Want to get more work done with less effort on TikTok. Creators are sharing AI automation tips that save time and deliver better results. Tap to Discover. Try Tik Tok now. All right, take a look at that. Rollins. Whatever that I can't really see it. And that's not Rawlings the baseball. I may have no idea what Rollins is there. Maybe it's a truck. Isn't there? Rollins Trucking Co. Perhaps. I don't know. Here's the bottom line. It's closed. Markets closed on Broaden Wall all over the board again today. People are very, very skittish traders waiting to see what's going to come out of this big meeting with Xi Jinping and President Trump in Beijing and of course the tech titans that came along for the ride as well. A lot of things going to be discussed I hear. I hear AI is going to be discussed. Energy will be discussed. Trump said he didn't want this Iran war to overshadow all the other discussions. So we're going to get into that in just a minute. But with a guy who knows a thing or two, let's just say about the red wave, tsunami, let's call it that. Right. Okay. In the meantime, markets down a little bit in the Dow. Up a little bit. 300 actually nice move towards the end of the day. It was up a little most the day. Nasdaq ran up towards the end. 300 higher in the day. Oil dropped a dollar. Again, very, very quiet trading. When you're trading this type of volume and size and volatility, a dollar move in oil not that big. Normal times, pretty big. Not now. Gold up a touch and bitcoin moved down. Everything else is going the right bitcoin says, you know, we've had a lot of fun. We've been good for a few days. Let's go down now. Bitcoin back down almost 2,000, down to 79, 000 or so. But when there are supply constraints on commodities, oil, helium, other things like that, prices surge. You saw it with fuel prices when the straight Hormuz was blockaded. It's still blockaded. And you know what else is a limited commodity?
Caller/Viewer
Gold.
Eric
There's only a certain amount of gold. They'll never make more gold. It doesn't doesn't become some sort of plant and grow. It's what's there is there. They just mine it out of the ground. And when it's gone. It's gone. Governments can't just print more of it. And that's why everyone from central banks to savvy investors and savers are diversified with gold. If you've been thinking about it for years, but never actually move some of your money or savings into physical gold, Birch Gold Group is the one I trust to do mine. I hope they trust. I trust them to help me through the whole process. And guess What? Now, through May 29, the end of this month, Birch Gold is having a first time gold buyers rebate of up to $10,000 on qualifying purchases. For details and an absolutely free information kit on diversifying into gold gold, text the word America to the number 989-898. That's America to 989-898. First gold can help you convert an existing IRA or 401K into a tax sheltered IRA in gold, physical real gold, they hold it for you. Text America to the number 989-898 to see if you qualify for a first time gold buyer rebate again of up to $10,000. That word is America texted to 989-898 today. First guest is the CEO of Black Ops Partners Corporation. His expertise is sought after by domestic and foreign governments, Congress, the Pentagon, the Department of Justice and the FBI. His new book, the Red Tsunami, the silent storm killing your freedom. Out now. Happy to have Casey Fleming back with us. Casey, this morning we saw we woke up to President Trump, Air Force One landing a bunch of tech titans on the plane with him and others going to sit down, going to talk with Xi Jinping. What do you expect to come out of this? What do you think the purpose of this is? I know Trump was going to do it earlier. He put it off till now thinking maybe that the war would be over by now. It's not. What are your thoughts on this meeting?
Casey Fleming
It's really just a diplomacy move. You still have a stalemate on a global stage and this is just a diplomacy move. Trump's going to want to see, you know, large big deals. There's, there's talk of $1 trillion worth of CCP investment into the United States. That will never happen. They've never honored any commitment they've ever made in the past. Why would they honor this one if it is $1 trillion? Trump wants big deals. Trump wants to show that that dial is moving to bring business back to the US but that's very counter what the CCP strategy is moving forward. So in my opinion, it's all a bunch of window dressing. The Severe rivalry will still exist under the table and everybody will be happy faces and smiling the next couple of days.
Eric
You know, it's interesting as well. I've seen President Trump do this before. He'll go to some, he'll go to the Middle east and talk about a trillion dollars worth of investment that's, that's coming to the United States. Obviously, we know, you and I both know a lot of world leaders make a lot of promises until they write the actual check. It's hard to believe. Even if the President said it's coming, I want it to be coming. But my problem is, is this a little bit of a, hey, look over here. There's a very shiny trillion dollar object over here from China. Meanwhile, the elephant in the room literally is blocking the straight of Hormuz and our oil price is $101 a barrel still 74 days in. Is it to divert attention from that or is there going to be some discussion hard, you know, ideas coming out of that to solve the straight of Hormuz issue problem?
