Eric Bolling Tells Emotional Story of Man Who Told Him His Son Killed Himself Because He Embarrassed Him
RUSH EXCERPT:
BOLLING: "My son Eric Chase and I were best friends I adored him. We shared sneakers and polo shirts. He was my life 18 months ago. I got the call every parent dreads. My son Eric chase was away at college University of Colorado Boulder, he was a sophomore. It was 10 p.m. and my wife and I were driving home from a celebratory dinner. I just closed a chapter in my career earlier that afternoon. Fox and I had separated ways under amicable circumstances. My cellphone rang and the girl on the line was crying rather hard to this day. I don't know why I went right there but I asked Kayla is he alive. All I heard was no. Adrienne who had pulled the car over was listening to the speakerphone when she heard no. She literally fell out of the car and onto the active roadway. I scooped her up and we sat on the curb for two hours crying. Adrienne repeated no no no no no probably several thousand times. The coroner found that Eric died of an accidental overdose from a xanax laced with the deadly fentanyl. Since then I've been on the front lines in the war on the opioid death national health crisis. I've hosted town halls with Sinclair featuring the First Lady Melania Trump, twice the Surgeon General Jerome Adams, the drug czar James Carroll, the director of the DEA Kellyanne Conway, senators Cruz and Rubio cabinet secretaries from the DHS HHS and the VA. Every one of these events saves lives. We have dozens of calls emails posts from people who thanked us for saving their life or that of a loved one after they saw and/or heard one of our town halls. But I need to tell you something each time I tell this story my heart gets ripped out of my chest. I'm telling you this because something awful happened to me last night. I've always been completely honest and transparent with you my faithful friends supporters and viewers. Last night, I was sitting with some friends at the Trump Hotel in DC among several others Hayden Williams from Berkeley was at our table. I was chatting with him about him telling the story about being walloped on campus by a thug just because he was wearing a mug at. I barely noticed what was about to happen. A guy who appeared to be talking on a cell phone walked by our table and turned towards us and said, "Eric Bolling son killed himself because he was embarrassed by his dad."
