Must watch: Eric Bolling shares the story of his son's overdose in candid video message

Eric Bolling hasn’t been seen on Fox News for quite a while for reasons we won’t get into here; his Twitter bio lists him as a “free agent now.” We imagine there are still Twitchy readers who’d like to hear from him, and sadly, they had the opportunity this week.

On March 1, President Trump hosted a summit on opioids at the White House, and the session was introduced by a stark video by Bolling, who shared his personal story and warned about “Not My Kid Syndrome.”

This was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. Please pass this along. Share with anyone who knows someone who has been touched by the #CrisisNextDoor. https://t.co/1Hmp5q7G9x

Very tough to watch – as I have told you, Eric — we are all so sorry for your loss. ? https://t.co/fVmCJIjOgY

This is incredibly brave and so true. It has affected me personally and it’s a hard road to navigate alone. I have very frank conversations with my kids and their friends. My oldest daughter has already lost 2 friends to drugs. ? https://t.co/Eel3FOSsh4

This horrible tragedy touches many; also took the life of a good friend's son last year. https://t.co/P7B2sFbOcj

A young friend of mine was having a hard time. I wrote him a letter about how much he is loved by his friends, but most of all by Jesus. He made plans to visit me. He never made it. If you know someone with an opioid addiction, don’t forget to tell them how much you love them. https://t.co/SVMdLgPjVG
