A qanda. As you may have noticed there is a camera crew from cspan so you may be on camera. During the question and answer session if you wouldnt mind waiting until somebody gives you a microphone, he will call on you and get you a microphone. Tonight i have the pleasure of introducing Fox News Channel personality cohost on the highly rated show of defiance as well as the program cashing in. He frequently appears on other programs including substitute host for bill oreilly on the oreilly factor. To speak about the new book wake up america, please join me in welcoming eric bolling. [applause] you came out on friday a is a holiday weekend. Great job. Appreciate that. A little history on the book about nine years ago i came over from cnbc and i had a conservative viewpoint and i think a lot of people started enjoying the conservatism i was bringinbringing and they alwaysd me what you do on some of these shows an basically like that, cn you write those down and compile them into a book in for gears i put it off and they came to me about a year ago and said this is the time and it looked like there were going to be a bunch of people running so there would probably be a few people running on the democrat side. Maybe this is about the right time. In the middle of it i realized president obama had been bringing the country to the left that someone had to do something to make sure we bring it back to center. I believe deep down in my heart of hearts that the conservative viewpoints are what brought us to this point with economic might and we need to stay on track. He said i want to fundamentally transform america and then three weeks later h elected him whichs amazing so i started writing the book and it was amazing. I was trying to figure out the principled conservatism. I got to what i felt comfortably with the conservative agenda we needed to get back to and then i realized the reason it was moving so fast and was easy to write is because he brought it so far left there were so many things to write about. How many times you can fold down and pick yourself up and keep going. You are taught a few folddown government will take care of you. We will provide more and more unemployment insurance. There will be a Record Number of food stamps. 50 increase through these things kept writing themselves. At the end of writing they said who do you want to dedicate the book to . My beautiful wife is sitting back there. She was number one. Then i went to people that were influential in my life, mark fisher grew up somewhere around here. I am going to dedicate this book to president obama. Hes the reason its doing so well. [applause] i send this to some of the most influential people in my life have taught me about republicanism, conservatism. Bill oreilly i liked hosting his show. Tonight there is a big special about the clinton scandal. I sent the book to donald trump. I sent a book and he sent one back. Mark cuban, it wouldve people think he may not be conservative in fact Hillary Clinton said she talked to him about a potential vice presidency non nation and he said i dont think thats going to happen. One of my most influential conservative endquote inputs. Im almost done now and im reading this and i want something impactful to start to grab attention. A couple friends of mine got together and said it happened to be finishing watching an episode of the walking dead. Why dont we start with an apocalyptic beginning. Al gore is over there as the secretary of energy and all sharpton to secretary of education and Bernie Sanders the socialist, the communist is the adviser to hillary so theres this doom and gloom beginning. Then i saw this as ridiculous and i looked back seven or eight years and realized how far left weve gone. So its a warning and a roadmap for success and conservatism because if you have a Hillary Clinton presidency youre not going to get the quarterback or the federal judges back or obamacare or affirmativ affirman back, youre not going to get the Second Amendment back in immigration. Its an important time in history. I want to thank everybody for coming out. A quick story. We took a train to philadelphia and of course it is amtrak so we were 40 minutes late for training we were exactly on time here. I realized people are passionate about bringing the country back. Conservatism is an unheard voice in the last decade and im thrilled you came out to celebrate the book with me. With that open up some questio questions. We will wait for the microphone. [inaudible] you can have as many as you want. What is your opinion regarding the far right and how they are not getting behind the republican agenda and donald trump and if they dont fear of looking at a doomsday scenario. Thi let me agree with you and disagree. You are spot on in saying unless youre at a party if Hillary Clinton. You cant have paul ryan, mitt romney and people saying i cant get behind donald trump. I will disagree with you calling them the far right. They are almost liberal. I get in trouble sometimes. You are right. We need to get them on board. Everyone has to ask a question. Its the rule. [inaudible] that was taped on wednesday. I love george bush but he was wrong when he said certain things about a religion and he didnt veto any spending