jump in market value in one day based on that partnership with Sydney Swee is making liberals absolutely crazy. All right, I'm leaning into our first guest. He's a good friend of mine, geopolitical advisor, strategist. She served as a senior staffer to two Republican members of Congress. Let's bring in Rena Shah because she's also very good on the culture topics, my friend Rena. So American outfillers says we're fine with Sydney. Sweet. We just jumped 36% overnight. Liberals woke culture. Way to go. Woke go broke.
- [05:38]
A
Well, look, Eric, American Eagles Q2 was a home run, right? 45 cents a share when Wall street expected 21, I believe. And a 1.28 billion dollar in sales is not a joke because that topped their 1.24 billion dollar forecast. So that Sydney Sweeney campaign, yeah, you know, it caught a lot of flack there from a lot of people, but it brought in something like 700,000 new customers. And sound of that, cash registers to ching. And then you look at the Travis Kelce collab and that was right after his big engagement news. So total sellout there. And it shows you again that celebrities make cash registers ring no matter what.
- [06:19]
B
And if you're anti woke, you're going to make liberals heads explode. Because Sydney Sweeney followed up, by the way. Her brand is a behemoth. It's on fire. She just put out this Jimmy Choo and we're going to roll a little for you. And left is going crazy. They find something wrong with everything, especially if it looks good. Watch. Okay, Tyler, we're ready for your set. Okay, ready. So.
- [06:51]
A
Tell him Scarlet's busy. Action. And bored. Let's reset. Did we get it?
- [07:20]
B
Serena, I'm let you weigh in because the left is saying it's this. Feminists are saying it dehumanizes women when you use a pretty girl like that in those fashion shots. But I would. Business is saying it's good business and they're going to keep doing it. I got news for them.
- [07:35]
A
I love that ad. I hadn't seen it before. And look, Jimmy Choo is a brand that's not within the reach of a lot of American women, particularly women in my age demographic. We're in the 35 to 45 set. A lot of us have children. We're living in urban areas where the cost of living is tight. But I don't know what was to hate about that ad. It looked like she was kind of in a boardroom being a boss. I mean, isn't that what feminists talk about all the time, about how women should be able to do everything instead of be behind a stove and tend to children? So in essence, I think, you know, look, the culture wars pay off. What I want to look at the business sense of this for a second because shoppers are super choosy. You know, people are super tight with their wallets these days, as I just alluded to. And American Eagle tripped up a bit on their spring style. So I think with this bounce back for the back to school moment they're having is really good you're looking at aerie, their brand there for American Eagle, that's up 3% in comp sales. And then they're betting on really low single digit growth there for the next couple quarters and they're nailing it for what Gen Z and millennials want, which is cool, affordable clothes. Jimmy, I wonder if they're going to have to.
- [08:42]
B
You're hitting on an important point. You talk about the statistics all you want, but has it moved from it was embarrassing or it felt bad to put up an ad like that to now it's aspirational for young people. I think the shift is happening. There's a career advis. Beverly Hills said the most powerful careerist mid in Hollywood, meaning Sydney Sweeney, calling her a mid only because she's so successful. I mean, the jealousy is insane, but it's a liberal mentality. Have they not lost it yet? Have they learned nothing? Reena.
- [09:19]
A
They have not learned that the culture wars pay off. You know the great jeans line with Sweeney, she looks nothing like me. And I still loved it. I thought it was really fun, tongue in cheek. But it really got people talking. And that's the thing about it. Some people called it cheeky, others got mad and even Trump gave it a shout out. So, you know, love it or hate it, it racked up 40 billion impressions, Eric. And sold out jeans. That's the important part. I mean, American Eagle is playing the culture war like a pro and it's turning drama into dollars. Other brands need to follow suit if they want to be successful too.
- [09:54]
B
So let's switch gears a little bit. I love having Sydney Sweeney on the air, on the show because it's a, it's an eyeball magnet. That's why it sells products. That's why it jeans, that's why it sells shoes. You look at the pretty girl, see what she's up to and people want to emulate that. There's a lot going on in Trump world right now. They're very, very much going on. And this is. This one might be a little bit controversial. Rena. So there's some feds are talking about mulling over the idea of a ban on the second amendment, ban on purchasing guns by. By trans people. Again, I will tell you, there are no trans people. There are men and they're women. They're people who are delusional enough to think they've changed their gender, but they haven't. But the feds may talk about doing that. I don't think it's a bad idea. I would say if you're going to keep guns out of the hands of mentally ill people, people who've been institutionalized. Well, why not? Because I believe this trans idea is borderline mental affliction.
