Lives and how they did things that perhaps make a difference. But current politics i just finished reading alter egos a story about the relationson between secretary clinton and president obama and particularly related to National Security and state department kind of issues. Two rivals in the prim mary who come together in the same administration, and so an opportunity to get a feel for what was going on in washington, dc, a place i work, but certainly dent have the insight behind the curtains in the white house and state department in this administration. Another National Security book, just read this summer, michael hayden, former National Security director, talking about the space what we face with the terrorism and its threats and so this is called playing to the edge, about his time at the cia. So, again, same kind of venue. Mostly history. As i say sometimes current things, lincolns boys caught any attentionment read it this summer. Its the story of john hey john hay and john nikolai two individuals president lincoln met, before he was president , met inible, and they came with him and the story of their lives as two young men working in the lincoln administration, particularly during the civil war ask then what happened in their lives afterwards. So, again i like to read history. Less interested in the battlefield, but much more interested in the people that served in that capacity. Then my Favorite Book of the summer has been hamilton and i defended ron cher now is a great author and im going to look for his books to continue to read and i have several of them i have not red and now interested in doing so. This caught my attention because of the musical. The musical, hamilton is based upon this book, and happened to see it sitting in a book store, and interested to see what caught in seasons, todays culture, todays audience, with a musical, based upon the life of alexander hamilton, our first treasury secretary. And so this is the one i enjoyed the most. Unfortunately the longest and thickest and often turns out to by they way itch complain the thick books seem to be the best.

On june 17th, 2015, south carolinians, dylann roof, white, unemployed 21yearold, high school dropout, was on a mission to take his country back. Ever since George Zimmerman walked out of the courthouse a free man after killing Trayvon Martin and the nation debated the verdict, roof looked to understand the history of america. Trolling through the internet. He stumbled across the council of conservative citizens, ccc, the progeny of the 1950s White Citizens Council nat terrorized black people, closed schools, and worked hand in hand with State Government to defy first civil rights laws. But the despite the groups avowed racist belief system and a quarter mid to late 1990s see the Sovereign Poverty Law Center reports the group posted of having 34 members in the Mississippi Legislature and had powerful Republican Party allies, including then Senate Majority leader trend lot of mississippi. By 22004, mississippi government hailey barber was chair of the Republican National committee, and 37 other powerful politicians had all attended ccc events in the 21st century. Earl hold, the chair of the dr. Cc gave 56,000 to Republican Campaign funds in recent years, including donations to the 2016 president ial campaigns of rand paul, rick santorum, and ted cruz. The ccc then enjoyed precisely the cache of respectablity that racism required too achieve its own goals within american society. And its web site of hatred and lies provided the selfserving education dylann roof so desapparatusly craved. He drank in the poison of its message. Got into his car, drove to charleston, entered Emanuel Ame Church and lanked in a bible study, with a group of africanamericans who were the very model of respectability, roof prayed with them. Read the bible with them. Thought they were so nice. Then he shot them dead. Leaving just one woman alive so that she could tell the world what he had done and why. Youre taking over our country, he said, and he knew this to be true. Not even a full month after dylann roof ducked down nine africanamericans at immanuel amn charleston, south carolina, republican president ial frontrunner, donald trump, fired up his silent majority audience of thousands into lie 2015, with a promise, dont worry, well take our country back. You can watch this event and others on booktv. Org. All right. Wear wedding to get started. Again, thank you for coming. Thank you for your patience.

