Carlos Delgado. Excellent choice. Too bad I got him three rounds ago. Still on the clock. Oh, shit. You gotta do some. You're down the decky Matsui. Just took my whole outfield.

Sorry, Charlie. What is this? What is this? That's our fantasy baseball draft. We said no wives. I told you all about this. Got Matsui. Hey, don't let the door hit you in the vagina on the way out.

Come on, who's going? Can we just laugh a little bit? Can everyone calm down? Can everybody just chill out? for a second calm down it's politics okay there's going to be things you agree with there's going to be things you disagree with are you a three-time trump voter enjoy the ride that's what i'm doing man cause a lot of drama on the internet we try to keep our nose clean stay out of drama president trump went scorched earth on some podcasters last night

we want to stay out of it we just we want to stay out of it we want to say principled and focus on the mission, which is saving the country for my children. And that's it. Now, we are the subject of the major drama because we started criticizing foreign governments and foreign countries. And for that, I would like to apologize. For absolutely nothing. Because it's my obligation as a free person. as an American, as somebody who loves only my country to be suspicious of every other nation, who presumably loves only their country and wants what's best for their country. Fine. In fact, that's a moral and dignified and defensible position. Criticizing another government, being wary of foreign influence and entanglements is how we got America

in the first place. Your forefathers really didn't like foreign governments so much that they fought wars against them to be rid of them and free of them. And many would argue our most famous forefather, sorry, we don't have the George Washington

AI to bring up. George Washington and a wife beater smoking a zigzag. What do you think? Nope. But we do have this, like George Washington's farewell address where he says please for the love of God like don't get involved in other foreign entanglements the world is a messy place we got a country to build here and you should be suspicious quite frankly of other countries morals and what they want to do to this great and rich land and

that's what George Washington said and I'm like down with that and I just want to say as somebody who is America first who voted three times for Trump who wants Trump to succeed It is our obligation as people who love this country and love his administration to call balls and strikes. And that's just all we've done. It's gotten us in a bunch of hot water with exactly the people you'd assume. And I don't care because it's righteous and moral. And let me tell you my major motivator here, actually, because loving your homeland doesn't mean you hate other people. It's the opposite of that.

It means you want what's best for providentially what God tells you to actually care the most about, which is your children, your family, your neighborhood, your block. And that's my chief motivator. Proverbs says, a righteous man and a good man leaves an inheritance for his children's children. And my only motivation is not hatred of any other country, although it is my right and obligation to question things when I see that they are wrong or when our leaders are being lied to, my president's being lied to. I want to apologize for that.

No, no, no. My motivation is simply this. Preserve this place for my children. And that's it. I want a peaceful, prosperous, safe, clean America to leave to my children. That's it. So, I wanted to pop off the top here because everyone's yelling at us for this clip. Here's the clip.

Why not just jump right into it? Ladies and gentlemen, today, of course, is free for all Friday, April 10th, 2026. We do have a banger of a show for you. As J.D. Vance leads peace negotiations. Hunter Biden has fled the country. Steve Hilton and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr will be live on this show. So it's going to be awesome. So let's just like rock through this, okay, quickly.

I hate trauma. I really do. I don't like drama because it's not about me. I wasn't elected president. Did you see my name on the ballot? Am I president? Am I commander in chief? You know, some people would be wise to like learn that they're not commander in chief. I support President Trump. I still support President Trump. I want him to be successful. I don't want my president to be lied to and is my obligation with this humble audience to declare that when I catch other world leaders lying to Trump. my president in the White House. It makes my blood boil. So here's what I said, and we're going to unpack this. Here we go. On behalf of other nations, certainly don't want some other nation to walk into our White House and to lie about an operation to our president. And that's what that's what happened.

That's what Israel did here. It's unforgivable as far as I'm concerned. You should never want that. China doing that, Russia doing that, or if it were the UA, the U.A. or Saudi Arabia walking in and lying to us, lying to our president and then getting Americans killed, I would also be rightly furious. So it shouldn't happen anyway. I think that Bibi Netanyahu should be banned from the White House as far as I'm concerned,

along with any other world leader like that behaves in a duplicitous fashion. And Zelensky should be on that list. Zolensky should be on that list. We can go there, ladies and gentlemen. Here's the article that I was talking about in that clip. That's a now viral clip. It's going berserker mode all across X. And I want to just unpack this quickly. The New York Times, ladies and gentlemen, has a, I know you're going to say, listen, go read it yourself. All right? I'm just going to read you the words. You can decide what you will. But with the detail, first off, these are the two like Trump stenographers. Trump has given exclusives to these reporters before. He sat down with these reporters before. He knows these reporters before. I'm not saying Trump leaked all this. I'm saying that these are, that they are the Trump stenographers at the New York Times.

