Fox News star Eric Bolling debuted his new show, “The Fox News Specialists,” with an interview with President Donald Trump Monday.
The segment — which is airing in two parts, with the second being aired Tuesday at 5 p.m. — was the president’s first interview following his first 100 days in office.
Bolling — a long-time friend of Trump and an adamant Trump supporter — touched on North Korea’s threats to U.S. troops. Trump opened up to Bolling on the issue, telling him he doesn’t believe anyone is safe if North Korean Dictator Kim Jung Un has access to nuclear weapons.
“Nobody’s safe — I mean, who’s safe? The guy’s [Kim Jong-un] got nuclear weapons. I’d like to say they’re very safe,” Trump said. “These are great brave soldiers, these are great brave troops and they know the situation. We have 28,000 troops on the line and they’re right there. And so nobody’s safe, we’re probably not safe over here.”
The hour-long program — which Bolling will co-host alongside Kat Timpf and Eboni K. Williams — is set air during the 5 p.m. hour as “The Five” was moved to the 9 p.m. timeslot. According to Fox News, the show will bring on daily “specialists” to discuss the hot topics of the day.
Bolling — a former commodities trader who started his career in media at CNBC before being discovered by Roger Ailes — previously co-hosted “The Five,” anchored “Cashin’ In” on the Fox Business Network and frequently filled in for disgraced former Fox News personality Bill O’Reilly on “The O’Reilly Factor.” His latest book,”The Swamp: Washington’s Murky Pool of Corruption and Cronyism and How Trump Can Drain It,” is set to be released in June.