- [10:53]
A
No, I got to say, this Hot Topic really feels not just like we're in a cultural moment. It feels like we're in a moment where some people who hold the view transgender individuals don't deserve certain things that the rest of us do. Those of us who feel that way are being made out to feel like we don't believe in equal rights, that we, you know, that we're hate filled people, and that's simply not true. I think not enough is known right now about what transgenderism is in American society. It is a new phenomenon.
- [11:26]
B
Let me. Allow me. I don't mean to cut you off, but allow me. In the state of Florida, you can get a medical marijuana license. You have to apply for it. You have to go to a doctor. You have to say, he has to tell you that, yes, here's your license. You can get it, you can go get medical marijuana, but if you can't turn around, and once you've done that, I don't know if there's a period of time you have to wait until after it expires. But while you have a medical marijuana license for certain issues, you cannot handle a firearm in the state of Florida. And so they equate whatever the affliction is that you need medical marijuana license. I would say the people who have been taking the gender transitioning drugs and everything would be under as much medication as someone who smokes a little weed and wants to own a firearm in Florida.
- [12:14]
A
This is such a tough one, Eric, because so many of us out there believe that transgender individuals need greater access to mental health services so that they don't engage in acts like the shooter in Minnesota just engaged in. I mean, that tragedy.
- [12:30]
B
I just want to be clear. I agree with you. I think they need help, but I don't want them on guns while they're getting help is my point.
- [12:37]
A
I just don't know that we're going to be able to get there. I mean, look how quickly across society, the pronouns have been adopted. Everywhere we go to put in our personal information, whether we're trying to get an airline ticket or buy something, they're asking us for our pronouns. I mean, society is quickly trended to making these people feel like they're full and equal citizens, which is fine. I believe everybody in America is equal. But. But having that be a mainstay part of how we do. Life is so wrong. And I think it's being pushed upon a lot of us and those of us that push back on it, we haven't won. I mean, I'm just seeing it everywhere now, asking my young, very tiny preschool type of going children. And, and I do have one child in preschool. I will say asking them for their pronouns is just flat out wrong, but it's being done in communities across the country. So I don't know at which point the, the tide turns. I don't know how many lawmakers are going to out and say it is absolutely wrong to start to talk about transgender individuals, you know, owning guns in the way the rest of us do. I don't know how that changes. I think the train has already left the station. I'm not hopeful on that one. And, you know, I'm a forever optimist.
- [13:48]
B
You are. But I'm, I'm a common sense guy. And I'm going to say if I can't own a walk around with an open carry license in Florida, if I have a medical marijuana license, I understand. I get that. I, I do. And I'm pretty sure you can't.
- [14:03]
A
You and I do.
- [14:05]
B
I don't think you can get a commercial driver's license if you have a medical marijuana license as well in certain states. And if that's the low level, the bar, which is great, fine. Make the bar very low. It makes it. I got it. But why wouldn't trans people who take these massive, difficult drugs that we're now seeing may affect their mental stability. First of all, they may be unstable in the first place to change their, to want to change their gender. I don't want them having a firearm.
- [14:33]
A
The minute you get doctors on your side doing these gender reassignment surgeries for really young, under age of 18 children, I mean, this is, this is the moment that we're in where common sense has left the room. And we, you and I, see it as common sense because we're trying to play, you know, we're looking at logic here. We're looking at how biologically people are born made and how we operate and function every day in society. The minute you get, again, doctors, teachers, corporate leaders on the side of, of transgender individuals saying that, no, no, everything is all right here. We need to serve them first, put their needs above the needs of society, then it becomes a problem. But I mean, again, we're going to start to see tragedies like the one we just saw in Minnesota. And my heart aches for that. I was I grew up in that community in St. Paul in some ways get a lot of family there and spent a lot of great summers and time there. And I know that Minnesota, and particularly the Twin Cities, that area is hugely accepting of people. It's actually politically quite purple in many way ways. But it has become a moment in which you got to wonder if that community is going to start to ask tough questions in and of itself that how far are we willing to go where one parent is for the surgery, another is not. And then we have an individual that is so troubled and writes his manifesto that very clearly tells us what was at the crux of the issue here, what was at the core of the matter and why they committed such a heinous crime and act. I think we can see.