They're the stalkers practically of President Trump at the New York Times. It ain't been perfect, but the exquisite detail of this piece begs the question like, how did these reporters get access to all of this? And you'd have to assume it's somebody that is working on retelling the story from inside of the White House. That's what I assume. I don't know. But like the detail is precise, down to the placement of where everyone was seated. The White House also has not come out against this report. Right House regularly nukes from space.

Fake news and righteously so. But they haven't done that to this report. And what does this report show? I'm just going to give you the top line. And then the link is up on my social media. You can read it for yourself. Okay. I'll never ever tell you again at read the New York Times.

I mean, the number of people who've come after me for this. Here's the top line is that BB Netanyahu went into the White House and gave faulty intel to Trump. Did he know he was lying? Were they actively lying? Doesn't matter. Like, my, my malevolence or ignorance at some point is totally indistinguishable. It doesn't matter. It was wrong information.

Marco Rubio, Trump asked our own intelligence agencies to run all of BB's information. to assess it. And here's what the CIA director came back with. This is farcical, Mr. President. Scroll down to that. It's a giant black word farcicle. John Ratcliffe said it's farcical. It's not true. The information he gave me about the Iran war and how it's going to go down is not true. You'll find it, Klein, just scroll through. There you go. It's not, that's what our CIA director said. What did Mark or Rubio say? I support Marker Rubio. I really like Markerubio. He's such a sharp, such a sharp cookie in the White House. He said it's total bullshit.

That's what Rubio said. What about Raisin Kane? Don't we love Dan Raisin Kane, the Joint Chiefs of Staff? I certainly do. He's an American hero. Dan Raisin Kane says, listen, this is standard operating procedure for the Israelis. They exaggerate. Their plans are not well developed, he says.

Perfect. Thank you, Klein. And they oversell. They're hard selling you because they want a war with Iran. I'm not saying Trump is like, I'm not saying Trump is like, I'm not saying Trump. Trump went in like some sweet summer child. Trump made a decision based on our intelligence assessment to take out two objectives

out of four. The two objectives was kill the Ayatollah and extremely diminish grind to powder Iran's ability to project power and make war in the region. And they accomplished that. Trump accomplished that. That's what the article says. He went in clear-eyed about those two objectives. But Bebe's other objectives saying, oh, we can topple the regime.

We have some goofball in Bethesda, Maryland, who will suddenly be the new warlord of Iran. That's silly. That was bad intel. And I don't like my president getting bad intel. You shouldn't either because American lives are on the line. And that's critically important. You should want, you should demand, in fact, that world leaders who come to the White House give the dignity and respect of giving a good and accurate and precise information,

especially when American treasure lives, political. Will is on the line. Like that, that is the America first position. That is a logical position. This is a position of a patriot. And so that's what I said. So there it is, ladies and gentlemen. Not apologizing for anything.

That's what's in the article. The other, a couple of interesting things of note in the article. Trump went in clear-eyed. It's not like saying that Trump's an idiot or anything. Like Trump went in clear-eyed with the two objectives he wanted to accomplish. And so when Trump says, I've accomplished my objectives, he did. The article says those are the two things he wanted to do. And that is exactly what we did.

Degraded their military down to practically powder. They have no Navy, no air control, no ground control. We can build forward operating bases, deep in enemy territories and go get our pilot. Okay. And then kill the Ayatollah and like a couple strata down of Iranian leadership. Boom, that's what happened. Okay. J.D. Vance totally and completely against this war.

That's the other big takeaway from this article. J.D. Vance was like, no, we are not. going to we should not be going to this war. We should not be doing it. And J.D. Vance was like straight up like, you know, but if you want to do it, we should get it over as quickly as possible because there's a lot of dangers here. And it, you know, goes through the detail.

It goes through the thought process. I think it's fascinating. Goes through the thought process of everybody in the Trump administration. It makes me love the Trump administration even more. It seems like the, the thinking here was clear. And President Trump simply made a decision based on his gut. And you get good Trump with bad Trump, don't you? If you voted for Trump, then you voted for the guy that's been saying since the 80s,

he wants to bomb the shit out of Iran. That's exactly what he said. He said that like a million times, those exact words. So anyway, that's it. Okay. Like, take it for what it is. The White House has not denied this report. They haven't come out and called it all fake news.

And so, you know, I'm just going to pivot off this and say, for those of you who think that I'm like, oh, how dare you pick on Israel? You're so mean to Israel. Anti-Semite. You're like every single thing you could possibly say, you know, did you have the same problems when it was Zelensky?