Casey Fleming
Well, this trip has been planned for several months, so it was on the calendar and it needed to happen. Trump could have said, hey look, we're going to postpone this until I'm done with Iran. But he didn't do it. Remember, the Chinese Communist Party has a strategic partner in Iran and the irgc. They've been pumping up the IRGC for the past dozen plus years with everything as far as strategic military equipment, military training, helping build manufacturing capability and boring inside of mountains and underground weapons systems, drone navigation, solid rocket fuels, all that type of stuff. The elephant in the room when you're talking Iran is the Chinese Communist Party. They are strategic partners. So the CCP does not want the IRGC to fail. In fact, all the negotiations, all wreak of CCP negotiations, all of the back and forth and so on with, with the irgc. So it's a, it's a conundrum. CCP does not want the IRGC to lose Hormuz or to lose the nuclear option on the desk or lose power inside of Iran. They want to keep that oppression going. So it's all basically a lot of just is happening this week is a lot of staging.
Eric
Casey. One of the most important things I think on the table should be, and I don't know a lot of people are talking about this, but the, the U.S. the petrodollar, right. And for the history as long as I've known it, the US Dollar has been the currency that every single country on the globe trades Their oil. Whether the US involved is involved in the buy or sell side of it or not, they have to come to us for our dollars. They buy our dollars, which helps support our dollar. There's been recent rumblings of either using the yuan as the new currency for trading petrol, petroleum and petroleum products around. Horrible. Or we know the BRICS nations would like to see their currency or basket of their currencies being that same vehicle to trade international commodities such as oil. And by the way, once you go oil, you're going to do soybeans, you can do corn, you can do every single commodity on the planet. So how do you leverage this meeting to say, Xi Jinping, I'll make some deals with you, but you got to back off this idea of removing the dollars as the tradable currency.
Casey Fleming
He might get a temporary reprieve on that, but the CCP is committed to dethroning the United at the top of the world order and replacing the United States with the ccp. And it's a complete winner take all. We must live, you must die. So you have to understand that's who your enemy really is behind this whole thing. We've noticed initially with the war, after it taught the Iran war, after it started, the Iranians and the IRGC wanted to clear those ships, those initial ships in Chinese Yuan. And we're pushing for that to still be, as you said, US dollars. So this whole thing is, like I said, it's staging. We couldn't be more at odds between the two countries, the US and the Chinese Communist Party. Notice I don't call it China or the prc. I call it the Chinese Communist Party as what it is. We're not at war with the Chinese people. The CCP is at war with the United States in an unrestricted war manner. And now we're actually doing a hot war, a conventional military hot war with China and Iran. The ccp, I'm sorry, the ccp and Russia with Iran as the face to that. So it's a proxy war that we're in. People need to understand that we think
Eric
this idea, and this has been floated by some of the more tuned in people in the oil, oil industry. I know all of them. I traded with them for 35 years. The idea is this, that right now the United States, we just talked about how much we're exporting. Right now. The states is exporting 14 million barrels a day, the highest we've ever exported out of this country. Meanwhile, we still have to buy 7 million barrels to meet our own needs. And the reason that they're saying now is that there's some sort of wink in a nod or maybe some sort of communication going back and forth. The US and ccp, China, Xi Jinping, we're going to put more of our oil out in the market because we have, we have a lot of oil. And the rest of the world is suffering. You're suffering China, but also China stop pulling the oil off the world markets start draining some of your strategic petroleum reserve. So if China stops pulling five and we push out five more, which we are, the world global price for oil remains tenable. Let's call $100, $100 here, 108 in Europe tenable. It could be a lot higher. Your thoughts on that? That. Is that conspiracy, or is that possible?
Casey Fleming
It is possible, but the CCP will never play that game. Remember, they are. Everything that they do, they're playing the long game is to unwind the United States and the world order and freedom, if you will, and replace it with communism and total totalitarian control. That's what's really going on. We want China to come, and Trump basically said we want China to come over to the US and get their gas from our gas station and not Iran. But remember, all this is also happening where China is actually using a lot of their smaller refineries to help process Iran, still process Iranian oil. They're still resupplying Iran. So all of this is part of a global stage and a global attack from the CCP on the West. And that can never be understated to what's going on. So, like this, like I said, this entire thing right now is window dressing and all these stopgap measures. As far as we produce another five and China will produce another five. Or, you know, the other piece of it is the American people can take, take down their consumption maybe by 10%. That would also help quite a bit. But don't forget, the longer game here is what the CCP is playing real quick about.
Eric
Less than a minute or so. Kasey, what. What in your mind? I mean, I know what people would like to see and what Trump would like to see, but what in Casey's mind would be a, a win coming out of this meeting?
Casey Fleming
Well, everything that's on the table from the US Basically, you know, we want them to buy more Boeing airplanes, we want them to buy more soybeans. We want them to, you know, not want our top line AI chips, all that stuff. So and so we want big trade, big deals. We want them to take Taiwan off the table. That's not. They want us to leave Taiwan on the table and all that.
Eric
That's a huge one. I mean it's just need one more minute to control them because that is the for me, that would be the biggest win of all that China says. You know what Taiwan our eyes on the prize for Taiwan. You, you're not going to go for Taiwan. China one China theory because they they Taiwan produces something like 85 of the global chips. And and if they got it, forget the AI battle, they won it. If they do, hands down, that may be the only win coming out of this for me. Would you disagree?