- [15:58]
B
Who'd have thought I'd bring Rena Shah, the foreign policy expert on to talk about Sydney Sweeney and trans people getting, getting, getting guns. Rena, really good to have you. Appreciate your time. She's, she can cover it all, folks. She's got it all that's in her repertoire.
- [16:13]
A
Thank you, thank you.

Hey there. I'm Mary Kathryn Hamm. And I'm Carol Markowitz. We've been in political media for a long time. Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane. That's why we started Normalely a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity. We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor. We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously. So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass, you're our kind of people. Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen. I don't want to vaccinate my child again.
- [19:48]
B
When you have the paper, just give it to me.
- [19:50]
A
I'll sign it if you need me.
- [19:51]
B
To get my palm. Asked her to sign a document to give you as well for a religious exemption. And I said, well, what law states that there's a certain amount of time.
- [20:01]
A
That you have to see my son.
- [20:03]
B
Between a certain amount of years if my son is completely healthy? And he said, well, there is no law, but I am concerned and if you leave here today without the vaccine and without documentation showing that you your son has been seen, then we're going.
- [20:20]
A
To have to file a 51A report.
- [20:22]
B
Well, that was a look at taken state sanctioned kidnapping which is a new documentary about the co founders of American Made Foundation. Happy to have Ann Vander Steel and Maureen Steele, two good friends of mine, tell us about this, Tell us about this story. You made a documentary about this story. Every parent's worst nightmare. Why don't we start with you, Maureen? Tell us. You know, you contacted me, said this is a very important documentary you put together. What's the story underlying it?
- [20:49]
A
Sure, sure. We followed the Rivera family. It's a family of seven, two parents together for 12 years, five children. And the father Izzy brought his nine month old baby in for a wellness check and refused the vitamin K shot which was refused at birth. That's when it's given. And the Tehran, Iran trained doctor threatened him and said if you don't get this vitamin K shot today, I'm reporting you to CPS and izz the office. And they did. Three days later there was police and CPS knocking on their door wanting to see all five children, you know, just because they refused a vitamin K shot. So this went on for several weeks until the family ended up, you know, escaping to Texas. There was never, they were never served any documents. CPS had never, there was never a court case where the state granted custody to cps. So they went to Texas and cps, Massachusetts basically, you know, committed falsehoods and said that, that they stole their children. I don't know how two parents can steal their own children or how a state that didn't have custody of these kids could make that claim. But they were jailed in Texas for 30 days at $2.5 million bail each, which is just extraordinary. There's murderers and rapists that don't get that kind of.
- [22:04]
B
Just tell me, jailed for what?
- [22:08]
A
Familial kidnapping, Eric. That's what they're calling it.
- [22:11]
B
So parents, are these the biological parents of the child?
- [22:16]
A
Yes, they are.
- [22:17]
B
How in the hell can any state get take biological. This seems absolutely insane to me. Go ahead, let me. You guys finish continue on.
- [22:27]
A
Yeah. So they were held for 30 days. Their children were taken from them. The children saw their parents get held at gunpoint. There was 10 police officers that surrounded their home. The children were flown to Massachusetts. The parents remained in Texas for 30 days, then extradited to Massachusetts where mother Ruth was held on $7,500 bail and father Izzy for 25,000. This has been seven months now. This family is still not reunited. This is egregious. But what's so sad, Eric, is that this isn't a one off. This Isn't an extraordinary story, as extraordinary as it sounds to you? This is happening all over the country, in every state by these family courts and by this corrupt agency.
- [23:06]
B
Was there a any sort of history of drug abuse in the household that could warrant some the reason for Child Protective Services to come in and take the child or children away?
- [23:17]
A
No. Not even a little bit. Eric, this is indicative of what the child protective services industry is all about. They are not about the protection of children and families and reunification, which is what they claim they're trying to do. They're fully all about weaponizing the system so that they can pilfer profit and separate families and keep them in that perpetual state of separation, fear and anxiety which only feeds the system more because they have all these parasitic organizations that are there to support the children with mental health, et cetera, and bill, bill, bill. And of course they constantly provided yet another carrot or a hoop for the family to jump through in the hopes that they're going to be reunified with their children only to have those hopes and dreams dashed when they go back up against this unlawful, unconstitutional bench family court where there is no jury of your peers. There is not even due process. It's speculation, it's hearsay. And the judge is basically judge, jury and executioner and it decides the fate of you and your family. It's completely unconstitutional, unlawful. And in this documentary we prove that due process is violated. And Eric, you know what we're doing with American Made Action, our sister organization? We're filing a massive federal lawsuit immediately after this docu documentary drops. And it's going to not only go after the system, but it's going after naming people involved in the system. Judges, members of law enforcement community, the parasitic organizations that have been weaponized and profiting off the separation of the children. And like Maureen said, this is not a one off. This is happening to millions of families across America today.