Because I have these clips. We don't have time to play him, but I have these special clips from like about 16 months ago of Zelensky going to the White House, lying his ass off to Trump, you will feel you will feel it you will feel and Trump was just like and they smashed them right you don't have the cards look at them both you don't have the card we're trying to solve a problem don't tell us what we're going to feel I'm not telling you because you're in no position to dictate that

remember this you're in no position to dictate what we're going to feel we're going to feel we're going to feel very good and very strong you know you're going to feel you're going to you will feel Trump you don't have the cards and that's true and he didn't and he was in there lying and I didn't like it and I raged about it at the time so I'm an equal opportunist when it comes to criticizing foreign governments that come in and that either manipulate or lie or don't give correct and accurate information to my president that's that is a morally defensible position to have if you love your country this is my only country I don't have another passport.

This is all I got. It's all my children's got. So I'm going to defend it. And I'll call balls and strikes. Okay? That hurts your feelings. Then you should like take a big step back. And ask yourself why?

Like why? These are like a lot. These are totally logical positions to have. Just want to play one more thing before we get to this spectacular chairman of the FCC, Brennan Carr. A clip that isn't very famous, but is critically important. of J.D. Vance explaining what the role of the Trump administration is. Here we go. Because one person or 10 people or 100 people came in legally and contributed to the United States

of America, does that mean that we're thereby committed to let in a million or 10 million? When Westcham first took flight in 1996, the vibes were a bit different. People thought denim on denim was peak fashion, inline skates were everywhere, and two out of three women rocked the Rachel. While those things stayed in the 90s, One thing that hasn't is that fuzzy feeling you get when WestJet welcomes you on board. Here's to WestJetting since 96. Travel back in time with us and actually travel with us at westjet.com slash 30 years. Or 100 million people a year in the future?

No, that's not right. We cannot have, but I'll go and finish, we cannot have an immigration policy where what was good for the country 50 or 60 years ago binds the country inevitably for the future. There's too many people who want to come to the United States of a business. America and my job as vice president is not to look out for the interest of the whole world. It's to look out for the people of the United States. Boom. There it is.

Boom. Boom. My job, your job as a patriot is not to look out for the interest of the whole world. Your job as a patriot is to look out for the interests of your country of the United States. Now, J.D. Vance was talking, of course, about open borders, but the principle applies. J.D. Vance is on a plane right now to go negotiate peace. You can see here. Here's the update.

J.D. Vance warms Iran not to play us. He says he's going to go negotiate peace with Iran. That's awesome. I cheer that on. I pray for the Trump administration. I come alongside of them and fight with them. I want America first. And President Trump out this morning saying the world's most powerful reset.

Good. I like this energy, ladies and gentlemen. The world's most powerful reset. Fantastic. Ladies and gentlemen, somebody who fights alongside of the president, all the time in a very important arena, which is, of course, the arena of truth and accuracy, good reporting and responsible broadcast is the great chairman, Brendan Carr of the FCC.

He joins us live right now. Mr. Chairman, I've had to get some things off my chest, but like, yeah, I just love America a lot. And I know you do too. So good to be with you. Really great to join you. Good to be with you, Benny. So, Mr. Chairman, a couple quick things. You had a a very fiery response to CNN that published a 10 point, a 10 point fake piece of Iranian propaganda about what President Trump signed onto. They eventually deleted the post, but then defended it by saying, yo, the Iranian regime gave us these points to publish, which I think is duplicitous, quite frankly, journalistically.

I would never let an Iranian sneak into my studio and like, split me papers to read on air. but CNN thinks it's totally cool. What's going on here? What was interesting about this story is CNN ran this headline that said Iran basically claims victory, and that was not at all the statement that Iran had itself put out. I mean, obviously President Trump, you know, has been winning unbelievably over there to say Iran claims victory. It's right. If you actually look at the actual statement from Iran, which President Trump himself posted, that it was very different than that. And I think perhaps maybe CNN got a statement

from some component of the Iranian government, but that's like having Elizabeth Warren put out a statement and having someone run a headline saying, you know, United States claims X. You know, there's all kinds of weird people over there that can claim all sorts of things. But when you're in such a sensitive moment in this middle of this combat,

I think it's important to be very clear about where these statements are coming from. Look, CNN is cable, they're not broadcasts. They don't have a license or a public interest obligation. But I still think it's important. for all of us to express our views on this. Yeah, to push back. CNN's taken like Iranian TV broadcasts like for minutes on end during all this.

It's been peculiar. It's been very strange. Didn't the Iranian government let a CNN reporter go like deep into Iran to do like coffee shop videos? I like saw those clips, man. It was weird. Yeah, I think that's probably right. Yeah, it's very strange. Okay.