Casey Fleming
No, I totally agree. The AI is the Manhattan Project of our time. We are in a war. It's an unrestricted war. It's got some hot connections with the Iranian war and China and Russia. But you know, we are in a war. Make no mistake, the CCP redefined what war was 30 years ago. And it's everything short of military to weaken your enemy from the inside for total takeover. And yes, I'll say it again, the man with that war that's been lingering on everybody's doorstep, the Manhattan Project of our time in the war of our time is AI So whoever controls AI is going to control the future.
Eric
Yep. Control the chips. And by the way, AI uses a lot of energy chips. Taiwan energy. Straightforward moves, two big plays there. Casey Fleming, CEO of Black Ops Partners. Thank you for joining us. Get you back again soon. Thank you. You.
Casey Fleming
Thank you.
Eric
Okay, folks, take a peek at that. Wall street setting fresh records. New highs on strong corporate earnings and AI euphoria momentum. But Main street sending a different signal completely. Inflation remains stubborn, high elevated on the wrong path, especially in energy. And consumers are clearly pulling back. Travel is a great example. Forecasts now show very, very modest growth for the rest of this year with even higher income travelers choosing shorter trips and better value. I'm seeing it firsthand. Quieter restaurants, bars, hotels and beaches in South Florida. Almost ghost towns at times. That's why I've moved about 60% of my own portfolio into treasuries yielding around 4% while I wait for the picture to get more clear. The rally has real legs from corporate performance, no doubt, but the consumer is always and now the ultimate referee. Stay disciplined, favor quality companies and by all means, trade with your head, not over it. This is the Edge. Let me know your thoughts, but you have to subscribe to do that. Come on.

Alrighty folks, my next guest, by the way, he's a friend of mine. I can say that right up front. I think, I think this takes hierarchy. In this resume I'm about to present to you an actor, well known actor, director. You all know some of the stuff he's been in and directed. He's also a reserve police officer in Idaho for almost 10 years and Deputy sheriff by the way in Virginia. Also get this. Recently joined ice. Here's a new show on proud American studios called the Homeland. Always happy to have Dean came, my buddy with us, Mr. Superhero, Mr. Superman himself. Homeland. The Homeland's doing great. I'm proud American studios. And now you're an ICE agent on your way to becoming full fledged ICE agent. When you're busting the perps and you're gonna send them back, are they like oh no, El super Hombre? No, no, no. Are they like Dean came the Superman is coming after us or they, they take it seriously?
Dean Cain
Oh, they take it very seriously. But it's a good listen. But if that can de escalate, great. Let's get us into a conversation. Hang out as we cuff you. Perfect. But you know, I love to, to work with our men and women in uniform because they are her know that and, and you we see it every single day. Unfortunately, there's those politicians who are vilifying them all the time. I think it's, I think it's a police appreciation month and I think that's what we have going on right now, Law Enforcement Appreciation Month. So all heroes were being celebrated as we should be, as they should be. That's the reason I joined up because I wanted to work with a bunch of people keeping America safe for truth, justice in the American way.
Eric
Oh, I know that line from somewhere. Dean, you were in D.C. recently. I saw a couple of pictures around that. You, you had met up with Pete Heath, also a very good friend of a very, very good friend of my former colleague, but also Gork and others. You did a couple of shows for the Homeland. Tell us about what that was about and what it was like.
Dean Cain
What's awesome. First of all, that we got over 12 million views last week on these, on these interviews and such, which is wonderful. You know, some you can't always be in your studio in Florida. You got to get out sometimes. Even though as nice as it might be, my friend, sometimes, you know, you end up in other places. And being in D.C. this time was wonderful. I was doing a number of different things out there. So it was really worked well to have the homeland go out there. Secretary Hegseth is a great man. I love what he's been doing with our military. I'm so happy to see him in that position. I think he was born for it. If you cut him open, he'd bleed red, white and blue. And he's just doing such a phenomenal job as Secretary of War. I couldn't be more proud to call him the Secretary of War and more proud to call him a friend. I love what he's done and the insights that he gave me when we spoke were pretty, pretty amazing. I sat down with our EPA administrator, Lee Zeldin, who uncovered some incredible stuff. The stuff they're doing there at the EPA and dropping regulations. Incredible. What a smart man he is, who really knows his stuff. I really enjoyed speaking with him. Sebastian Gorka, who's the head of our counterterrorism, dropped some serious knowledge because he just dropped a brand new entire strategic book on counterterrorism and the way this administration is going to handle it, which I think is the right way to handle it. And then I sat down with our acting Attorney General Todd Blanch, who really has come out of the gates man on fire.
Public Investing Ad
He.
Dean Cain
He took over for Pam Bond Bondi recently. She had been creating these cases. But the stuff he's doing is the kind of stuff people are screaming online all the time about. Okay, great. We've heard about all these horrible things that took place. Let's see some prosecutions. Well, the prosecutions are a common. It was an Incredible week in D.C. i prefer to be home. D.C. is the swamp. But just like that reflecting pool out there in front of the Lincoln Memorial. Between the Lincoln Memorial and the White House, I think. I mean the Lincoln and the. And the. And the Washington. More. That whole reflecting pool, that swamp got cleaned out. That's a great metaphor for President Trump. Show it before and after. And that's what our government would look like.