- [24:48]
B
It's incredible. I have very, very close experience with this. My, my sister, call her, my sister is actually. My niece has adopted children from crack addicted mothers. She raised those kids. They've had their own babies. Those women sometimes get in trouble too. And it's this. The dfs, the Child Protective Services, cf, cps. Sorry. It's almost like they're working against the children's best interest. The children should be the main focus here. Each one of you a minute or so tell us it's not just Massachusetts or Texas, it's literally every state in the union.
- [25:27]
A
Oh, 100%. And like some of the children's Hospitals, this is what's truly frightening. Have CPS offices in their basement and they look for any excuse to take these children. It's a horrible thing. We've had so many people just recently reach out to us. I mean, hundreds of them, not just a few with horrific stories of, you know, their children getting stolen. And, you know, Mike Pompeo in his trafficking report to the president in 2019 showed that the foster care system is the number one supplier of children into the sex trade industry.
- [26:04]
B
Wow.
- [26:04]
A
And Washington has been about this.
- [26:06]
B
You're hitting on something very important. Go ahead, continue on. You guys, I got about a minute and a half or so, but go ahead and continue on. And then I want to tell the folks where they can watch the documentary.
- [26:15]
A
So essentially what Maureen's talking about is the federal government has known about this for a long time, yet that they continue to feed the system with taxpayer doll through the Social Security Administration, a subset of Health and human services, a $3 trillion funded bureaucracy, SSA. And the title 4e funding is what funds all 50 states, varieties of child protective services. They go under different three letter agencies in every 50 state, but it's being funded by you. The American Taxpayer American Made foundation has taken a very deep and dim view of this. We're looking into the depths of everything. We're getting flooded with information of families under the same crisis. That's why we did this documentary. That's why we're filing our first landmark federal lawsuit, which we believe is a template that we are going to wash, rinse and Repeat in all 50 states until we eradicate CPS and bring the solution of families that are in trouble back into the local community where it belongs.
- [27:05]
B
You guys are shining a light on something very important. Maureen, where's the documentary? Where can folks watch it?
- [27:10]
A
Sure. Dedham, Massachusetts, just outside of Boston at the Legacy theater. Tickets are$25,100 for the VIP tickets so you can meet the family, meet the lawyers that are involved in this Landmark case.
- [27:22]
B
And of course, where can they get tickets? Where can they find you guys on our website? AmericanMadeFoundation.org AmericanMadeFoundation.org Write it down and you.
- [27:30]
A
Can watch it there, too. If you can't get to the theater and you can't come out to meet us and the family, please go to americanmadefoundation.org Sunday night and support these folks.
- [27:39]
B
Bring up really good, great causes. Great American causes. Patriots right there, folks. And Vander Steel, More and Steel. Thank you so much for the story.
- [27:47]
A
Thanks, Eric.

