Promises made, being kept. The Supreme Court helping him out a little bit today, but we're going to get into that as well. Steve, have a great day and we'll see you tomorrow, my friend. All right, folks, we'll take it from here. Bowling. All right, it's 4pm on Monday. What does that mean? Means markets are closed and I will tell you how we did today. Well, I'll tell you the I'll get to crypto in a second. But the overall stock market, a little bit flat, a little bit up across the board. You can see it right there. Less than half of a percent across the board on the major indices. We saw gold holding its own. Gold and oil went up today a lot because people are waiting for these inflation numbers that's going to come out towards the end of the week, Wednesday and Thursday of producer prices on Wednesday. That's where producers tell us how much things cost to make. My guess, it's going to be up a little bit and the consumer price index will probably be flat because oil prices have come down. That's always helpful at the consumer level. Crypto had a good day for most of the day across the board, 112,200 or so. With Bitcoin, it got around almost near 113,000. Ethereum did very well as well, up seven bucks. And XRP did well, as did CRO. So all the crypto markets showing a good amount of strength. A lot of people are waiting to see where that breakout. 110,000, 109,000 or so. And in Bitcoin, the top being about 113, 14 going to break out of that range one way or the other. We're going to expect to hope it goes higher. All right, let's bring in the next guest, professor emeritus at Harvard, where He taught for 50 years and is called the world's best known lawyer. His newest book is called the Preventative State. The Challenge of Preventing Serious Harms while Preserving Essential Liberties. And that last part for me. Well, Alan Dershowitz, that last part for me, while preserving essential liberties is, is the most important part of that. Over the weekend you said you are willing to assist in suing former talk show host Rosie O' Donnell over her false claim that President Trump paid $1 billion to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. You believe her statement was malicious. This woman moved out of the United States wanting nothing to do with our country. When Trump was elected a second time, why is she still commenting on the president? Is it just an attempt at staying relevant? Let's bring in Dr. Dershowitz. There he is. Hey, sir, can we do this? Before we jump into you, Alan, let's show the sound bite that most recently kind of infuriated Trump, Trump world on the shooting that happened in Minneapolis. Let's play that one. So about the Minnesota shooting. And it brought me right back to Columbine in 1999, when I just could not get, get it through my head that students in America were shooting each other in schools. And this was a church inside a Catholic school. And what do you know? Was a white guy, Republican, MAGA person. What do you know? White supremacist. White supremacist, white guy, MAGA person. We will tell you that she apologized later when it came out that he had, he had killed Donald Trump on one of his, his gun, the magazines for one of his guns. Alan, does this woman is, she's, she's asking for it, is she not? Can you sue her? She's a public Persona. Can she say things like that? And do you really have a viable lawsuit?
- [03:26]
C
Well, the only viable lawsuit is by people who have been damaged. So, for example, President Trump has a very viable lawsuit against Rosie o', Donnell, which I hope that he will pursue. And you can't allow people like Rosie o' Donnell just to make up facts about a billion dollars being given by Jeffrey Epstein. I was Jeffrey Epstein's lawyer. I know quite a bit about the case. I know about the relationship between Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump. A completely innocent relationship. But to let her get away with this. No, that's not what the framers of the First Amendment had in mind when they wrote that Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech. Obviously, there was an exception for malicious defamation that was implicit, indeed explicit in the laws at the time.
- [04:11]
B
So, okay, so Trump has, has a case, but she called all of MAGA white supremacists to support the, you know, the mass killing of young kids praying in school. Isn't there a class action suit for something like that?
- [04:26]
C
Class actions are really not permissible under the First Amendment. You have to show that you specifically have been damaged. She ought to be destroyed in the marketplace of ideas. Nobody ought to take her at all seriously. 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 as long as it doesn't maliciously defame individuals or in any way negate the national security interests of the country. So, you know, these are close issues and the Supreme Court is in the process, I believe, of reconsidering some of these issues in light of the Internet and a range of other considerations that were not around when the First Amendment was enacted.
- [05:17]
B
Alan, let's switch gears a little bit because there's a, there's a story that's continues the fester. And, you know, we just, we want to get it cleaned up. And behind us, Trump and Murdoch. Okay, so Murdoch says that they, I guess Wall Street Journal has a copy of a birthday note that Donald Trump sent to Jeffrey Epstein with his signature and whatnot. Trump sues the Murdoch. I believe he sues the Wall Street Journal and Murdoch personally for $20 billion. With a beat. It kind of died down a little bit. Now I see today that the Murdoch's released what they believe is a note that Trump sent to Jeffrey Epstein and signed. I'm looking at it right here. Do you, you know, you knew Epstein, you knew Trump, you knew Epstein. I mean, first of all, so the hell. Why, if 20 years ago Trump sent Epstein a note, if he never participated in any of the disgusting acts, no one really cares. But Trump is suing to stop this note from coming out. Here it is. Tell us as a legal observer, how does this play out?