So there's not going to be any FCC action on this, however. And just like, well, they're cable. So they don't have a license. Yeah, they don't, yeah, they don't have a license from the FCC. Unlike broadcast. We're on the broadcast side. I mean, look, we've been working really hard to reinvigorate the public interest standard. We have a lot of investigations going. We have enforcing, uh, enforcing it. And we have, uh, on other Disney actions that we're looking at. And what I've said before is really true is, you know, President Trump is fundamentally reshaping the entire media ecosystem. And people misunderstand it when I say that they think it's, you know, Trump nefarious. calling people up and firing him. That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is President Trump ran directly at the fake news media. It was a emperor has no closed moment for them. And people realize, yeah, we don't have to just buy the false fake narratives that the legacy media is doing. And once President Trump succeeded in doing that, then all these consequences naturally flow as a business matter. You get journalists, you know, fake news journalists losing jobs left and right. And all these things are happening. It's not because Trump is calling up and getting people fired. but it's because he's called out the fake news. And heck, even today I saw the Vatican called out U.S. news outlets for being fake news, for running a false story about a Department of War meeting. And so even the Vatican, the Pope, is calling out America's fake news. It's quite something.

But again, this all flows from President Trump, but again, not for the reason people think. And there's more to do, you know, but we're heading in the right direction. So the Vatican for extremely unhappy left-wing, single women sitting at home in the middle of the day is the view. And they, you know, tune in religiously. And this has been a show that we obviously love because it provides an enormous amount of hilarity and content for us. But you're not laughing at all as the FCC here has opened an enforcement action against the view over a Democrat James Tala Rico's interview. Can you unpack this for us, Mr. Chairman? Yeah. So Congress long ago passed

a regulation equal time, equal opportunity. So if you're going to have one political candidate on, you have to offer comparable time and placement to others because Congress didn't want media gatekeepers deciding the outcome of elections. They wanted individual people to do that. Now, there's an exception to that rule for things that are called bonafide news programs. And Congress had in mind things like the old school meet the press. Now, flash forward to today, and every broadcast TV show apparently thinks that they're bona fide news, including the view. The view Disney's product is literally asserting that they are a bonified news program and therefore do not have to comply with equal time. And we have launched an enforcement matter in that.

We have welcomed them to file a petition with the FCC to try to obtain bonified news status. And if they do that, we're going to take a look at it. But I think it shocks a lot of people to think that Disney's The View is itself bonified news. We'll see how this enforcement investigation plays out. What about the balance on the view? I mean, is it, you know, it's given the fact that this is a publicly licensed broadcaster, I mean, having a table full of five screeching, shrieking, left-wing women, agitating and campaigning against the president every chance they get,

telling lies about the president, you know, on Epstein Island and so on as they've done, getting handed a note every seven seconds, right by their lawyers for corrections. I mean, is this something that ABC Shoe? should be really broadcasting? Well, part of the bona fide news analysis asks, and this is just in FCC case law for decades, is are you motivated by partisan political purposes in the production of the program? And so when the view comes forward, either on its own or part of our investigation, that's what we're going to look at. We also have a policy at the FCC for broadcasters that goes to conflict of interest. So if you have a personal political conflict of interest on a matter that

you're covering on a program, our rules say that you should disclose that. We're not saying you can't be politically active, but in terms of transparency being the best disinfectant. So we're also taking a look at, do we need to reinvigorate the FCC's personal political conflict of interest policy with respect to broadcasters? And we'll see where that goes. Okay. What say you about Colbert? He's rounding the corner on his final, on his final show here. He obviously had multiple temper tantrums against Trump, you, the Trump administration, and now he's, I guess, being banished to writing a Lord of the Rings or something like that that no one's going to watch? What's say you on Stephen Colbert, Mr. Chairman?

Well, look, I think it's got to be a tough time emotionally for people like Colbert and Kimmel. They're used to being at the top of the media game and apparently having a lot of people care what they think. But clearly those days are in the rearview mirror. And so that's got to be a tough time for them. But look, it's just not popular with people. I think it's great that these broadcasters now are responding to their viewers. And hopefully they'll get something on that it's actually either entertaining or funny or actually informative. And then a final question for you, Mr. Chairman, about something that bubbled up a month ago,

the Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show. I know there were multiple people calling on you, members of Congress calling on you, to investigate that for profanity because when you translate the actual work, that Bad Bunny was singing, they were quite profane. And some of the actions, obviously, that were being broadcast and displayed were quite a grotesque as well. Obviously, this was a failure of a halftime show. But is there any update on that? Will there be any action against NFL or the Super Bowl for that? Well, originally, people thought that there couldn't potentially be even the possibility of FCC.

violations because the singing was done in Spanish, but there's no Spanish language exemption in the FCC's rule. So if you violate profanity and decency, obscenity, whether it's Spanish or English, there's something there. One of the issues that we saw when this was raised was a lot of people were pointing to the traditional lyrics in those songs, which probably would have been an issue, but there was a lot of changing of the actual lyrics when you look at the transcript itself. But again, I think it's more fundamentally. Is this really a popular thing? If you're a broadcaster, is this the type of thing that is family-friendly viewing for the Super Bowl? It's gotten really weird over the years.