Eric
The Capitol, the whole structure, the whole area was built literally on a swamp. It was. I wrote a book about the Dean. So Pete Hegseth. I contend that I think he's doing an amazing job. I would love to see the guy at least throw his hat in 2028 for president. However, I think there's a more important job for him and it would be running the state of Minnesota. I would love to see people as governor of Minnesota. And Lee Zeldin. Is there any. Was there any indication at one point he was Floated as potentially the replacement for the long term replacement for Pam Bondi rather than Todd Blanche. Did you get any sense of either one of those might get that job?
Dean Cain
It was funny. I got the sense that they both were completely committed to what they were doing. I don't know if I didn't ask Acting Attorney General Blanche whether he was going to, whether he wanted that post or position because that to me that didn't seem what was most important at the time. Administrator Zeldin. Man, he knows his facts and knows it all so well. It's one of those things where you like, if you have an all star guy in a position that is so important for regulations and for business and for our health, like you don't want him to go anywhere, stay there for a while and get that job done. I didn't get any sense that they were going for anything else.
Eric
But you got a star in the field. I don't know, shortstop, center field, who's tracking everything down. Don't. Don't make them catch because you need to catch.
Dean Cain
That's it.
Eric
Dean, you said you're home. You, you know you from your home and blah, blah, blah. You. This is what you care about. You came from California, if I'm not mistaken, to Nevada, to Las Vegas in California. I'd love to talk a little bit about what's going on there. First of all, you used to live in Cali, right?
Dean Cain
Yes, sir. Malibu, California. I was born in Detroit, Michigan, but I lived in California since I was 3 years old.
Eric
So, so wisely, 22 years wisely got out of that God forsaken state. But there's so much news in California. And let's start the mayor. The mayor's election right now. Karen Bass is still holding a lead, but boy, things have changed. There's a 51% undecided vote a couple of weeks ago. That's turned into a 19%. So 30. What? 2% of the undecided. Almost most of them. The number total, almost most of them have decided now more than half and maybe because of this. Dean, take a look at Spencer Pratt's one of his most recent videos and they're amazing. Watch.
Caller/Viewer
Please, I'm begging you.
Eric
There's homeless drug addicts in front of the schools. My children aren't safe.
Public Investing Ad
Look, if you were a transgender migrant,
Eric
I could get you a free. Let's move the drug addicts closer. Bass already solved crime. I endorse her.
Caller/Viewer
Maybe next.
Eric
Please, I just want to rebuild my home.
Dean Cain
It's been over a year, Mom, look.
Eric
And we're coming out a little early, Dean, because it goes on and on. There's a very popular little campaign ad. It really has moved the needle. Your thoughts on. On Spencer Pratt, television, reality star, you know, using the genre, using AI Marco Rubio was a bartender in one of those clips right there. Obviously, AI but your thoughts on the big swing in the vote in certainly Los Angeles. Does he have a chance?
Dean Cain
Well, first of all, I got to say, poor choice in superheroes. He chose Batman instead of Superman. But I understand it.
Eric
He couldn't get the guy. The guy was. He was in D.C. i think, when they were filming. I'm Tim. Go ahead.
Dean Cain
It's fair, it's fair, it's fair. But I'll tell you what. I think he has a shot. I think his debate performance really exposed Karen Bass for the fraud that she is and the Marxist and the communist that she is. And I think that that ad is brilliant. And it really sums up, you know, when the people are dragged up there and dropped in front of the mayor, it feels like you're. We're in the Hunger Games. And that's what the government in California feels like. So I think he has a real shot because of the fact that you can get this stuff out because we can be on Real America's Voice because we can put something on proud American Studios because people can pay attention to it. Because Elon Musk bought X, they would have. They would have outlawed those videos and thrown them off the platforms before deplatformed him. So the fact that these things are able to be out there and the free speech is out there. Thank you, Elon Musk, tremendously. I think he has a real shot and I love it. And I'd love to see it happen because I think there are so many people that I know who still live in California who feel like those people being dragged in front of the circus that they call the government in California. That's why I left. That's why I'm so happy to be here in Nevada. You're in the free state of Florida. You know, it's wonderful. And people are running out of California to other states because of that terrible governance.
Eric
Yeah, right. So Mark. Marky. Mark. Mark Wahlberg also left L. A, went to Las Vegas as well, and has recently moved to my. Literally, my neighborhood guy lives about 300 yards from my home. Maybe Dean Cain sees the light of the free estate in the Union Florida. Just throwing something out there.
Dean Cain
A property tax is going away would be a great. That's a great one.
Eric
We don't have state income tax. We have. I don't know if Nevada does. We don't have a state income tax.
Dean Cain
But we do have property taxes.
Eric
Well, we have that too.
Dean Cain
They might go away.
Eric
I know. Here's the thing. We're running a $2 billion budget surplus with no state income tax. California is running an 8, 6 to 8 billion dollar deficit with the highest tax. It's how you manage it. DeSantis is doing a good job. Sunday, May 17th, you're gonna be in D.C. tell us about that. 250 Reddit.