- [06:23]
C
Well, it depends on whether the note is authentic. They also claim they have a note from me. I have no recollection. I might very well have written him a congratulatory note on his birthday. At the time, nobody knew that he was involved in the activities that he ultimately pleaded guilty to. This was well before any of that happened. I've asked the Wall Street Journal to send me a copy of the letter that purports to have my signature so I can check to see if it's my signature. I'll recognize my signature, and if it is, I'll say, yeah, I wrote it. If it isn't, I'll wonder who sent it and who signed it. So I think the same thing is true with Trump. I don't think Trump, in the end will win this lawsuit because he would have to prove that the Wall Street Journal engaged not only in defamation, but malicious defamation. There has to be malice. And if the Wall Street Journal has a basis for making the statement, then they will prevail, even if the statement was false and defamatory. So it's a very hard barrier to overcome if you're a public figure.
- [07:23]
B
But Trump doesn't tend to go to court with these. He tends to settle these. I'm thinking of cbs, abc, for example, George Stephanopoulos. Characterized one of his convictions as rape versus when it was a civil matter, not a criminal matter. He sued him for a lot of money and settled for, I think, $16 million. Is there something at play here where Trump can get a win out of this, telling Murdoch, okay, so maybe you're right, but it's going to cost you a lot more to go through with the lawsuit than settle with me.
- [07:55]
C
If I had to make a prediction, I would say no. I would say that the lawyers for the Wall Street Journal are telling Murdoch that they really have no chance of losing this. So I don't think we'll see a settlement. You know, it's possible that they'll put some change on the table to avoid having to go to court, but I'm not even sure this will survive emotionally.
- [08:15]
B
But you and I both know, Alan, you and I both know. I mean, the worst part of any lawsuit is discovery, right? When you're sued, you all your everything becomes public of all your private dealings and wins dealings with the people that are working for you. So one of the Achilles heels to someone like Murdoch, and we saw it happen with the Dominion lawsuit, is, I believe they probably settled because Rupert Murdoch didn't want to expose what he was saying to his friends, his colleagues, his hosts, people who worked for him. And so he ended up writing a check for $787 million, I believe. It's my opinion. I'm not suggesting that that's, you know, but. But my point is maybe it's the same, maybe it's the same Achilles that Trump can lean into Murdoch and say, Murdoch says, I don't want to deal with this either. So here's, you know, $200 million.
- [09:03]
C
But in order to get discovery, you have to overcome a motion to dismiss. And I'm not sure this will overcome a motion and dismiss because in order to do it, you have to allege that there was malice. You have to allege that the Wall Street Journal was aware that, or should have been aware, was reasonably unnoticed that this statement was not signed by Donald Trump. I don't think this lawsuit is going anywhere. That's my prediction. I could be wrong and you might be right, that if it does overcome a motion to dismiss, they probably would settle because they don't want discovery.
- [09:42]
B
Got it, got it, got it. This other very quickly on only a couple of minutes left, this, this situation in, in North Carolina where a young woman gets on the train, some demented lunatic, she, she happens to pick the wrong seat in the whole train, sits right in front of a Demented lunatic who stands up, stabs her in the neck, kills her. Right. 14 times this guy has been arrested prior and, and he's out doing things like this. She did nothing but sit in the seat in front of him. If you see the video of this, it's horrendous by the way she sits down, he contemplates it, takes out a switchblade, picks it up, and you can see him getting madder and madder for whatever's going on in his mind. I mean, how are these people getting out of jail? There's a magistrate named Teresa Stokes who let this lunatic out.
- [10:29]
C
Well, he shouldn't be let out. Obviously somebody like that should not be out on the street. But it also reflects the racism of Black Lives Matter. We should care equally about whether black people or a black person kills a white person, a white person kills a black person, or a black person kills a black person. Black Lives Matter seems to care only when white policemen kill black people. And that's racism. And that's why I am so totally opposed to the organization Black Lives Matter, which is a bigoted anti semitic, anti American, anti justice organization that, that no one should support.
- [11:08]
B
With a history of misappropriating donors funds. It's incredible how that thing is still hasn't been shut down over the years. I, I agree with you. Just tell us though, he's going to be incarcerated, but where and how? And please tell us this guy will never be on the street again.
