Key Segment Summaries & Insights

1. Market Recap and Crypto Trends

• Timestamps: 00:04–02:00
• The stock market closed slightly up; gold and oil increased due to inflation anticipation.
• Crypto markets were strong, with Bitcoin nearing $113,000.

  “A little bit flat, a little bit up across the board… Bitcoin got around almost near $113,000. Ethereum did very well as well, up seven bucks.” (Bolling, 00:33)

2. Alan Dershowitz on Defamation, Free Speech, and High-profile Lawsuits

• Timestamps: 02:00–13:02

On Rosie O’Donnell’s Epstein/Trump Allegations

• Dershowitz addresses Rosie O’Donnell’s claim that President Trump paid $1 billion to Jeffrey Epstein and the possibility of legal action.

  “President Trump has a very viable lawsuit against Rosie O’Donnell… You can't allow people like Rosie O’Donnell just to make up facts.” – Alan Dershowitz (03:27)

• Class action suits aren’t feasible for “general” defamation under the First Amendment—only those directly damaged may sue.

  “But the First Amendment does protect general statements of this kind. Look, the First Amendment is not designed to make people feel good. It’s designed to allow speech which is horrible and offensive…” – Alan Dershowitz (04:28)

On Trump’s $20B Lawsuit Against Murdoch/WSJ

• The focus shifts to whether Trump’s birthday note to Epstein (now public) constitutes grounds for a defamation suit.
• Dershowitz: authenticity is key, but even if true, such a note (pre-offenses) is not incriminating.

  “If the Wall Street Journal has a basis for making the statement, then they will prevail, even if the statement was false and defamatory.” – Dershowitz (06:46)

• Lawsuit’s prospects are dim, as proving malice or knowledge of falsehood is a high bar, especially for public figures.

On Settlements and Discovery

• Bolling suggests settlements can occur just to avoid the pain of discovery (as with Dominion lawsuit).
• Dershowitz agrees but reiterates you’d need to clear a motion to dismiss—unlikely in this case.

On Violent Crime and Systemic Failures

• Bolling highlights a recent stabbing in North Carolina by a repeat offender. Criticizes the magistrate, Teresa Stokes, for releasing the assailant.
• Dershowitz links the issue to systemic failures and critiques Black Lives Matter as “racist” for selective outrage.

  “We should care equally about whether a black person kills a white person, a white person kills a black person… Black Lives Matter seems to care only when white policemen kill black people. And that's racism.” – Dershowitz (10:34)

• Argues for preventative state measures—locking up repeat offenders without abridging general liberties.

Notable Moment

“This man should never ever under any circumstances be allowed to see another day of freedom in his life. He has proved beyond any doubt that he is dangerous.” – Dershowitz on repeat violent offenders (12:02)

3. Editorial Monologue: Crime, Media, & Political Hypocrisy

• Timestamps: 13:02–24:39

The Irina Zaratsky Murder and Media Silence

• Bolling details Irina Zaratsky (Ukrainian refugee) murdered on a train by a man with 14 prior arrests.
• Lambastes media and Democratic politicians for being silent because the narrative doesn’t fit their agenda.

  “Every single politician should be on the steps of the Capitol today demanding answers and change, but you won’t see a single Democrat.” (Bolling, 13:35)

• Media and social platforms, accused of actively suppressing the story, with Wikipedia attempts to delete her page.

Contrast with George Floyd’s Death

• Bolling calls out what he sees as double standards—extended eulogies for Floyd; silence for Zaratsky.

Policy Failures and Accountability

• Expresses outrage at magistrate judges allowing repeat offenders onto the streets.

  “Unless Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes...is held responsible, we’re not a real country.” (Bolling, 22:50)

“Do we ever own anything in this country? I bought my house, paid cash... but yet still have to pay $2,000 a year in personal property taxes.” (Caller at 46:32)

“All government officials want to do is take your money... property taxes, when you own the property, are theft, pure unadulterated theft.” – Bolling (47:40)

• Teases possibility of eliminating property taxes on homesteaded properties.

Closing Summary

This episode is emblematic of Real America’s Voice’s approach: challenging perceived media omissions and highlighting policies and narratives ignored elsewhere. Insights from Alan Dershowitz clarify legal limits of free speech and defamation; firsthand accounts and tough rhetoric hammer home dissatisfaction with contemporary politics, crime, and media treatment; and Jay Collins’ appearance recasts Florida as a laboratory for conservative reform, particularly around immigration and parental rights. Listener voices reinforce concern with government overreach, propelling the episode with raw, unfiltered opinion.

Listeners are left with a sense of urgency to remain vigilant, politically active, and skeptical of official narratives—true to the show’s promise of “Real News, Honest Views.”