Dean Cain
Rededicate. Rededicate. 250. It's a day of prayer and it's a day of patriotism and music and it's is to celebrate, you know, America, all the things that make this country worth fighting for. And I love this whole thing about I'm a man who, who has found his faith midway through my life and the birth of my son kind of changed the world for me. I was always searching for it at such an important thing. You know, for me it's. It's faith, family and, and country and that's it. God. It's God, country, God, family, country. I mean, it's the same stuff that Charlie Kirk had on his Turning Point USA shirt, which I have, and I believe in that through and through. And I love that we are celebrating it now under this administration as opposed to what if we would have been celebrating had it been the. The previous administration, we'd have had, you know, foreign countries flags flying and, and who knows how many other flags up there. This is amazing.
Eric
Yeah. The pride.
Dean Cain
I am all I love when Biden doing this. Remember Biden is cool again.
Eric
Remember Biden put the pride flag in the back of the White House and flanked it by the, the oh Glory US Flag which is against flag flag code all over the place. But very, very quick. Dean, they can. People can sign up and come see you. No charge for this event, is that right?
Dean Cain
That's my understanding. But I'm not running it. I'm just a. I'm just a. I'm just a participant, you know, So I love the idea that we're doing this. I think people can go to, you know, freedom250.org sign up, come and check it out. But I think it's going to be wonderful. There's so many wonderful people speaking and I think faith is, you know, one of the backbones of our country. And I'm not saying it has to be the Christian faith. Obviously we were founded on very Judeo Christian ideals. But, you know, all, all religions are welcome. But, but celebrate America. What a concept. Come and celebrate America and patriotism and the things that make us the greatest country in the history of the world.
Eric
All right, we're going to let go. But real quick, when you want, you want a 91 mile an hour slider across the middle of the plate that's tough to hit. You ready for? You want one? Ready. Ready.
Dean Cain
I'll wait on it.
Eric
J.D. j.D. Or Marco? Oh, man. You know what?
Dean Cain
I love both of them. And they're the two tightest. They're like, they're like best friends within the administration. So if we get either one or both of them, I love it to death. It's a funny thing is somebody asked me about this earlier, I was talking to them and they were like, you know, Marco Rubio is so good and so effective as Secretary of State. Like, I want him to stay there. So effective. I know we don't get to keep everybody in their spots forever, but I don't want to take a all star short stop and play him at catcher just because we need a catcher. J.D. vance has done an incredible job as Vice president and the way he's going after fraud and stuff is great. I, I don't know. I'll take either one of them with a bow.
Eric
I'll tell you what, it drifted a little outside. The umpire called it a ball. So you're safe. You take first. Based on. On a walk. Dean, thank you so much. Appreciate your time, brother.
Dean Cain
Always a pleasure, Eric.
Eric
Thank you, sir. Folks, we'll be back. Two and a half minutes. Well, every day Americans make choices that shape our country's future, right down to which cell phone provider we support and use.

Or call 972 Patriot. Make that switch today. All right. Election year always seems to equal a new virus. Just replace the COVID with Hanta and you have the latest craze meant to control us, to put the fear of science into every person on the planet. Luckily, however, we're all a lot smarter this time around, thanks to the sleuthing of someone who feels exactly the way the rest of us do about trusting what we think we see. The latest discovery may just leave you scratching your head just a bit. Watch this man pushing Covid vaccines and boosters like its job. Because maybe, just maybe, it is his job.
Hantavirus Man
Let's get vaccinated. Gorgeous vaccinated girls get boosted and gorgeous boosted girls get boosted again if you're eligible.
Eric
Now watch what looks like the same man who went viral for his video reportedly filmed from that hantavirus cruise ship where all this started. Let me stress reportedly, because everything, everything is doubt. Everything's on the table these days. No one knows what's what. It looks like that same man is crying about being stuck because of the hantavirus.
Hantavirus Man
I normally wouldn't make a video like this, but I feel like I need to say something, so I wrote a few things down. I am currently on board the MV Hondius and what's happening right now is very real for all of us here. We're not just a story. We're not just headlines. We're people.
Eric
All right, now. Now watch those two back to back and you tell me if they're the same or not.
Hantavirus Man
Let's get vaccinated. Gorgeous vaccinated girls get boosted and gorgeous boosted girls get boosted again if you're eligible. I normally wouldn't make a video like this, but I feel like I need to say something, so I wrote a few things down. I am currently on board the MV Hobbyists and what's happening right now is very real for all of us here.
Eric
Coincidence?
Raphael Warnock
I don't know.
Eric
I don't think so. This guy just happens to be a total vaxxer or is he a plant? You decide. Former South Carolina State Rep. This guy, Bakari Sellers, now a Democrat pundit and Democrat shill. Just another in A long line of his fellow party members who just can't handle it when they lose something. They pulled a race cart every time to try and keep elections going in their favor. And the fact that their time is up just driving him crazy.