Yeah, it really has. Yeah, I'm pushing for the full country music show like next year. This is what I'm, this is what I will win when it's kid when it's kid, kid rock and dolly pardon. Yeah, the turning points up was awesome. That was a fantastic show. That was much better. Well, thank you.

We had a small part in that and we appreciate that, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, thank you so much for your work on this. I don't think anyone has ever seen a more active FCC. You can see the results of it in more fair reporting. And that's all we've ever asked. Everybody follow the FCC chairman, Brendan Carr here. He has 200,000 followers. Godspeed, Mr. Chairman.

Thanks. Good to see you. Ladies and gentlemen, we have Steve Hilton lined up and locked in and ready to go. Yeah, we are jumping over to Steve Hilton. We know he's on a tight schedule. So please welcome the leading candidate. for California governor right now, Republican, our dear friend, Steve Hill. Steve, hey, welcome back to the program.

Congratulations on the Trump endorsement. How amazing was that? What an Easter Sunday it was for me. Absolutely incredible. What an incredible honor. And actually, the other thing I just want to convey to you and everyone watching and listening, Benny, is not just the fact of it and the fact that it's going to be such a boost going into our California Republican Convention, which is happening this weekend in San Diego.

they go, of course, into the primary, so we can be a united party and then take the fight to whichever unbelievably unimpressive Democrat they send to run against me. We'll get to that in a second. But the positive thing is, the president and I had a wonderful conversation about the incredible opportunity, not just for California, but for our whole country. If we get to that beautiful scenario where I'm elected in November, take office next January, and then you're going to have the biggest state in our country, by far the big of the big of it. economy of all the 50 states, the leadership of that state, instead of endlessly fighting the president and his team when they are trying to do common sense things, that we will be

working together to open up energy production. We have massive oil and gas reserves in California. To do forest management, we have enormous forest that can harvest timber that we can use in our country, to find and stop the fraud, as you've been reporting. We are the epicenter of the fraud, bigger than all other states combined. We're going to be. working with the vice president and the task force to stop it and prosecute it to enforce our immigration laws in California. We have the largest number of illegal immigrants. Wherever you look, it's going to be transformational for not just California, but all of our wonderful country. Yeah, okay, so there's so many different places to start with this, but let's just jump right in.

Gavin Newsom going viral again, getting ratioed for claiming credit for fixing the fraud in California. I just it's pathological so guys like me go to California guys like Nick Shirley go to California we do our best to uncover fraud but like you just a YouTuber he called Nick Shirley a predator he made a meme about Nick Shirley being some type of like a predator or creep like hunting for children it's growth it's completely and totally grotes I mean he tapped everybody who comes there to cover fraud and and then now that they're doing mass arrests and uncovering what you've uncovered, which is hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars in fraud. He's claiming credit. Here's the tweet. I can't believe it's true.

Steve. California is leading the charge against large-scale identity theft and hospice fraud. Your response. You are right. It's pathological. The level of lying and the shamelessness of the lying, the brazen speaking things that everyone can see. It's not just not true. It's the direct opposite of the truth. It is pathological. There's something really wrong with someone who's able to behave like this. And of course, it's just so shameful when it's our money that's been stolen. And many of these are federal programs. So it's taxpayers across the country that have been completely ripped off by Gavin Newsom for all these years and the Democrat machine. Remember that this fraud, some of it is individual people who are stealing it to benefit themselves personally.

Bill Assaley, my friend who's the U.S. attorney doing a fantastic job on behalf of President Trump and the federal administration prosecuting fraud. Sometimes it's individual stealing it. But more often than not, this is what we've revealed through Caldoge. The money that's been stolen by Gavin Yusin from California and national taxpayers is going to finance their political machine. That's where it's going. It's not just buying luxury vacations or whatever. for individual criminals, the majority of it is going to Democrat groups, activists, the unions

for voter registration, and Democrat political activity to... This episode is brought to you by Tell Us Online Security. Oh, tax season is the worst. You mean hack season? Sorry, what? Yeah, cybercriminals love tax forms, but I've got Tellus Online Security. It helps protect against identity theft and financial fraud, so I can stress less during tax or any season.

Plan started just $12 a month. Learn more at tellus.com slash online security. No one can prevent all cybercrime or identity theft. Conditions apply. Trench their power. Taxpayer money. I mean, it's absolutely sick. And we need to see prosecutions of the politicians.

The politicians, because this cannot be allowed to go unpunished. Newsom and all these Democrats stealing taxpayer money to finance their political machine. Just to dig down. on a little lower deeper, a level deeper there, Steve, because you say that it's going to finance them and their political operations. James O'Keefe proved that right here. And I know you've seen it.