Bolling is a cohost on the high live rated show the five and his own Weekend Program cashing in i and appears on other fox programs including substituted host for bill oreilly. Join in the in mcing eric bolling. [applause] how is everyone doing tonight . Everyone good . Can you hear me . Yes . One, two, one, two, got it . Boy, you guys are die hard. Came out on a friday of a holiday weekend. Good job. Appreciate that. So, a little historied of the book. Nine years ago i came over from cnbc and had a conservative viewpoint and a lot of people started enjoying the version of conservativism i was bringing and they always asked me, can you what you do on these shows i have a show called wake up america, and they said we like that. Can you write those dont and make a newsletter, do something with those . And can you make a put them together, compile them into a book. I said ill write a book when the time is right, and for year is put it off. Until the publisher came to me a year ago and said this is the time. Look whats going on in the political climate, and looked like there would be a bunch of people running for president on re republican side and on the democrat side. Thought maybe this is about the right time. In the middle of it i realized that president obama had been so aggressively bringing the country to the left that someone had to step up, someone had to do something to make sure we stopped the slide and brought us back to center and maybe to right. So i believe in my deep down heart of hearts, that the conservative viewpoint, the values and viewpoints conservatism brought to us this place 240 years of success, power, economic might, and we needed to not vary from that and stay on track help said famously issue want to fundamentally transform america and then three weeks later we elected him anyway, which is amazing to me. So put the i start writing the book and just flowed. It was amazing. Sat down, started writing virtue. I started with the trying to figure out the Core Principles of conservativism. I got through what i felt were comfort my what the the basis of the core agenda that we conservative agenda we needed to get back to and thin then realized it was so frankly easy to write is because of president obama. He has brought us so far left, theres into many things to write about. Start the book with how many times you can fall down and pick yourself back up and make sure you keep going. Over the last seven ore eight years, or ten years, youre taught if you fall down, dont worry, government will take care of you. If you lose your job, dont worry wimpll provide more and more up employment insurance. If you cant afford obamacare well get you health care. If you cant afford your apartment, we rep help you i with your residenter. Food stamps, 50 increase under president obama alone. So these things kept i kept writing them, so, at the end of writing, the publisher said who few want to dedicate the book to . I had already written my acknowledge. S, my beautiful wife is under one and then inwent through family and people in my life, roger ailes, mark fisher, who grew up somewhere around here, in the area. So i said, im going to dedicate this book to president obama because he is the reason it was so easy to write, and he is the i honestly think hes the reason why its doing so well. [applause] on the back of the book you can see names. Sent this book to some of the most important people, the most influence people in the life who taught me about republicanism, conservativism, americanism. Bill oreilly, had to be first. I like hosting his show. Sean hannity. A great show. Tonight theres a big special about the clinton scandals. Going to be fantastic. Real expose say. I sent the book to donald trump and ive known him for men years. You in the watch fox, you know im fan of donnell nadal. And i sent the book to him and he sent me back a quote and i was like thrilled to put it up on the back of the book. Mash cuban, now a lot of people think he may not be conservative. In fact Hillary Clinton said she actually talked to mark cuban about a potential vicepresidency, nominates him said no, not going to happen. The is a great guy, of the. What a get success israel. And mark levin, a great man. One of my most influential influences in my spire life. So those are the people who wrote book quotes for me. Dedication was to president obama. So im almost done now and im reading this and say i have to start and end with something itch want something impactful to start with so we can grab some attention, and a couple friends of mine and i got together and we came up with this idea of lets portrait happened to be finishing watching an end receive of the walking dead. I said start with an apock liptive beginning so we start with Hillary Clinton raising her hand as president clinton, president 45. Al gore is there, the second of energy, al sharpton, secretary of education, and Bernie Sanders, the socialist, the communist, i the senior economic adviser to hillary so i had this doom and gloom ending and intending if i dont want to spoil it but done have to be this way. I think it really grips you. And then i thought, is this too ridiculous and then i looked back where we were then and now and how far left we have gone, and hates not that ridiculous. So its a warning, and its also a road map to bringing what believe is success and conservatism back to the country, right now, because if you have Hillary Clinton presidency, youre not going to get the Supreme Court back the federal judges back, not going to be obamacare back, not going to get if from affirmative action become. Conservativism is, its an unheard voice of the last probably decade. Its time, and the book came out at the right time, and im thrilled you guys came out to celebrate the book with me. So at that, lets bring open up some questions. Everyones got to have a question. Yes, sir, mr. Polo. [laughter] [inaudible] oh, yeah. Well wait for the mic. Give these guys a chance to get the mic to you. [inaudible] you can have as many as you want. Young, the first thick you know, the first thing id like to ask you about is whats your opinion regarding the far right and the ultraconservatives and how theyre really just not getting behind the republican agenda as in donald trump . Theyre just not getting it that if they dont, were looking at the doomsday scenario that you address in the first