Hakeem Jeffries
He was that there are people in
Eric
this country who fought, died and bled for the right to vote. Don't be just understanding something.
Caller/Viewer
Constitutions being upheld.
Eric
Yeah, he didn't heated up. It's all about that redistricting in South Carolina. Like he didn't like it doesn't matter how many times you utter the facts to a Democrat, they keep pounding out the same lies. They know that the new White House ballroom is funded by private donations and yet they know it. And yet they can continue to state the same lies because that's what desperation looks like to someone like Democrat New York Senator Chuck Schumer.
Casey Fleming
The Republican bill charges American taxpayers $1
Caller/Viewer
billion
Casey Fleming
to build Trump's gilded ballroom while including $0 to help Americans with rising costs. Their billion dollar bill has zero dollars to help Americans deal with groceries and their prices going up, gas prices going up, $0 to bring down Americans health care, housing and electricity.
Eric
I can't listen to this guy. Now he's worried about gas prices going up. Now he's worried about grocery prices going up. We're at 3.8% inflation announced yesterday. 3.8. Biden ran us up to 9.1% inflation in June of 2022. Did you hear one of these Democrats complained about gas prices or prices of groceries? It was almost triple what it is right now. Not a word, not a peep of Democrats but three point a third of what it used to be under Biden now. Oh, it's horrible. They're going to ruin the country. Actually let them eat cake. Is exactly what Democrats said during the shutdown of the at the end of the 2025 that stopped federal workers from being paid. And that's exactly what they said when they saw massive lines at airports because the DHS shutdown they created to stick it to Republicans. It's also what Joe Biden said to Americans when they suffered under the inflation of his policies and what they caused. So spare us the crocodile tears, Chucky. I'll tell you what, let's take a break. We'll come back with more of these. Katie Porter maybe up next, Customers, you want customer service in this country? Well, it's basically disappeared because half the time it isn't even this country. You're talking to when you pick up the phone and you need some help. Unless you're talking to these folks, the folks at Old Glory Bank. Amazing. When you call them, you get a range a real American on the phone. Not a robot, not someone reading a script halfway around the globe. A real person who actually understands you and your values. That's just one way they're bringing trust back to banking. If you're done with the big banks and their nonsense, it's time to switch to go to oldglorybank.com there's your oldglorybank.com rav. Make sure you add that/rav there and open your account. I literally opened my Old Glory bank bank account in five minutes or less, maybe even less. It takes two minutes to get you go online. Old Glory bank.com rev open account. Great folks. They're into crypto and they're the most patriotic group of people you'll ever meet. All right, back to the wacky world of Democrats. This is how you know just how bad Katie Porter is. She's a former Democrat congresswoman who wants to be governor of California. And she is a nightmare, folks. She's a nut job. She has a bad temper with everyone. Well, anyway, she's a top contender for some reason in the race for California governor. She's actually leading the race. And she's known for such things as pouring scalding hot potatoes over her husband's head and for reportedly being verbally abusive to her staff. And we've seen it on air. Seems like a gem. Even CNN's Dana Bash had to end an interview with Katie Porter by covering their hides because of the types of things she was saying. Watch.
Dana Bash
Congresswoman, thank you for coming on. I should note that there we don't have evidence that Steyer leaked that video of you. If you have it, please bring it. And also, you said some pretty tough stuff about Javier Becerra. If he wants to come back on the show, he is more than welcome to do that as well. Thank you for being here today. I appreciate it.
Caller/Viewer
Thank you.
Eric
So basically, Dana Bash at CNN threw her out the chair because she was making up stuff about her opponents. And by the way, those were Democrat opponents as well. Hakeem Jeffries clearly isn't taking things sitting down. Supreme Court has spoken is putting wrongs to right when it comes to voting in this country. The dollar store. Obama is now making threats to outright take over this country's courts if his party should regain power in November. I think that's called an insurrection period of time.
Hakeem Jeffries
We do have these structural problems that need to be addressed. We've got to, for instance, make sure we pass the John Robert Lewis Voting Rights Advancement act so we can end the era of voter suppression in the United States of America once and for all. We have to end Citizens United, dramatically reform our campaign finance laws to stop the ability of these deep pocketed special interests to intervene. And we are going to have to explore massive judicial reform state by state and at the federal level. And everything should be on the table as far as I'm concerned.
Eric
They're going to do it. They get the House back, they're going to impeach, impeach, impeach. So we're going to do make sure they don't get the Senate though, because if they get the Senate to Senate confirms impeachment. It's a long process, but you don't want them to have either one. That's why elections matter. That's why gasoline prices need to come down now. Trump get prices down now. The independent voters are leaning left right now because the gas prices, we toss Biden out of office because of that. Let's get the gas price down today. Some members of the Democrat Party are known for stoking racial division more than others. All of them do it, mind you, but some do it to such an extent that they end up insulting black Americans in the process. Like pushing out the notion that black Americans can't get a government ID because they don't know how to use the Internet or function in the most basic ways in society. Or Barack Obama scolding black men to vote for Kamala Harris. Remember that one? Well, here, Georgia Democrat Senator Raphael Warnock suggests that somehow black men can't even think for themselves everyday.