- [11:26]
C
Oh, he'll never be on the street again. I would hope he'll either be convicted or he'll be found not guilty by reason of insanity, which would result in him spending probably the rest of his life in a mental hospital. But 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. I mean, that's the thesis of my whole book that you mentioned in the beginning, the preventive state. How to prevent these kinds of things without abridging liberty. And I think locking people like him up based on a clear prediction, based on his former actions, that he will do it again is a legitimate use of governmental power. So I would hope that based on what he did in the past, we can adequately predict and prevent him from doing anything.
- [12:15]
B
Where, from where though? I mean, my concern is he, he, instead of doing hard time like he should, he's going to end up in some sort of mental institution that's a little less hard than, than a.
- [12:26]
C
Mental hospitals are not, are not easy places to be in either, because who are your fellow inmates? They're mentally ill, often violent people. So I don't envy anybody going to a mental hospital for the criminally insane. But the important thing is to get him off the street, to prevent him from getting any access to this innocent woman who was so brutally murdered without any, any fault on her part at all.
- [12:50]
B
Incredible. Incredible. The media, the liberal, mainstream liberal media and just keeps her mouth shut. But we're not going to. In fact, there's a monologue coming right after the break. After this. Alan Dershowitz, I appreciate your time. Thank you, sir.
- [13:02]
C
Thank you for having me.
- [13:04]

Alrighty. One. One week and a day away. One week and one day away and you are sending me voicemails on what you think. It's going to be great. Perseverance. America 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. No politics, only pressure. Folks, this is Irina Zyrutsky. Show her. She was 23 years old. We're saying her name. We're going to show her image. We will tell her story, and we won't stop doing so until something changes. Irina's Zaratsky was a Ukrainian war refugee. She fled danger for safety in America. Irina did nothing but board a train and sit quietly as a passenger. Irina Zaretsky was brutally murdered, stabbed to death by a criminal who should never have been out on the streets. And Irina's story has been ignored by the mainstream media, the general media, the legacy media. But she won't have died in vain. We will make sure of it. Right here. Five years ago, then, former vice president and presidential candidate Joe Biden gave a eulogy for George Floyd, the criminal. He spoke about Floyd for about five minutes like he was the second coming of Jesus Christ. Biden did five minutes. Here's a very small but nauseating sample. To George's children and grandchild. I know you miss your dad and your granddad, little Gianna, as I said to you when I saw you yesterday, you're so brave. Daddy's looking down. He's so proud of you. Why in this nation do too many black Americans wake up knowing that they could lose their life in the course of just living their life? You're so brave, George. You're so brave. For five minutes he talked about Floyd like that, like he was some sort of saint. For months, there were protests and riots in the streets, murals painted in his honor. He got golden caskets and months of riots to boot. They just love to exalt criminals, don't those Democrats? Where are the kneeling Democrats now for Arena? Every single politician should be on the steps of the Capitol today demanding answers and change, but you won't see a single Democrat. They're so quick to call out and call for a total ban on guns. When guns are involved, why aren't they coming out against knives or putting violent criminals back on the street? Come out against those. Those are just as important, aren't they? A young Ukrainian girl flees to America away from a war the left insists on funding and continuing, by the way, randomly and for no reason. A lunatic, a man stabs her in the neck just for sitting in front of him, and he kills her. And the media outlets are silent. Democrats are silent. Let that sink in for a minute. The only way this story was spread was mainly on X on Twitter. And get this, the mayor of Charlotte actually thanked the media for not reporting on it, saying that it's out of respect for the victim. But what is really it's out of respect for the Democrat agenda. That's what it was really about. This is a political nightmare for them. They want it squashed and forgotten. That's the control the left has over the media. And they happily, happily comply. The media does. You think that's mind blowing? Well, brace yourself for this. Someone started a GoFundMe page for that animal. We had to check to see if it was actually real. And it was. And people actually donated to it before. Was finally taken down after a complete uproar. What's wrong with this country? We are not okay. This is not okay. If you're a left wing spin doctor, this is the worst case scenario. A savage, unprovoked murder with zero room for debate, all captured on video. A thug Black perp with 14 prior convictions led off by a magistrate. Ready for this? Judge Teresa Stokes and other judges who don't believe in prison or black crime. I'll say it again. Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes. A young woman slaughtered because she sat in the wrong seat on a train coming home from work. It's not a fluke. This is the result of their policy, Democrat policy. And look at how the media, their media deflects when they finally do talk about it. Ready for this? Axio says grizzly Charlotte stabbing video fuels Maga's crime message. Maga's crime message. MagA's crime message. There's no message. There's one truth. There's a video. It's a. It's not up for debate. It's not a message. A woman was murdered in cold blood. And by the way, it's not maga's crime message. It should be America's crime message, shouldn't it? Axios? You see, they don't see this as their issue. And that tells you everything you need to know. But it gets worse. Feeling a bit defensive, Axios, Clearly. What's this now? Quote, the gruesome video of the fatal knife attack on Irina Zaratsky on a light rail car in Charlotte is drawing attention from MAGA influencers seeking to elevate the issue of violent urban crime and accuse mainstream media of undercovering shocking cases. So the video that exposes the gruesome death is now an inconvenient truth to them. We got it. Can you imagine the media blaming what happened to George Floyd on the person filming what happened? You don't hate them enough. But wait, there's more. Wikipedia editors actually tried to get a page describing her murder deleted from the site. We cannot let this go. We cannot let them erase this. We're not going to let it happen. Americans should want a justice system that does not let someone with 14 mug shots free to sit behind you on a train. Think about that for a second. That could have been you, your daughter, your son, your wife, your cousin. It's a bare minimum. We're not asking for too much. Every single one of us, no matter what the politics, the race, the gender. Every last one of us should be outraged about the way they are hiding it on the mainstream media. Here's a list of people Democrats have given more attention to than the Ukrainian war refugee murdered by a repeat offender. Well, the Democrats love to tell us about that illegal migrant. The MS.13 gang member who beat his wife several times and trafficked children. Or the fentanyl user who has stabbed a pregnant woman in the stomach and has committed several other punishable crimes. A man who defended a New York subway train against a mentally disturbed, aggressive madman. The media silence on this murder is one of the most disgusting acts of lying by omission we've ever seen. From the people who gave you the Daniel Penny wall to wall negative coverage and the Black Lives Matter moral panic. We need to talk about the story until it becomes the center of national conversations so people will stop and wake up and stop enabling this violent savagery. And the administration must use this as a pretext to go hard. This cannot be forgotten. Like so many other instances, it needs to end once and for all. Here she is. Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes. And every single judge who let this man back out on the street has blood on their hands. Unless there. Right there. Unless Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes right there, who released this man back on the street is held responsible. We're not a real country. Keep that picture up. Keep that picture up for a minute. The fact that our entire system is designed to keep that animal alive while shrugging about the women he murdered says it all. Okay, this is it. Unless we can protect women and children from. From violence, we're not a real country. Unless this warning is taken seriously and real change happens, we're not and not cannot be a real country. Leave that picture up for a second. Go find her. Teresa Stokes. Tell them the bowling show sent you. We'll be back. Two and a half minutes. All right. We are waiting for the Lieutenant governor of Florida to sign in. He's there. He's in our zoom. We're just trying to get him checked in. So in the meantime, well, you can run. You want to run Edge, Go run Edge. 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. A no politics zone built for risk and resilience. No politics, only pressure. All right, folks, take a look at this. I just completed 408 days.
- [24:41]
D
That's four rounds.
- [24:43]
B
So you said building a house, but I don't want to live in a little shack. I want to live in The Taj Mahal. 122 pounds of fat loss. So hold on, what did you start at? £307. Now I'm at like 185.
- [25:00]
C
2.1% skeletal muscle.
- [25:02]
B
All the skin is tightening up. That's the beautiful thing. The science is really legit. You just follow the program scientifically. You can't real, it's just impossible.
- [25:13]
D
So you could live in a shack, or you could build a beautiful cathedral or Taj Mahal.
- [25:23]
B
That was a look at another happy Energized health client. Years of crash dieting, extreme exercise programs, fasting, even weight loss shots have ruined people's metabolisms, leaving them sluggish and struggling with their health. And emotionally defeated. Founder of Energized Health, John Jubilee joins us to tell us how we can make our metabolism better. Welcome, John. Why do short term fixes often backfire and actually damage the metabolism over time?
- [25:50]
D
Well, they, they do that because we're, we're made to live a full, joyful life. We're, we're made to eat real food. That's why God gave us taste buds, because food tastes good. We should be eating real food, not doing any crazy fads. Whether it's dieting or exercising or for sure not injecting outside in things into us. Guys, I just want to encourage everybody. The science is out. These GLP1s, Ozempic is of course the most famous one. But all those will absolutely destroy your metabolism forever. I mean, even the New York Times, you know, a crazy left wing, they did an op ed of saying that all the people on the Biggest Loser completely destroyed their metabolisms. They'll never be normal again. And they do it because people are just doing all the wrong things, Eric. So the great news is, look, here's a guy that lost a human. I mean, there's people that weigh 122 pounds, right? That guy lost a human out of his body. His skin is tight as a drum. He gained lean muscle. Everyone that goes on Ozempic, the science says you will lose probably at least 20 healthy pounds of muscle, of lean skeletal muscle. That's doing it the wrong way. We want people to do it the right way so they're healthy for their entire life.