I know you've commented on it. I know you've worked with James in exposing how they're using the homeless that we went out to cover, the homeless industrial complex, in order to get all of their petitions signed. This is critical, by the way, to get anything done in California. And this is a great example of you just said. Like it's an on-camera example of what you just said. It's total and complete fraud

on-camera. Is this what you're alluding to or is there more, Steve? One hundred percent. This is a real on-camera example. And he kind of closed the loop, as it were. And I met with James that weekend when he was doing this incredible work. And so you and I saw the front end of it where you see the fake homeless service provider where there's nothing there, just as a parking lot with a porta party, and that's it. So that's where the money was not being. spent and then James provides the other end of it. That's where the money is actually going cash handed out through non-profits that are supposed to be working to help the homeless, actually getting them to sign up for ballot initiatives and even to register to vote under fake

names and fake addresses. I'll give you another example that we found at Caldose. This is one billion dollars since 2015 that was supposed to have been spent through part of their climate nonsense on installing solar panels on low-income apartment buildings, right? 100 million every year since 2015. We looked into it. Total amount of money actually spent on solar panels, 72 million. 928 million, nearly all of the billion, actually went to Democrat groups doing exactly what James filmed there,

voter registration and activism in the communities that were supposed to be getting solar panels. It's just completely corrupt. This is absolute banana republic level corruption from Gavin Yusum and the Democrat machine. And you and James O'Keefe and Nick Shirley and we are exposing it and we're going to shut the whole rotten corrupt enterprise down. And you promised to prosecute the politicians who benefited. 100%. And that's really important.

I'm running for governance. It's not just me. I've got a whole ticket running with me, a slate of candidates, including for Attorney General. a fantastic fighter called Michael Gates. He was the city attorney in Huntington Beach, great where I launched my campaign. He's already, he fought Gavin Newsom in that position. He sued Newsom over housing mandates,

voter ID, the sanctuary state law, and now he's running with me for Attorney General. And we have absolute clarity that we're going to find the fraud, stop it, and prosecute and put these people in jail. And by the way, if I need to build more prisons to house the fraudsters, that's going to happen as well.

We're not going to let them get away with it. You love to hear it. You probably will, frankly, need to. Or you can work with the Trump administration to deport the ones that are illegal. And we were able to find an enormous amount of that. That's what all the homeless shelters are for, right? They're just places to hide from ice. And it's repulsive.

It's truly grotesque. I can't believe your day to day waiting through this filth, the sludge and sewage. I just can't believe it, the temerity that you have. And that's, I'm just talking about Eric Swalwell and his dating history. That's, that's all I'm talking about there. What's going on there? I know it's allegations. I'm well aware, but like every, we've been talking to some people, some people on the left, and they say this is real as a heart attack for Eric Swalwell. What's, what's happening here, Steve? We've been hearing it for months from multiple different sources. And it's astonishing.

to me that despite that, it felt as if the Democrat machine were moving behind Eric Swalwell to support him. He got the endorsement of the SEIU, the two big unions. The SEIU, the teachers' unions endorsed him for governor, tens of million dollars flowing his way to try and put him in there as their puppet. They don't care, actually. All their lectures about, you know, gender equality and women's rights and me too and all the rest of it. They don't care. It's all BS. They just want their puppet, and this is the arrogance of this Democrat machine in California, 16 years of one-party rule. They have complete contempt for the voters. They lie, they are total hypocrites, they don't believe in nothing except their own power, so they're perfectly fine to go along

with someone with these allegations. We'll see if he continues. But I mean, who else have we got to choose from? I mean, as the president would say, as we discussed, they're not sending their best. You've got Swalwell. You've got Katie Porter. You've got the self-hating billionaire climate fanatic, Tom Steyer. That's it. Those are your choices for governor from the Democrats. There you are.

I'm leading. I'm on 22%. And there's Swolewell on 18. By the way, that was a poll commissioned by the unions supporting Eric Swalwell. And then they put out a social media post, Swalwell personally, saying, I'm leading.

I'm leading the audience. He meant, He's leading against the other Democrats. He literally took me off the top and just put a graphic, that exact one that you're showing with me removed from the top, from his own poll. These people are just unbelievable. So if these allegations play out,

and if, in fact, Eric Swalwell has this deluge and avalanche of credible allegations against him from all of these young ones, women who work for him, which is what's bubbling up right now, which is what's being talked about right now. Should he drop out? Well, of course he should, especially, as I say, after all their lectures for years, including from him, about these issues, because it's just total brazen hypocrisy. But they have no shame. They have no shame at all. They have no principles. They have no morals. It's just about power. And remember with Swalwell, he already ran for president once. if that was a fiasco, why is he running for governor of California?

You know, he doesn't even live here. His home is in Washington, D.C. He doesn't even live in California. And yet he's running for governor. Why? Because it's about power. He just wants to run for president again. And so it's just a bump in the road as far as he's concerned.