Raphael Warnock
People know that the system is stacked against them. They know it in their bones. And they, they don't always have the words, you know, that we want to use.
Eric
They know it. Do they feel like they can change it?
Raphael Warnock
They feel it, Yeah. I think that's that, you know, some, you know, that's the thing. Do people feel empowered to change it? And I do think that there are a lot of people who feel powerless, which is why they signed up for Donald Trump. You asked me that question earlier. Let me ask it, answer it more directly. I think that there are, there are people and I do think it's overstated. Donald Trump didn't have this whole huge slew of black men voting for them. I think part of that was a game they played during the election in 24. I think they were trying to create a mission, structure a bandwagon so people would, would jump on it.
Eric
But.
Raphael Warnock
But they were not. They were no, overwhelming. It was one is too many. But they were overwhelming numbers of black men for Donald Trump.
Eric
What is it with these people? Listen, what are they doing, man? You remember when Biden was running for in 2020 and he was on a podcast and he said, if you don't vote, if you don't. To a black man, if you don't vote for me, you ain't black. Jack. Remember that one? Or when Newsom said to a group of black African American people at one of his things, well, I'm like you, I. Low SAT scores. Like assuming they all had low SAT scores, these people, these Democrats, God forbid a Republican says, or Trump says it, they would just go apoplectic, bigoted, racist, blah, blah, blah. But they say it. I don't know, they look the other way. There was others, Obama saying, if you don't vote for Kamala in slang dialect with a bunch of young black guys. It's just insulting, isn't it? Step up, guys. Figure out who's your better president that give you better economic opportunity. It's clearly Republicans, not Democrats. It's not just Gavin Newsom's hair that's slippery. So in his defense, when asked about how expensive cost of living is in the state of California under his leadership, when CNN's Dana Bash points it out to him and talks about the mass exodus from the Golden State, he does what any other lying Democrat would do. Well, he lies, deflects.
Dana Bash
California has the highest cost of living in the nation. The State's prices are 11% higher than the national average. We were actually out to dinner here in Nashville last night. We met a couple from California. They moved out of California because they couldn't afford the rent or even to buy a home and also start a family.
Eric
Yeah, we've had hundreds of thousands of people move in California last two, three years. We've seen population growth, as you know. We moved from six to the fourth largest economy in the world. And we dominate now in every key industry, from AI, Quantum, robotics. We dominate in ag. We dominate for stream.
Dana Bash
People are struggling to afford things like your mom was.
Eric
So he lied. He didn't deflect. He actually lied there. He said, we've had hundreds of thousands of people move into the state. Of course you did, but you had many more, hundreds of thousands that have left. They had a mass exodus. Florida gained, Texas gained, California lost. And that's what the truth is. Do they have a massive economy? Of course they do. They have like the third or fourth largest economy in the world. If you separate California, that doesn't mean people aren't leaving. It's just a huge state with a lot of resources. They've gotten amazing resources throughout that whole state, and they're somehow figuring out a way to be bankrupt, broke, and have people move out. Just to get a little context. To the level of gaslighting that Democrat Congressman James Clyburn is known for, here's a little flashback to him defending Joe Biden's obvious mental decline.
James Clyburn
Joe Biden has a history of stuttering. He did that as a child. All of us know how stutterers operate. I went to school with one. So when you have trouble getting out a word, that is what comes from stuttering. But when he expressed opinions, he was on the money with the opinions. He may not have gotten the word out, but the thoughts were great.
Eric
He did it then and he does it now. Listen, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. He called the Supreme Court's decision to weaken the Voting Rights act, as it were, quote, another step towards resurrecting the Jim Crow. South Georgia Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock said it was a, quote, 21st century version of Jim Crow in new cross clothes. Do you agree?
James Clyburn
Absolutely, I agree. So much so that I've been saying this now for the last four or five years, and people have been looking at me as if I'm crazy or something.
Eric
I've been lying for the last four or five years, and people look at me like, jim, you're consistently lying, but you are. I got to get these two. These are amazing. Walgreens lost $1 million on just one store in Chicago alone. One single store lost a million dollars in 2025 alone due to theft. They spent $400,000 on security, and they've finally given up, and they're closing that store after suffering those massive losses. We've seen videos. People walking in, usually homeless people, usually a minority. I'll be honest with you. Walking in, stealing stuff, walking out. It's insane. According to Chicago Alderman William hall, they should face charges. Walgreens should face charges for shutting their own damn store. Listen, Walgreens should be charged with first degree corporate abandonment. It should be a crime the way they're treating our elders. Yeah, it should be a crime the way they're treating our families. A crime to stop losing money. Your own store, your own company, you. This is the problem with government. They think they own everything. It's a private business. You don't have the right to tell them what to do, what not to do. Certainly not prosecute Them for closing a store that lost money. You, Martin, you idiot. Listen to this. A resident taking it a step further because she hears these people say this kind of crap, blaming the store and not the thieving thugs who left Walgreens with no choice.