- [27:15]
B
Got it, Got it. You know, there's this fad, you know, I'm involved in it too. There's this protein, new protein diet and all these things that you make you lose a little bit of weight, get leaner, but this doesn't eliminate the need for cellular hydration. Right? Tell us how cellular hydration actually makes you healthier.
- [27:34]
D
Yeah. Well, the beautiful thing about cellular hydration is your body was created to be mostly water. So you need to know what's in there. So, you know, we teach that weight loss is a myth. And it's a myth because you could lose weight and you think, oh, good, I'm losing weight. But you're losing your healthy hydration out of your body, which makes you less healthy. You're losing your lean skeletal muscle, which makes you less healthy and crashes and destroys your metabolism. But the intercellular hydration, you're optimized. Your digestive system works like it did your metabolism works like it did when you were 17 years old. And hey, tomorrow's my birthday. 65, my 65th formal senior citizen birthday. And I want to encourage you guys, hey, 65 years old, not one medical doctor visit for 29 years now. Doesn't be 29 years without one medical doctor visit. I lost my 10 inch belly 29 years ago. Never gained it back. This is the healthy way for people, guys. This is how to get healthy for the rest of your life. And let me give you a simple invitation. Just go on the website. We have no salespeople. We don't try to sell anybody anything. We share an experience that will transform your life. And when you go on the website at Energized Health, there's a short masterclass with Chelsea and I will give you some great science. And then one of our certified coaches, one of our health experts will give you a breakthrough call with no sales to it, guys, just sharing how you can have your best health the right way.

B
There you go. There you go. My55challenge.com. My55challenge.com that's the way you find it. John Jubilee, thank you so much for your time.
- [29:24]
D
Thank you, brother.
- [29:24]
B
Happy birthday. Happy birthday too, by the way.
- [29:26]
D
Thank you.

B
All right, folks, Jimmy Kimmel really thinks his late nights are. His rants are moving the needle in their direction left. Obviously, he thinks that his daily televised complaints about Trump are making the world a better place. Well, here's Kimmel, the self proclaimed freedom warrior, talking about what it means to defend democracy.
- [29:45]
E
Heavy thoughts. And I have a tendency to reject them. I don't necessarily feel like I'm defending democracy, but I do feel like I'm.
- [29:55]
B
Giving this guy a little poke and he deserves it.
- [29:58]
E
And I enjoy it. And I love that people enjoy it too.
- [30:03]
B
I mean, if there's any indication, Colbert is gone. You're probably next, Kimmel. Maybe. Maybe Fallon sticks around for a little while longer. The needle's moving away from late night comedians for a good reason. They're not funny anymore. MSNBC is becoming harder to listen to by the day. They did a segment on the crimes of the Trump administration, included the administration's work with the cartels for some reason. As if anyone thinks that eliminating violent criminals and the cartels is something bad. Listen to this absolute nonsense.
- [30:34]
F
It's important to note that what just happened, what happened on the open seas, that was done largely just to show off, right? So that's like an even further aspect of the criminality of that is that regardless of the fact that we don't know who those people were, we don't know what they were doing, we don't know if they broke the law, they were given no chance to say that not only did that not matter for purposes of legality, but it wouldn't have mattered anyway because they were just doing it to show off. I mean, that's, you know, there are so many aspects of this that are criminal, but that's a particularly detestable one.
- [31:12]
B
It's not really criminal if they're narco terrorists. We've already declared that they were trend terrorist organization that went through the courts. It's been decided. So no, it's not just Trump showing off. It's actually steeped in some sort of legalese. I'm not sure I agree with the idea of blowing people out of the water, but it's, I think they, I think the lawyers for Trump cover their butts, so to speak. Speaking of msnbc, Morning Joe had another one of those deranged trademark meltdowns. This time is over. Howard Stern. He feels like certain people are being too hard on old Howard. Take a listen to this on air meltdown. Months and months of bull stories by.
- [31:53]
D
Bull news sources and right wing trolls. Variety announces Mika Brzezinski that Howard Stern.
- [32:05]
B
Has re signed his contract.
- [32:07]
F
Goodness gracious.
- [32:08]
B
With Sirius Ex him.
- [32:10]
D
Howard renews his serious oh, they're going.
- [32:13]
B
To get rid of. Oh, Howard loses Howard. He should have never crossed the President. He should have never crossed the right wing Republicans.
- [32:24]
C
What?
- [32:25]
B
This is what happens when you cross us.
- [32:27]
D
This is what happens when you cross Us beta males.