B
All right, all of Washington, D.C. was buzzing last week when Dr. Susan Monarz was forced out as CDC director after her ousting. Other medical bureaucrats followed suit. Apparently she was forced out after disagreeing with RFK Jr. S changes regarding the COVID 19 vaccine. Here to discuss is chief of maternal and prenatal health at the wellness company, Dr. James Thorpe. Dr. Thorpe, I saw RFK Jr. Testifying for four hours today on the Hill to senators and to a T. Almost every single Democrat senator just laid into him, just could not handle whatever RFK Jr. Was serving. What he was serving was trying to break away from Big Pharma, the control that Big Pharma has on the folks. And for some reason, they didn't want to do that. My guess is there's a big money funnel coming from Big Pharma into those election coffers. What are your thoughts on what you saw today? I think it's very disturbing how they are are viciously attacking Bobby, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, with these totally baseless accusations. The fact of the matter is that, yes, our Congress is corrupt. 70% have taken monies from Pfizer. The CDC is ramped, just totally. It's corrupted with many members, as you've seen, that have resigned. These are not model researchers. These are people that should not be in positions of making decisions on vaccines. A lot of them were the same folks who told us we couldn't go to work, we couldn't go to school, we couldn't watch our parents die in the hospitals unless we were vaccinated. And then they also said things like ivermectin and some of the other, you know, I guess experimental for Covid, we didn't know what the heck was going to work for. Covet at the time weren't science. And now we know they're probably more effective than anything that they had us doing, especially wearing masks and social distancing. How hypocritical. I mean, as a doctor, do you. Do you want to turn around and tell these people on Capitol Hill, they're full of, you know. Yes, it's very disturbing when you see the corruption and the lack of transparency and the lack of science and then the hypocrisy of simply Bobby Kennedy saying, look at Pfizer, President Trump saying, look at Pfizer. I want to see all the records, all the data, open it up. And they forget that they are public servants and they serve under Bobby Kennedy. So the least they can do is be transparent. The American people should be in an outrage because of the lack of transparency. You have alternatives to the COVID vaccine with the Wellness Company, don't you? Yeah. I think that what is extremely important here for your viewers is that that even individuals. I've seen a patient just today, I'm busy in a hospital seeing patients, hasn't.

Had her last vaccine four years ago.

B
She's got continued Spike protein levels as measured by the Spike antibody that are sky high. This reflects despite four years her spike protein antibodies are still sky high and causing major issues. So I think that the wellness company ultimate Spike detox has been proven to excel the clearance of this lethal bioweapon, the Spike protein which is causing, we believe the vast majority of problems. I believe as an obstetrician, maternal fetal medicine specialist has, has probably been one of the main contributors to the disasters that we see in pregnancy with a vaccine and even years after the vaccine in pregnancy. Insane. I, you know, very anecdotally in, in 2020, I had to take one shot because I couldn't get into New York where my job was and I never took the second. I'm sorry I took the one. I would much rather have gone to a wellness company, got one of the kits and done something because, because turns out it would be much smarter, much safer for certainly my health. I won't do it again. I will not listen to those SOBs again when they tell me I have to or else just not going to do it. Dr. James Thorpe, appreciate your time. Wellness Company.

Oh, wow. Okay, okay. No age problem. Okay. All right, folks, time to dig into some of the left's madness for the day. Democrats have quickly gone from there's no crime to there is crime and it's all President Trump's fault. This coming from the party that led criminals through our borders and back on our streets for years. Here's Dick Durbin, one of the most useless senators, by the way. Also Illinois liberal as liberal does in America. Watch. It's great when the numbers go down, but people don't walk around saying, I feel 22% safer. What do you think people feel like is happening in Chicago? Well, I tell you one thing, they feel like. They feel like there are too damn many guns in Chicago and they're coming in from other states like Indiana. Federal government want to help us stop this flow of weapons into our city of Chicago and state of Illinois. We know they're coming in from state with lax laws when it comes to firearms and the federal government can do something about it. Hey, Dick, you dumbass. Criminals have guns in Chicago. That's the whole point. It's not hard to get a gun in Chicago. It's hard to get a gun legally in Chicago to protect your own ass. I'm from Chicago. I know this. Stop it. It's not the guns. We need the guns to protect ourselves. Citizens do. Here's CNN proving yet again that they're just an extension of the Democrat Party. Dana Bash, who's one of the prime victims of Trump derangement syndrome over there is now happily pushing the fear mongering theory that won't even, there won't even be elections in 2028.
- [36:12]
A
Governors Gavin Newsom and J.B. pritzker are two closely watched Democrats who may run for president in 2028. Both are increasingly sounding the alarm that a free and fair election may not even happen. Happen.
- [36:27]
B
People actually think this guy's serious about having another election. You think he's joking about 2028? I'm not calm and I'm not going to submit myself to niceties. Not when this guy's trying to wreck our goddamn country. He'd like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim that there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control over Pritzke. What's going on? State of Illinois, I don't know. Almost as bad as California, if you can believe that. So this is their new spin. The media to help cover up for our former dementia in chief, Joe Biden is now going to spin it like there's some kind of COVID up going, going after Trump. Right? A man who, he's at it around the clock. He's texting at 3 and 4 in the morning. I'm sorry, truthing at 3 and 4 in the morning. He plays, plays four rounds of golf over every weekend. He's 79 years old. But the queen of race baiting, joyless Joy Reid, just can't help herself.