bills. If trump gets elected, the republicans cant stand up against obama when it is the right to stand against him. My concern is the president will be fine but the real problem is getting good republicans who will stand up for the principles and when they say something, and do something. We are voting for ted cruz in november and i hope donald trump beats hillary. I dont buy that. My vote is going to tell republicans. Thats the mentality that is scaring me because if you still believe you are an independent i cast my vote for the delegates to go in december if Hillary Clinton is indicted after the delegates are elected the delegates have to make a decision do they want to vote for Hillary Clinton. You really want another democrat who do you want to be the president . I want ted cruz. I would wont trump to beat hillary. So vote for him. We can add up the total and at least get him a popular vote for the guy you want to be president. Mitt romney got destroyed in 2012. I would say almost all if not every single statement from the one put in the towel right now because it would take a lot for them to move i personally think. All you need now if you have the way in, you have to have florida and ohio and i then pennsylvania or michigan. Pennsylvania is tied. Clinton and trump. Michigan is doing very well. Ohio is tied also. Go to florida, ohio, pennsylvania for the next five months and thats the path to winning. One of the things that distressed me is the president ial election when mitt romney was debating obama when they did an attack. If you remember what happened, he didnt have it in his back pocket to stand up and say you are wrong, this is the way that it happened and that was the red flag to a lot of people. That was one of the big ones. They went to a fund raiser and if you dont know what was going on and you didnt have it on your pocket you dont deserve to be president. I labeled him after that debate. Now it aggravates me that we are not supporting the party because the alternative is unbelievably bad. So where are the bushes and the romneys death should be supporting the party because theres more than just this selection, its the after effects. The country would be vastly different for decades. If donald trump wins within 100 days he will have to move out 5,000 people. 5,000 people have to leave. By the end of the first year, 35,000 people will have to be replaced. You understand why these people whove than career politicians that have never done anything but collected a paycheck from the government, they would rather lose, keep their careers, jobs intact and try to win another day. If they truly cared about the country and the conservative values and virtues, they would vote for trump and they would be speaking at the convention but they are not. The infrastructure will go away it wont go away it was the clinton days. They would rather the countries suffer. Our kids have a liberal upbringing. There are zillions of dollars that go around the world and theyve been removed from that. Why do you think a congressman can spend 60 years in congress and now theyve made a lot less. Probably happened around 50 years or 75,000 a year. You can leave congress with 10 million. How does that happen . They are not doing it from salary. No one knows about it. We should have an influence by the way. Thank you so much. My husband and i watch all the time. We are tuned in as much as we can to fox news and obviously time is of the essence and what we can do to keep the train from going off the tracks. We love this country and we see that its being diluted by craziness and a lot of unrest. From the getgo we were all bored in what we could do to prevent her from becoming president. If there were creative people in five or ten years i see them all over the place in Huntington Station theyve taken over the beautiful town with so many people hoping to get a job for the day. Donald trump speaks the language with Border Security and that. So anything they can do. [applause] you outlined the introduction of some one can paint a picture thats the introduction the book talks about. What can you do . Be called upon by the local party, whomever. Available say can you volunteer. [inaudible] youve just did something. 50 people heard your point of view. Her and facebook, he figured that out early and it was a powerful thing. People make fun of him. A president obama was speaking and more people heard of donald trump then they heard barack obama speaks its a powerful tool. If anyone else has it express also designates with you. I was going to ask you a question. I was wondering which one you like better and why. That wouldnt come from my executive producer with it . [inaudible] he comes in on vacation no, he is the producer of cashing in show which is where the gran brand of four and a haf years ago towards the end of the show felt like we needed a way to close it out and give it a nice punch. A lot of hosts through the monologue up front and we only have 30 minutes that ends up being an actual 22 minutes of of showtime and ratheshow time andg it up top before you move on for the rest of your day we started to wake uwake up america and tha brand on the political culture and it just grew and grew. The social media aspect went