What's been made of that? Because I saw the reports that his home was tied to some law office. You know, it's like, here's my residence. It's a law office, like where his lawyer is. Yeah. Like a PO box. The California Post reported to speak to the neighbors of his home. Have you ever seen?

They've never seen Eric Swole. He's never been there. It's just a room in some building. His wife and his family is in Washington, D.C. Fine. He's in Congress. I understand. You want to be, that's fine.

But then don't run for governor of a state you don't even live in. It's a joke. Yeah. So he might be disqualified. Who knows? Who knows with these people? Maybe. Maybe he should be disqualified.

disqualified by his own actions, but I, you know, I will, it will boggle, it will boggle the mind to see how the actual vote share shakes out. We'll see what happens with Eric Swallow. It's very, very interesting. I mean, we, it's amazing how these people have the capacity to self-immolate and light themselves on fire. But then the hubris to like just keep, keep going. Yeah. Final, final question, Steve, have you, what are you going to do with the, what are you going to do with the high speed rail? what are you going to do with that that special nature bridge that would bring all the cougars into the suburban neighborhood with cats and dogs what are you going to do and what are you are going to be there with us the butterflies it's very important got to have that in

california meanwhile we have the worst roads in the country like 50th out of 50 states for the quality of our roads um the thing i say benny about high speed rail which by the way their actual official plan. They just admitted they need another $125 billion to finish it. And even on their own plan, the final stage of it from Bakersfield to L.A. is a bus. That's the actual plan. They're not even talking about finishing it with trains. It's a high-speed bus. By the way, not some of it's LA traffic. No, it's true. And sometimes that trip from Bakersfield to L.A., we do it many times, that can take two and a half hours when you're going in the car or bus. So they were saying originally it was two and a half hours from San Francisco to L.A.

Now it's two and a half hours on the final leg on a high speed bus from Bakersfield to L.A. These people is just believable. So the line I always use at my events and my town halls is, yeah, of course, I'm going to stop that thing in its tracks. Except they haven't laid any tracks. So I can't even do that. Oh, what a night. What a nightmare. Steve, we're just so proud to have been such a, we just, we support you. Obviously, we support, honestly, the, uh, the saving of this great land is a beautiful state. If you break it down to its core elements, it's a state that you shouldn't, you shouldn't abandon to state with so many gifts from God. It is such a, it's a crown jewel of America. We're thankful for good men standing up and fighting. Everybody support, uh, the number one leading candidate for governor in California, the man who can win. Steve,

like Ukraine, Russia, or Algeristan, whatever the hell. How many bags were delivered to the Biden family through Hunter Biden? He go. He go. Hunter Biden has fled the United States of America.

He's living overseas. He claims he's $17 million in debt. He can't pay his lawyers. So why not just leave? He will return, however, for a cage match between Eric Trump and Don Jr. Ladies and gentlemen, who would win? Here you go. Hey, guys, Hunter Biden here.

I just got a call from Andrew Callahan. He asked me to come out on the Channel 5 Carnival Tour at the end of the month. I think we start in Phoenix and then we go to San Diego and we end in Albuquerque. and I think he's trying to organize a cage match me versus Eric and Don Jr. Brilliant. I told him I'd do it 100% in if you can pull it off. And if you can't, I'm still coming. And I think he's got a lot of other surprises up his sleeve, a lot of fun.

And I hope I could see you guys out there. You can get tickets online right now. And I'll see you out on tour. Okay. Oh man. Okay. What is the take on American, the state of American politics? Have we become idiocracy?

And is that a bad thing? Never go for return. Like, no. Okay, hold on. Take a giant reverse step back. Let's look at this in this most positive light. Because it's Friday, it's free for all Friday, and we feel, we're feeling good this morning. In its most positive light, isn't this what our ancestors would want?

Go back to the tribal ancestors for whence you came. Take a moment. Get in touch with the ancestors that built Stonehenge, right? It's you, Stonehenge, a loincloth, right? A club. What would your ancestors demand? Your ancestors would demand that those who control the tribe, that their sons fight to the death.

Wouldn't that be like the way to settle things? Have the king's children fight to the death. Good. Okay. Yeah, good. Okay. Right. Big. Chris Nolan. Music. Have them fight to the death. Wouldn't that be, wouldn't that be what you want? Isn't that in your bones?

Isn't that a good thing? Shouldn't we, we should, we should embrace this. I know Eric and Don, I don't know Hunter Biden. We should totally be forward. I'm totally down. Totally down. I am tangential. Friends with Dana White, I've been able to, like, at least like when, when I get invited to UFC stuff, I can see him, be friendly with him.

I should suggest it. Why not? Like, the children of the king, let them fight. Let them fight for the kingdom. Dude, that would be awesome. Is it Eric and Don Jr. versus Hunter Biden? Alone?