- [32:31]
B
You lose your job.
- [32:32]
D
Oh, wait, no. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Howard Stern renews his deal with Serious Exam.
- [32:42]
B
You two are two piece, three piece in the pod, right? You, Joe, you, you schmuck. Mika, you schmuckette. And. And Howard. Howard Stern used to be a great interviewer. He like him or not, he was a great interview. Didn't matter what political aisle you come from. He gave you a tough time and he. He dug in. That's why he became so good and famous. Now he's just a liberal shill like you, Joe. He used to be a Republican Congressman. Remember that. Remember, you're a Florida congressman. Republican now. What are you? You're nothing but a fake, fake Republican liberal schmuck. And you too, Mika Brzezinski. All right, folks, we do have the Lieutenant Governor of Florida standing by. Backside of the break.

Tickets won't last. All right, our next guest was a Green Beret elite Special forces who lost his leg in battle. Got a prosthetic leg and re qualified for Special Forces and served five more years. He's the co chair of Florida, Maha. And now the new Lieutenant Governor of the great state of Florida. Happy to have Lt. Governor Jay Collins with us. If I didn't mention this before, sir, I should also add that you've earned the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart. You've performed surgery on your triage on your own arm to save it and then later lost your leg and resigned. Re upped with the. With the. Became a Special Forces 2.0. Thank you for. Thank you for our freedom. You. You exemplify everything that we should be thankful for and the people who serve. Thank you, sir. Tell us about Lieutenant Governor. What's the plan?
- [35:19]
H
Well, Eric, first off, I think we're coming up on three weeks and change right now. It's an amazing honor. It really is to get to serve our people in this regard and just go out there and see people for who they are, how they are, where they are. It means everything. You know, I'm blessed to be Lieutenant Governor. I was blessed to be a Green Beret, but, man, I'm a dad and a husband first and foremost. And to be able to really make a difference in the lives of the community means I'm making a difference in the lives of my children, which means I'm living up to the thing that's most important to me, which is being a good dad and a good husband and ultimately even better than we got it.
- [35:52]
B
Yeah. And you make. Make the state great. I've moved down here four years ago, went to college at Rollins in Central Florida. Came down here four years ago from 30 years in New York. And what a difference it is. I'm never, ever leaving. Desantis has just done an amazing job. A lot of it has to do with his relationship and I assume yours with the sheriff's offices around the. Around the state. I assume that that'll continue, sir. Immigration and I want to hit on Alligator Alcatraz. Where do they stand? Where do they stand with Deportation Depot? These are two things that are cutting edge. I was at Alligator Alcatraz when it opened opening day. Fantastic. Judges are playing games with you. Where do these things stand? How do you reopen them?
- [36:32]
H
Well, Eric. Yeah. You know, the American people have been very clear. They have a clear expectation that illegal immigration will be taken care of. President Trump is leading on that across the country. And no one has done more for the president's agenda on illegal immigration than the great state of Florida. So we are leading the way in 287 agreements. And as is often the case, we know the liberal activists in this case, a judge wants to get in the mix. They tried to use a. An EPA study, an assessment to derail this. We knew that liberal court was going to go ahead and play their games, but we knew that in the appeal, we would win. And there was a state of a complete stay in this case. So Alligator Alcatraz is open for business. We are actively working through that. We have Deportation Depot, which is also open for business. And now I hear there's a good conversation on the Panhandle Pokey, which will just triple down on taking care of business following the will of the American people. And taking this illegal immigration problem seriously.
- [37:29]
B
That's great. That's great. So the good news is you can work on subverting these activist judges and their attempt to shut down things that Americans voted for. Let's face it, they voted for exactly what Trump is doing and what Governor DeSantis and you are doing again. This is Jay Collins, Lieutenant Governor of Florida. Glad you're working together with the greatest governor in the America in the states right now. Let's flip a little bit to Maha Florida and the reason why this is very important to a lot of us. We are just very, very interested in what's going on with the state of health care in Florida. Let's take a Listen to Ron DeSantis, if you don't mind.
- [38:04]
E
You had teacher unions fighting this in Chicago, Los Angeles. You know, they would say, oh, it's too dangerous to go to school. And then you'd find one of these union people in the Bahamas putting pictures on Instagram. And I'm like, you got to be kidding me. Had we listened to Fauci and these people, it would have been devastating for these kids. There's just no question about it. California, Illinois, these states did, did tremendous harm, harm to these vulnerable kids. And you know what, what they would do is you would have people issuing edicts. And yet these elites, their kids were still going to private school in person, but they were shutting the public where they had the lower income and the working class kids that didn't have access to all these things. And so that was public health pushing an agenda. And it was one of the most harmful agendas to our country kids that has ever been pushed in the modern history of our country. We were right in Florida and they were wrong about what they were trying to do.