- [37:29]
A
The mainstream media will not touch these questions about Donald Trump's obviously declining health. His ankles are the size of watermelons. He, he can barely. They're like elephant legs, you know, they're like elephant straight down. Barely walk down a flight of stairs. And that's not even new. He's, he, he can barely walk up or down st. When Joe Biden was president. I mean, where is Jake Tapp? The mainstream media is so terrified of him. And I don't think it's reverence for the presidency or for him. I think they're scared.
- [38:06]
B
They're all just trying to stay relevant. Right. So Joe Biden is completely degraded where he can't even figure out where he is, but he's absolutely fine. Scarborough says nothing. He's at his peak two weeks before he dropped out of running for reelection. But, but Trump has a bruise on his hand, which a lot of people in their late 70s and 80s do. They use blood thinners to keep it moving. That, that's what happens? You bruise easily. Whatever. And then Joyless Joy reads decides she's a bit too bored in her forced retirement from msnbc. So she pushes the usual leftist rhetoric of what you saw, you didn't actually see about the attempted assassination of President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.
- [38:50]
A
He's got these magical doctors who claim that he was shot in the ear, but his ear, I guess, grew bad. He had a Duplo bandage on one minute, no bandage the next. We can't get a medical record from this alleged assassination. He was supposedly shot. We have nothing. We've got. Where are the investigative records? One day he slapped his maxi pad on his ear. The next day the ear is totally fine. It's fine. And we, and I remember being in mainstream media where we both used to work saying, isn't it odd that we've never asked for his medical records? And I got in trouble for that.

Pfizer Something is happening in the world right now, and it goes far beyond weather or Now JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are offended by the President wanting to help citizens of their respective states, Illinois and California, help them feel safe. Four years of Joe Biden, eight years of Barack Obama. Those 12 years did more damage not just to America, but to the entire world. Bending the knee to Iran, sending them hundreds of billions of dollars to use against us. And Israel, by the way, pushing Putin to invade not once but twice now.
- [42:55]

Now.

Letting China spy on us. Letting China buy our farmland. It goes well beyond tariffs. Make no mistake about it. The new axis of evil is sending a message to America and the Western world. We're here and we're gunning for you. So when Venezuela's finest come gunning for America, threatening our safety and our sovereignty, and our president actually does something about it, that's sending exactly the right message back to not only Venezuela, but back to the world. That's exactly what more than half of this country voted for. Earlier this week, President Trump posted this dramatic video of a speedboat in the Caribbean exploding in a precision US Air strike. Crushed it. Blew it right out of the water, so to speak. The administration says the target was carrying narcotics and the 11 crew who died were part of the Venezuelan gang. Trend date are up, which the US has designated a foreign terrorist organization already. Assuming that's True. Which we believe it is. Great move. So as President Trump's warning, there's more where that came from. Even better move, because that's what we voted for. The usual protocol for such moments would be for the US Coast Guard to stop the suspected drug traffickers, to take themselves onto the boat, seize whatever drugs and whatever they had, whatever needed to be seized, firearms, drugs, drugs, make an arrest or two, and then set a trial date. And if you ask any snowflake how they wish it would have gone down, they would agree with that stupid process. But things have changed. It hasn't worked. Gangs, drug violence, cartels, they're coming in unfettered and unchecked. And let's be honest, Venezuela most certainly doesn't follow protocol. Venezuela is sending their cartels over to America to have their way with our country. Country. Just watch. Just look. Look at the video from Colorado. And this, though, is exactly the kind of message America should be sending back to everyone, not just Venezuela, but certainly Maduro. The United States has long, for many, many years, established intelligence that allow us to interdict and stop drug boats. We did that. And it doesn't work. Interdiction doesn't work. Because these drug cartels, what they do.
- [45:07]
A
Is they, they know they're going to.
