ERIC BOLLING (HOST): Taylor Swift, Tay Tay, as they say - she's always been a prominent figure as a singer and songwriter. But lately, the establishment media has been obsessed with her and her love life as she dates Kansas City Chiefs football player Travis Kelce. And I'm sure, as many of you right now are thinking, who the heck cares? And I'm right there with you, which is why we avoided all this nonsense. But now you're hearing conservative media raising the alarm that she's a political threat. But just a few months ago, you would hear things like this on a regular basis.

BOLLING: Not enough Taylor Swift. Two days without Taylor Swift and they're having withdrawal. Folks, it's not some big government conspiracy, as some people alluded, that built up Taylor Swift – it's them, the establishment media. And many conservatives fell into the trap idolizing her. We didn't here because The Balance -- because we know better, because why build up such an anti-Trump figure even more so?
But we haven't forgotten that Taylor Swift tweeted this about Donald Trump, quoting, he's well aware that we do not want him as our president. He's chosen to blatantly cheat and put millions of Americans lives at risk in an effort to hold on to power. That was back in 2020. Does the big corporate media have collective amnesia? Taylor Swift strongly came out in support of Joe Biden, even sharing his image, this image of her baking Biden 2020 cookies. And the man she's dating, Mr. Pfizer himself, Travis Kelce, not only is he a Pfizer spokesperson, but he's also a Bud Light spokesperson. Two for two. Remember that? Two for two. You know, the beer that conservatives don't drink anymore? And in damage control, Bud Light tapped Kelce to make this commercial.

BOLLING: Well, let's not forget Tay Tay's boyfriend is also on record kneeling during the National Anthem. This is who the establishment media, including conservatives, have cozied up to for the last four months for the sake of ratings, giving them millions of dollars of coverage and airtime. And it played right into the Democrats' hands. And now, everyone's in a tizzy because the Biden camp is reportedly trying to get Taylor Swift to campaign for Joe Biden.
...
Why is the Biden camp is fantasizing about a Taylor Swift endorsement? Because the new poll finds that one in five voters would likely back whatever candidate Taylor Swift endorses. That's sad, but it's also scary. And that's something Joe Biden desperately needs. Now, there's no proof that Taylor Swift and her media blitz is part of some government conspiracy. But without a doubt, she is a useful idiot in a political warfare, and that poll proves it. Her followers are lemmings who vote not based on issues but based on who their idol likes.