- [39:06]
B
So, Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins, tell us about the, the plan going forward for the Maha movement in, in Florida.
- [39:14]
H
Well, you know, Eric, I, I think one thing we have to talk about here is he is the greatest governor in our state's history, and there's a reason we call him America's Governor. He is absolutely amazing. You see the courage and conviction to step up and stand alone when necessary. That kind of leadership matters. Imagine where our nation would be if Florida hadn't stood because Governor Ron DeSantis stood. Ultimately, what are we doing with Maha? Ultimately, I think it comes down to parental rights and understanding what goes in your body. This is a big discussion. Immunizations are one part of that. So, you know, if you want to get an immunization, I think you can probably have your Immunization, but I think this comes down to mandates, and that is the overriding discussion. But, you know, as a dad, as someone who.
- [39:57]
B
So if I may. If I may, sir, it is. It does come down to mandates. And no more mandates.
- [40:06]
H
Well, Eric, I think that is exactly what the discussion is. Obviously, it'll be a long legislative process. This will be discussed in depth and breadth. But you know what? I dream of kids not being turned away from their pediatrician. You know, one of my boys had some health issues, and he struggled with a typical immunization schedule. We didn't do the. The jab because, frankly, we didn't think it was necessary at his age bracket, and the secondary consequences weren't there. And yet we got turned away from pediatricians simply because of that. That type of action is unacceptable, and I don't want to see any more of that. If you want to get an immunization, you can have your immunization. And I think that's what this discussion is all about. Where are we going to stand as a state? I think you heard the governor, you've heard me, you've heard Dr. Ladapote on this, and Florida is going to stand strong. We're going to leave from the front on this, and we'll see how this leg, the legislative process works out. But there's a lot of work to do on it.
- [41:09]
B
Well, I would tell you Florida was cutting edge when. During. During COVID you came out the best you could, came out early, pushed aside some of the federal mandates that they're. They're forcing us. I know, because I had to fly to New York, and at one point I had to get one of the shots. I only had one, but I forced myself. I had to do it because I couldn't get into New York airport without showing a card saying I was. It was. It was insane. I just ever want to have to do that again. It's good to hear you say what you said right there. We only have about a minute or so. One of the things with floor greatest state in the world to live. Just amazing. You're running a budget surplus. There's been talk about eliminating property, property taxes. A lot of Floridians would love to hear if that is possible going forward.
- [41:53]
H
Yeah, Eric, great question. You know, I do think it's possible. Let's talk about those homesteaded properties. The American dream is to own your home. Can you ever really own it if you owe money to the government or they can take it away from you just because something goes wrong? The answer is no, you really don't truly own your home if the government can take it from you. So that's the dream. We're going to work on it. Obviously, we're doing our CAFO or the. The work to make sure we find excess government waste. And I do think this is very possible, but it can't be done legislatively. It's going to have to go on the ballot. The people are going to have to vote. And I would encourage people to go out there and make sure they are. Well, well, read on this. They understand. And then vote. If you think property tax is something we should. We should work through, because I sure as heck would like to not have property tax on my homestead at home as what I had many.
- [42:39]
B
That's the whole point of homestead. That is the whole point of homestead. Government is music to my ears to hear you say that when you homestead, you declare, this is your. Your dwelling. Do you own this dwelling? And the government continuing to tax it just says they own it. You're only renting it from them. It's just so infuriating. I hope you get that as one of the top priorities going forward. I mean, you want to talk about migration to the state of Florida, which you've had wonderful success from, California, New York, and some of the other liberal places. I don't like seeing them on the streets. I hate. I hate seeing a New Jersey or California license plate on the street. Just whatever. But you want the migration. You want the state to be strong. You want that budget surplus to happen. Great, Great. Across the board. Lieutenant governor Jay Collins. Go get him. Go get him. Sir, again, thank you for the sacrifices you made for this country. We appreciate it.
- [43:28]
H
I would do it again a heartbeat, twice on Sunday, my friend. Eric, thank you for your time today.
- [43:32]
B
Yes, sir. I'm going to meet you at a bucky's one of these days. We'll get. We'll get the Santas out there. The three of us will get a. Go get a sandwich at BUC EE's. Mark my words. We're going to do that. We're going to do that. Lieutenant Governor, thank you for your time.
- [43:44]
H
All right, have a good one, Eric.
- [43:45]
B
You too. All right, folks, two and a half minutes. We'll be back.
- [43:54]
I
Sam, are we back?