- [45:08]
B
Lose, you know, 2% of their cargo. They bake it into their economics. What will stop them is when you blow them up, when you get rid of them. Yep, that's what we voted for. What I didn't vote for is Chris Van Hollen, the gang loving congressional member right here. What this was was an extrajudicial killing, pure and simple. It was illegal, as you said. We only have the Trump administration's word to take for who was on that vote. Vote. But even if they were right, we're not in a war with Venezuela, we're not in a conflict with Venezuela. They killed narco terrorists, literally. The definition, narco terrorist, terrorists carrying drugs. We've defined Trento agua as terrorists carrying drugs. Narcotics. They killed them. They were bringing drugs to kill our people, you idiot. I guess this guy would have boarded the boat and had some margaritas with the gang bangers. Right, and then you would have used Google Maps to help them into the country. Interesting that he mentioned that word illegal, since I didn't know that Van Hollen really understood what that word really means, since he's put his heart and soul into defending an illegal criminal, thug, gang banger. Think about it. We've actually gotten to a point in this country where Democrats are actively defending, defending drug trafficking Cartels from Venezuela. He was defending them. Democrats are saying that President Trump shouldn't have killed any of them. And Democrats are saying that we should allow them to traffic more drugs into America because Democrats so clearly, clearly hate America. These criminals, these criminal cartels don't just smuggle drugs and feed our massive epidemic into the country. They're diversified into a range of grisly businesses, including kidnapping, extortion, human trafficking, child trafficking, rape, murder. In Venezuela, they're tools of the dictatorship as well, since the regime of Nicolas Maduro uses them to repress and populate and gives them impunity for their organized crime. In Venezuela and in other places in the region, the gangs overwhelm weak institutions, even in countries that want to fight back. And that becomes eventually our problem too, too. Because in Central and South America, they all congregate in Mexico and come over here for our money and our people. That makes them a threat to the US national security. Allowing them to grow powerful has invited chaos and tyranny. And allowing them into the country has put America and Americans in serious danger. But wait, there's more. Agreed to have elections. The elections were completely fake. They leveraged migration against us to get those concessions. And now they have these general licenses where companies like Chevron are actually providing billions of dollars of money into the regime's coffers. And the regime kept none of the promises that they made. So all that needs to be re explored because in Venezuela, you have the Russian presence, you have a very strong Iranian presence. The Iranians, in fact, are exploring or in fact are beginning to build drone factories for the manufacture of Iranian drones in our own hemisphere. Not to mention mention the long practice of the Venezuelan regime of providing real but illegitimate passports to operatives for Hezbollah in our own hemisphere. And lastly, and I leave it lastly to Cuba. And the reason why tens of millions of invaders had their way with our southern and northern borders is because these people were sent a clear message as soon as Joe Biden stepped foot in that White House, flanked by the worst vice president in history, American history, and his border czar.
- [48:48]
A
To folks in this region who are thinking about making that dangerous trek to the United States Mexico border, do not come. Do not come.
- [49:02]
B
Come. Ooh, scary. I don't know. Do not juxtapose this do not come versus blowing 11 of them out of the water when they're in narcotics on the way here, a little different, right? It's not exactly going to stop these cartels, you know what I'm saying? And yet that seemed to be our best defense for four long years, Maduro owns the cartel of the Suns. The U.S. calls it a foreign terrorist group. And the U.S. has indicted Maduro on narco terrorism charges, placing a $50 million bounty on his head. It's not news that these people hurt America and Americans in serious ways and mean to do more. Do Democrats care about that? They seem like they don't actually let me remove any certainty. They don't. And Tren de Aragua isn't Maduro's creation per se, but he's in cahoots with that regime. I'm anti war. I'm against sending our troops and soldiers around the world to fight more endless wars. That goes without saying. You love it, you hate it. I just don't think it's the right thing to do. But it's actions like this one that evokes strength. Weakness begets war. Wars. We've shown more than enough of that one. Right? But two weak Democrat presidents. What happened? Wars popped up everywhere, threatening even us. But enough is enough. President Trump blowing up the drug running boat from Venezuela wasn't just about dissuading drug trafficking. It was also a message to Maduro that our president. That we care if China has Venezuela's back. No, he doesn't. He doesn't give a damn. Which that meeting in China showed full well what they were trying to do. It showed that the leader of this country will do what it needs. He needs, needs to be done to protect the American people. And yes, I most certainly voted for that. Two and a half minutes. Hey, Rav. Family and War Room Posse, mark your calendar. September 12th and 13th.