viral and people were all over the place and a door to the brand. Then it made sense for me to write the book. He will get to it when he gets back. If the Republican Party is considered conservative and im not a member of the party, im a conservator, i must be on the far right conservative as the gentle man in front of me referred to. I think the problem is getting the Republican Party over to the conservative movement. I think the Republican Party as the party establishment. It can push back and ive literally been told by producers every time you say that you kick off half the audience. If you watch some of the interviews with donald trump in the 80s he was thoughtful and calm and hes a patriot because he had to step up and i admire him for that. I want people to know i want trump to earn 6,570,000,000 votes by beating the thoughtful person he was in the 80s, and not calling someone a liar or tiny hands person. Maybe that was the other guy. Insults are a turnoff and that isnt becoming even now. Egor unbecoming to a huge portion of the population. They also are a huge portion of the population we talk a lot in the book pushing back against culture one of them is being told what you can say and when. Say what you want. Be aggressive about it. Dont be embarrassed about what you said. There are safe spaces so you dont offend people if you call someone he or she. They can say whats going on. Im afraid if he doesnt come back the way we left him but two or three days ago when Elizabeth Warren was on tv but the same pantsuit there was a clip and he said what are we going to do if Hillary Clinton wins, and i never pushed politics on him at her and said he is liking the conservatism. When i dare this about the College Campuses im afraid he comes back a different person than he was. By the way, ted cruz was the solicitor general in texas. I was the first human being to put him on tv. I had him regularly on one of my first shows, great guy. I was talking about trump in the light that is more aggressive. It would have made an unbelievable ticket. I know theres a huge ted cruz fan base. Why would you say if i wayne you get the seat, now we have the most conservative ive ever known and you will probably get a lot of votes. I was just wondering in view of the vote friday to me that seems like a big pushback on immigration. Some of the countries like poland are pushing back on the immigration that said enough is enough. What is your view of this and where can we go to deal with the problem . The uk said it was primarily immigration. I also think there is some money involved as the second provider in the European Union after germany, the uk and france as the net contributor. At some point you say im tired oi am tiredof picking up the tay time. But theyve talked about this and until they have enough to do it that reason they do it is because the immigration idea and i think it designate if designaa nationalistic view because donald trump came down the escalator and the first thing he said im going to build a wall and make mexico pay for it. He will do it and that is a nationalism nationalistic view of the world and its spreading from the uk to hear and it may come back in november. People were afraid they would be called a racist and in the underground this file we do not have this on our front lawn because we are afraid of change neighborhood leaders would do to the house and cars. We are huge fans to afraid to put it in front of our house. I spend 80 of my time in new york city. How is this that doesnt overwhelm a lot of circles i go to. [inaudible] i shouldnt tell you what to do. Yes right here in the green. Ive been a republican all my life involved in the party and im just kind of breaking away from that because im so annoyed with them and i would send to the comment all the time and nothing they say make sense to me. They are a selfserving Republican Party. Its all about them. Its not about the country. Its not about us. And even mark loved and who was here years ago as a fan he just drives me crazy. I cant even listen to him anymore. Thats my comment. He has done a lot of damage. He just doesnt say anything worth listening to anymore. She is one of the most influential people in conservatism. It may take a few months after the election but we are all coming from the same place. Bill kristol, horrible. I hope im never hosting one of these shows were they post him as a guest. They are terrible and ruining it. Even more despicable than what politicians do. Someone like bill kristol and george will i think they are doing more damage to the politicians. Thank you for coming out. I just finished and my question is what can people like me do to try to ignite the conservative and Republican Movement o repube predominantly liberal College Campuses where our new president sent an email after the orlando shooting saying we should be defending them and there is no such thing as radical islamic terrorism. What can we do to push through to get a sense of the College Campus . Im fearful that my son spent years coming back indoctrinated when really thats what its like. I think what you can do as suggested to someone else continue with the social media campaign. Did you have to meet offcampus . Some colleges say you cant