Community Member
This place isn't just a store on this corner. This.
Dean Cain
This.
Community Member
This place is a lifeline for many people in this community. And for them to just say they're just going to leave like that and leave us with nothing is unacceptable. This Walgreens has been here for decades. And for decades, the people in this community have been patronizing this place. And for you guys to just leave us like this, it's very unacceptable. It's unacceptable to these children.
Eric
This burns me so much because that woman, that moron, listened to that politician and thinks somehow Walgreens owes them a store there. And then they have the gall to. To not to look the other way. The thugs that are stealing it blind stealing, they're just ripping them off. A Walgreens isn't going to lose money in a store that's not ridden with theft or have have to spend half a million dollars on security. Get out of here. It's a private business. You want it so badly, protect your own damn store in your own damn neighborhood. It. Latoya Latonya Williams. I'm sorry, Latonya. Two and a half minutes. I'll calm down. All right, who do we have on Voice of God and the voice of God voice into the. The show Voice of God is when you hear it in the studio. And a funny story. It used to be Mad Dog over there and then was Ben. Today it's Colin. Hey, what's up, Colin?
Dean Cain
What's up?
Eric
Remember you want to do this? Remember Voice of God, Mad Dog to his. To his credit, he didn't know what voice of God meant. It's an old, old school term in tv. But remember we said voice of God in the first time? Remember what he did the first? He said it like he was God. I was like, go to bird. That was funny. Anyway, let's do a couple voicemails. Yes. First one we got is viewers very is not very happy about Somalians in Minnesota.
Caller/Viewer
Yes, sir. I call you several times. I live in New Albany, central Ohio. I'm watching America's Voice. This is Monday morning, May 11th. They got the showing pictures that Omar from up there in Minnesota with her towels wrapped around her nougat. Why do they show that idiot on tv? This is America. They come to America. They need to be American. They need to give her a ticket and a hundred thousand of those Samoans and send them back to Mugadishu. Now. She don't belong here. She's up here feeding all those God on the God damn door. You know, this stinks. I'm tired of paying taxes to feed a bunch of goons that killed soldiers in Mogadishu. Black Hawk Down. Let's talk about Black Hawk down in Somalia. You know what I'm saying? Something needs to be done. You need to talk to Mr. Steve Bannon and to Mr. Trump about these J up there in Minnesota, in Columbus, Ohio. We got 40,000 of those goons here. They want to live their own way. They want us to convert to their bull. Not me. I'm sorry. I've worked in their homes. I've worked in the businesses. Those people hate Americans. Time to get rid of them. Thanks for listening. I pray I enjoy your show and I joy Steve.
Eric
Amen. You are speaking volumes to the people who we talk to and we hear. And you're right. Did you hear this today? Another Somalian, another Somalian in Minnesota got caught stealing a million dollars worth of EBT cards. They were taking EBT cards from people he was going to like Costco using them there and coming back and selling him in his store. Another million dollars of fraud. There is so much fraud in that state. He that city in that state. And you're right. Why is it always a Somalians get blackhawk down, Brother Colin. All right, next one is viewer made a bet on Polymarket.
Caller/Viewer
Eric Bolden this Charles from Georgia. I don't use a bed but I made a bet today on the poly market. I bet $50 it was 20 to 1 that James Comey would not go to jail. I bet 50 bucks that he won't go to jail. That's a good bet, I think because we ain't had no perp walks. Thanks.
Eric
Oh, man. I'm a better. You know I'm better. I'm on Polymarket. I'm caching. I'm on all the betting sites. I hard rock bet. But on the betting sites you can bet these things. You get 21 and 50 for for call me. I want a thousand of that. I want 10 grand of that. I'll take 20 to 1 on 10k that Comey doesn't spend a day behind bars and not they don't have trust in Trump or Cash Patel or whoever the attorney general is at the time. It's because DC Swamp is a freaking swamp. No one goes to jail. That's why it keeps happening over and over again. There's no accountability. Oh yeah, let's have a hearing, let's testify. Where were you on the night of. Okay, you're caught red handed. Guess what? Where's the jail time? None. There's a lot others besides Comey too, by the way, that should and probably won't. I'll take that bet. I don't know if. Colin, we don't have time for another one now. Let's just talk about this for a second. Would you take 20 to 1 on 50 bucks that James Comey never sees a day behind bars?
Dean Cain
Yeah, I would.
Eric
Yeah. And I know that you probably would
Dean Cain
bet against my jets this year too.
Eric
The Jets? Yeah. So I got friends, I got Matt Rhodes who loves the Jets. He never stops talking about the jets, the Jets, Jets. He tells me all of the, the, the picks. I said, matt, there are two things that matter. Doesn't matter any of that stuff. It matters how they play, how they work, chemistry together on the field. And number two, are they self centered like I need to put up numbers or are they. Let's get this. The winning teams are team mentality. The losing teams have stars that are all worried about their own batting averages or their own touchdowns numbers. So don't bet the jets yet. Not say never, just not yet. Have a good day, folks. Forums coming up next. Bannon's on fire.