half a dozen pages of your book . Right, right. So let me agree with you and disagree with you. I think youre absolutely spot on saying unless you ignite the Republican Party, its Hillary Clinton. So you cant have paul ryan, mitt romney, even people like george will and bill kristol saying i cant get behind mitt romney behind donald trump. I will disagree with you in calling them the far right. I think theyre almost liberal, those people. Theyre rinos. I get in trouble on tv sometimes when i call people rinos, because i get emails, hey, hes a republican. Youre right though. We need to absolutely get them on board, either it will be potus 45, ms. Clinton. Yeah. Anyone else . We gotta everyone has to ask a question. Its the rule. Sir. This guy, sir. [inaudible] i was shocked when i saw you here. That was taped. On wednesday. I thought she was going to air it wednesday. She said, oh, by the way, im airing this friday, and im on the train on the way here, oh, youre on greta right now. I am . [laughter] i love george bush, but he was wrong when he said certain things about a certain religion and that he didnt veto any spending bills. If trump gets elected, the republicans cant stand up against obama when its so right to stand against him. My concern is i think either president will be fine, trump better, but the real problem is getting good republicans who will stand up for the principles that youre talking about and do when they say something, do something. Like a ted cruz. Im going to be voting for ted cruz in november. And i hope trump beats hillary. In new york state youre going to vote for ted cruz . Well, because im just curious. My vote never counts, so see, i dont buy that. Your vote has to count. Well, my vote is going to tell republicans after four years, after four years help me out here. Thats the mentality that i think is scaring, its scaring me [inaudible] i still thinkif you believe so, what, youre an independent . [inaudible] against the party. I really, i cast my vote as to, for the delegates to go in december to vote for them. So if Hillary Clinton is indicted after the delegates are elected, in december the delegates are going to have to make a decision do they want to vote for Hillary Clinton whos indicted so you really want another democrat, is what youre youre going to hold out im trying to figure out well, i hope trump wins over Hillary Clinton. Help me out here. Who do you want to be the president . Well, i wanted ted cruz to be the president [laughter] barring a ted cruz presidency i would want trump to beat hillary. So vote for him. Vote for him. We can add the total vote to the trump column even though in new york state doesnt go red. You know, at least get a popular vote to the guy you want to be president. [inaudible] i hear it, you could. Well do the delegate math for you, okay . Mitt romney got destroyed, he got smoked in 2012. I would say that almost all if not every single state that mitt romney won, put it in the red column right now, because it would take a lot for hem to move, i think. For them to move, i think. I personally think. All you need now if you have mitt romneys wins, you have to have florida and ohio, have to, and then either pennsylvania or michigan. Pennsylvania is right now tied, 4241, its a statistical tie there. Michigan is very well, trumps doing very well in michigan. Trump needs to shore up florida. He went to rhode island no offense to rhode island, but youve got a day, go to florida. Go to florida, ohio, pennsylvania. Florida, ohio, pennsylvania, back to florida, back to ohio, pennsylvania for the next five months. Thats the path to winning. But trump does his thing. [laughter] so i dont know who trump answers to just donald, thats about it. Sir. Can we get a microphone . There you go. One of the things that really distressed me was the last president ial election when mitt romney was debating obama, especially the third debate when they didnt attack the Obama Administration and their incompetence about benghazi well, if you remember, if you remember what happened, Candy Crowley sided with barack obama, and they were both wrong. And mitt didnt have it in his back pocket to stand up and say, no, youre wrong, this is the way it happened, and he failed. And that was a red flag to a lot of people. If, if youre not ready, if you dont know the basics, that was one of the big ones. Barack obama went to a fundraiser the day, on september 12th. If you dont know what was going on and you didnt have it in your pocket, then you dont really deserve to be president. But go ahead, im sorry. Well, he didnt deserve to be president because i labeled him after that debate as a loser. Now it aggravates me that hes compounding it yeah. By not supporting the party because the alternative is unbelievably bad. Yeah. And so where are the bushs and the romneys . These people who should be supporting the party because theres more than just this election. Its the after effects that are going to occur. Of course to. I just outlined them with the Supreme Court and the federal judges. Right. The country will be vastly different for decades, decades if she wins. Right. Where are they . Someone told me inside, a washington insider if donald trump wins, within 100 days, hell have to switch out, move out 5,000 people. 100 days, a third of the year, 5,000 people have to leave d. C. , and he has to bring in 5,000. By the end of the year, 35,000 people will have to be replaced. So theres you understand now why these people who have been career politicians, have never done anything but collected a paycheck from the government, they would rather lose, keep their careers, jobs, money lines intact and try and win another day than win. And winning if they truly cared about the country and conservative values, virtues, they would vote for trump. They would get behind trump. They would support trump. And they would be speaking at the convention, but theyre not. A as of now theyre not as of now theyre not. Hopefully, they come around. But why not . Theyre rinos, republican in name only. I say that, and i have someone who used to work for the Bush Administration sitting next to me [inaudible] they, like i said, their infrastructure of money and power and influence will go away if it wont go away if Hillary Clinton wins. Itll stay intact. Itll go away be donald trump wins if donald trump wins. So they would rather the cou