meet offcampus. Its offensive. Good job. Just keep doing what youre doing, how about that . Maybe they will. The we watched with my son who is also leaving for college in august and we discussed this with him regularly in terms of liberalism theyve got him in high school and whats ahead of him and what his political views are, thats for him to decide. Theres so much frustration with the censorship, the political correctness, such a sense of hopelessness. These kids are afraid to address the conservatism or viewpoints for fear of horrendous grades. Thats despicable. You feel helpless because of the establishment that isnt helping to lead us down the conservative path. They just want to save their job and discuss. The book came out a couple of weeks ago and about a week after it came out, the county in North Carolina decided that they were no longer acceptable because the number one was offensive to number two. Thats exactly what happened. Politics has become liberal things to the Obama Administration and the like. Its infected with the media which has been leaning liberal and now they have all the fuel they need its scary how fast the country is moving left and all that youre trying t we aree a minute, keep the account going and telling your kids listen im not suggesting you get in an argument about what is right that is a death wish just thrown it down and hold home once in a while. Is educated baby boomers that havent been indoctrinated into still support someone like hillary as a democrat. They keep exposing these issues and he runs a high profile law firm. Theres so many lists. Theres so many scandals theres not enough time to cover them all in an hour. I wonder what is it that makes everyone i have no clue. I think its wrong but who kno knows. Bernies nurse got Bernie Sanders got 40 of the vote and the baby boomers should know better. But its also a good thing because of the 40 , 25 of the 40 that means 10 of all of the votes will never vote for hillary and that is an opportunity for trump. How about this gentleman right here . What advice do you have for entrepreneurs im going to be starting my own education company. I know you were talking about it the other night. We tried to change the millennial. I was with my mother and the last two words she whispered were never quit and i will never forget those two words. If this business doesnt work out, try another one. Always be passionate about you do. I played baseball for the first time in my career and again, working all around the world they worked my way into that and then cnbc happened to be on a train itrain and i said can yous what went on. Giving up is not an option. It was a lot of money for the women run businesses. Maybe it is a female small business. How about right over here. Im going to go in a different direction here. Do you think it is possible to hold the beliefs and called herself a conservative . I dont claim to tell people what to do. One of the chapters in the book is providence. I go to church every single five days a week and on sunday with my wife so we go six days a week. I believe god let the path for my success but i wont tell you what to do. Its fairly libertarian. I thought it was an interesting concept for a while. I think that we could bring it to more young people where its not as cut and dry. I like a little bit of it but i like the values and those are the core values i stick to. One more. I am a huge fox news fan i watch all the time but i never hear and there could be a legal reason for this, i never hear anyone talk about the possibility although it is probably too late now of president obama being impeached. The ship has sailed. Hes just biding his time. We might get Hillary Clinton impeached before sworn in. Wouldnt that be fun. Show of hands or are you fox people . Do you have oreilly stuff . Can we give tony a hand for cashing in . [applause] are we good, where are we . Flair do you want me now . I guess i will go over there. Thank you, everybody. [inaudible conversations] booktv visited capitol hill to ask members of congress what they are reading this summer. As i mentioned before i keep a book on my nightstand as i travel back and forth every week and sometimes more than once a week i keep a book on my nightstand so before i go to bed, i try to get some good reading and then i have my plane broke i go back and forth. So, not surprisingly, the two books i am reading here, jack kemp, i was a colleague of jack kemp so its interesting to go back and read some of that history and also the latest is Mitch Mcconnells book the long game. I thought since hes my boss and he gave me a free book i ought to read it. I read chapter seven, i didnt know this about you, etc. Then my book on the plane is a new book about churchill was written by the former mayor. Ive read every book i could get lunch ritual this wont brought a different perspective. Its a totally different look at churchill so im enjoying that. Then i am on the Intelligence Committee and i love spy books. Tightrope is about a world war ii spy books to report on german and so forth. So those recent e. Have been the books i am stacking up ideas for the break in august to hopefully have more time reading. How a jewish wild bill manager hustled the nazis and