All right, you guys have been giving me great voicemails. Mad Dog, read a voicemail for us. How good are these? Have been great. It's good. Go play, not read. This one Is Fox News did Trump dirty during Poland meeting? Do it. Eric, this is Mickey Wilmington, North Carolina. Just watch your show while I was working, check my news feed and saw Fox News live coverage video of where they covered Trump meeting with President and noticed from the video minute 155 to 2 minutes 15 seconds. Fox News gave a 20 second full super zoom close up onto the back top side of Trump's right hand to show bruising right in the middle of the Poland president speaking. They had the camera Focused down on Trump's bruised back side of his right hand and slowly scanned up to identify that hand with the President. These people are despicable. They've tried to assassinate his character. They've tried to assassinate him, and they'll do anything to kill his credible accomplishments. We've got to stop being so damn nice. Thank you, Mr. Bolden. Thank you. Thank. I love these voices, you guys. I have hundreds to get to. Keep sending them. Don't stop sending them. I'll get to them. I can't put them all on. They're so good. You're right. You're so right. We. Fox has become mainstream media. They become legacy media. That's why don't trust them. Don't trust them. Just come over here, Mad Dog. This next viewer thinks that they're me. Hi, Eric. I'm the control room guy who's been disguising my voice. And now that you found me out, I'm gonna let you really know what's on my mind. We're not appreciated enough? You don't have enough pizza for us? You should have coffee. Or my choice of do I want Coke? Do I want Pepsi? And from now on, I want you to take all the green colored M&M's out of the bowl before we get there on the set. Thanks. I appreciate that. You're doing a great job. All of us love you. We always will. And this is not. It could be one of your control room guys. I don't know. I might just know how to change my voice a lot. Like Rich Little. You'll never know, right? Mad, though. Can I get the control room camera, please? Please? Can we get that? All right. Bad. Was that you, Mad Dog? Hey, B. That was not me. What's up, Cole? What's up, Trish? Whoever's there. Was that you, Mad Dog? Would you just. That was not me at all. You know. I know it wasn't you. Not by the voice. I thought it was you when you said, we need more pizza, but I, I when you said. When he said you're doing a great job. Bad dog would ever say that. All right, let's read another one. I mean, listen. All right, so this next one is taxpayers giving grants to universities. Hey, I'd like to know the logic behind why the taxpayers are given grants to the universities when the university should be giving grants to the student, not the taxpayers given the grants. It just seems like it would be more logical for with all the money that they have, why are we giving them money to give grants to the students? Thank you. Keep the good work up, up. Thank you. It's such an important point. You know, we talked about, you know, when Trump stopped the $3 billion going to Harvard. It just blows my mind. Harvard has about a 60 billion dollar endowment. And not only do they have an endowment that's like their war chest, they use that as like a pension fund, a hedge fund for, for them. And they profits on that, like literally. They trade it, they invest it the way Wall street does. They're not taxed on the profits to their endowment. So they have a 60 billion dollar hedge fund of their own that they can play around with whatever, having to pay taxes on the profits. We all have to pay taxes if we make money in markets they don't. Why are we giving them $3 billion if they have 60 billion already in their pocket? Good Lord. It's insane how much money this government spends in waste. And they have a government. We have a judge now blocking Trump's blocking the 3 billion. The judge says, no, you can't. So they're to going good. Insane. Good question, though. Mad Dog. This next viewer had a visit from Men in Black. Hi, Eric. I was, I just want you to know, I was just in my parking lot working on my muffler and I got a visit from a couple of dudes dressed in black, black sunglasses on dark glasses, the dark hats, the whole nine yards. And they told me if I know what's good for the, for me, I should stop calling your show. So here's what I'm gonna do. I. So I gave him the middle finger. I told him to kiss my rear end. And I will be calling your show. Nothing is going to stop me. You know, I'd let you know what's going on out there and yeah, I love what you do. Thank you. All right, Matt, can I get that control on camera again? Was that you again? That was not me. I did not get in Target guys. Have you guys have finally done it? You finally called in? I am waiting for them to call in one of these days. Anyway, keep them coming. I got 300 backlogs, maybe 400 backlogs. I work out, run in the morning. I listen to all of them. Please keep sending them. I can't get to them all. I love them. It actually affects how we, how we produce the show as well. So keep them coming. Just keep, just tell me what's on your mind. They're not always as fun as these, but we'll have some fun with it. In the meantime, the edges for people, man, men who weren't burned by the fire who are forged by it. Watch. The fire doesn't care who you are. It tests you. It breaks most men. But if you rise through it, you'll find the edge. The edge A no politics zone built for risk and resilience.