- [44:20]
B
I guess. Bad dog. We're back. Okay. You forgot to tell me. I love it. I'm just looking around like, oh, here. Hey, I guess we're back. We're back. But I do love listening to your voicemails because this is interesting. I got this voicemail maybe an hour before the show. I just wanted to popped in and listened to it and happened to address the exact issue that the lieutenant governor, Jay Collins just mentioned a minute ago. And it's like I was having a surreal moment because that was a live interview, but the voicemail I heard was talking something very similar to what we had just talked about. Mad Dog, let's do a couple of, I don't know if you have the two from today I sent over again. I listened to all of them. I'm just, I got a backlog. It's probably approaching a thousand right now. Hear me out. Keep sending them, keep sending them. They're amazing. Okay, let's hear a couple. Mad Dog, start with one. This first one is Dan from Arizona, says the President needs to back up and let it go. Okay.
- [45:15]
I
Hey, Eric, this Sam, I'm out in Prescott, Arizona. President Trump needs to stop trying to get into these Democrat cities, the mayors, and take over their cities with troops. He needs to let it go because what's going to happen is the D.C. mayor is going to get reelected because she worked with the federal government and that's how she run if she has to run in the midterms. But other midterms, leave them alone, Mr. President. Let them have to explain to their people why they're letting minorities, mostly black, kill one another. When the President wants to save lives, they're willing to kill more. So President, he just back up, let them go. And then after the midterms, the Republicans should get a clean sweep and we'll change the whole picture. Take care. Good show. Thanks.
- [46:05]
B
I thank you. One theory, you know, another theory would be let's stop the crime first and show them that conservative America, first, pro Trump, maga, whatever you want to call it, policies work. And maybe that's, that's the other way. Not bad either way. But we thank you. Thank you for your voicemail, sir. Prescott, Arizona.
- [46:24]
C
Maddox Viewer asks, do we ever own.
- [46:28]
B
Anything in this country? That's it. This is the one I was talking about. This came in about an hour before the show.
- [46:34]
I
Listen, Eric, I just got a question. Do we ever own anything in this country? I bought my house, paid cash for the house with cash that was given to me through a settlement so the money was able to be taxed. I would use that non taxable money to buy a house. Got DNS in my hand, but yet I'm still going to have to pay $2,000 a year in personal property taxes. We pay taxes on our car when we buy it and then the sales tax and then have to pay tax on it every year. I know each state's different, but it needs to be done away with, especially if you own it outright. Just what's on my mind. You're the best. See you.
- [47:27]
B
Great, great comment. Great comment. Is so if they continue to tax as property taxes, we bought the property. Let's say we bought it, we own it outright. Doesn't matter if you borrowed money on it or whatever. We own it. We have the risk for if someone, you know, dies on our property, we'll get sued. They're not going to sue the state. We own it. We got responsibility for it. We have responsible responsible for making the payments on it. Why the hell does the government think that they can tax us for it? It's insane. These people are nuts. All government officials want to do is take your money. They'll find 12 different ways from Sunday to find and reasons to just steal your money. And certain taxes are theft. I agree with this guy. I agree that property taxes, when you own your own property already theft, pure unadulterated theft. And that's why I asked because Desantis says if you own the property, they're looking to eliminate property taxes in the state of Florida. I say all the power to you. You have a quick one, Mad Dog. Yeah.

This next viewer gives his honest opinion.
- [48:28]
A
Hey, Eric, I'm a big fan of yours, but honestly, with these teases about the Edge, I personally, I'm getting turned off by him. I mean, whether it's going to be a podcast, a book, a movie, a show, depending on whatever it is, I'm not into these teases. You could just say you're coming out in September with something called the Edge. Give a commercial. But to me, these teases turn me off. I'm just being honest. And I love you. When you were on Fox and I followed you, I was so happy when you came over the real America's Voice. I think you're doing a bang up job. I love your editorials and your comments, but this tease is not every day is not doing anything for me turning me off. Anyways, I still love you and God bless you and keep up the great work. All right, take care. Bye.
- [49:21]
B
All right, well, the good news is I still love you too. And it's only a week away. A week from tomorrow, the Edge goes live and and you'll find out exactly what it is. There's a reason for it. It's didn't want it out too soon. It's real new, it's unique. And I'm gonna love, love doing a Mad Dog. I didn't even tell Mad Dog what it is yet. Mad Dog doesn't even know what it is. No one knows. They're very. Those. I can count on one hand how many people know exactly what the edge is. I'm on the edge about the edge. He was on the. You guys are on the edge about the edge. All right. We love those voicemails. Keep them coming. I will hear them all, I promise. Bannon's war room is coming up next. I will see you again.