Who would win that Klein? Klein's a big time UFC guy. Crazy. They're outdoorsmen. They're good shooters. Yeah, that's right. They're like, they might not look up, but they're athletic. Eric is freakishly tall.

Eric's like 6'5. A big dude. Don Jr. is like a big wilderness. guy and like a big hunter and uh you know big outdoorsman dude might yeah my hunter biden does hundred biden does have like sort of that like crack that like crack head energy right you know so he's like wily so i'm not sure he's like you'd know exactly yeah yeah it's not sure he's like eh he's wily so i guess he not sure you know i don't know does does hunter get his laptop is that like one is that like a tool is it him plus the laptop from hell

Right? Yeah. Does he get a hit of the crack rocks in between around? That's right. He left all his baggies of cocaine at the White House client. Okay. They're all at the White House. So, you know, he's hard up. Yeah. I would be for it. But will it actually happen? Apparently, he has fled the nation. Court filing bluntly states that Mr. Biden lives abroad and argues that the first son cannot afford to pay off his outstanding fees. And the law firm, the defendant Hunter, and his tax and gun crimes and other legal battles, claims that he failed to pay his bills in excess of $50,000. Podcast appearance, he said he was $17 million in debt. Woof. Okay.

The Hunter Biden spoke, the Biden family spokesperson, declined to comment to the Daily Mail and did not specify where in the world Hunter Biden lives. But it's not America. Okay. Got it. Gotcha. All right. I would I would totally wish to recruit for this fight.

I think it'd be great. I think it'd be good for, oh, look, there's the cage match. Huh. Is that Eric Trump? He's way taller than that. But like, yeah. Yeah, there you. Okay.

Here's the actual. Okay, that's the actual cage match. Okay, we're generating cage match images of the Biden's. I think it'd be good. I was disappointed, and I know ALX was the most disappointed.

Okay. Ladies and gentlemen, what for the good of the country and world shall we do here? J.D. Vance on Peace Talks. This is going to be the big news of the weekend. So why don't we leave you, leave our show with this? J.D. Vance saying, well, here's what going to happen. I'm heading to Pakistan, Islamabad. And I'm going to go, hopefully things will end up baud with these peace talks.

But here he goes. We're looking forward to the negotiation. I think it's going to be positive. We'll, of course, see, as the President of the United States said, if the Iranians are willing to negotiate in good faith, we're certainly willing to extend the open hand. If they're going to try to play us, then they're going to find that the negotiating team is not that receptive. So we're going to try to have a positive negotiation. The president has gave us some pretty clear guidelines.

And we're going to see. So I hope you guys have a safe flight. We'll certainly take some questions later on. But for now, let's get on the plane and hit the road. Thank you all. There you goes. All right. Just a reminder, ladies gentlemen, when President Trump goes,

you don't have the cards. that what happened next was this after Zelensky got sort of his little beat down here at the White House. What happened next was Zelensky showed up in a suit. And all the various criticisms that we had against Zelenskyy that things changed a bit. They got ship shape, right? This is what you should want from world leaders. This is what you should want for your government. You should want respect.

You should want circumstance, pomp, above all else. You should want honesty. When there are lives on the line, when there are big decisions to be made, when there are fortunes to be dashed against the rocks or upheld, when there are entire nations, peoples and civilizations at hand. You need our president to, one, have all the right and correct intelligence. and then two, as we believe as we believe as Christians, to have prayer and to be calm, to be a peace, blessed are the peacemakers, that they will inherit, for they will be called the children of God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God. Trump orders Benjamin Netanyahu to calm down.

Hey, Alex, can we do, can we do one more? Can we do one, can we, can we call for one more exciting clip? Can I get, can I get the don't, the, they don't know what the F they're doing clip? This is, this is about Trump and Israel last, this is about Trump and Israel last, you know, last year. Israel, Iran, going, got like bashing up against each other, a ceasefire deal. gave us one of the most legendary Donald Trump moments. Sorry, that was my coffee here. One of the most legendary

Donald Trump moments. Give me that. Yeah, there it is. Yeah. Trump says, NetBee, calm down. Right? Please. Remember, he got Zelensky to wear a suit talking like this. We'll see. What is this? What is this? The throwback.

Here we go. They violated, but Israel violated it too. Are you questioning if Israel is committed to? Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs, the likes of which I've never seen before. The biggest load that we've seen, I'm not happy with Israel. You know, when I say, okay, now you have 12 hours, you don't go out in the first hour and just drop everything you have on them.

So I'm not happy with them. I'm not happy with Iran either. But I'm really unhappy if Israel's going out this morning because the one rocket that didn't land that was shot, perhaps by mistake that didn't land. I'm not happy about that. You know what? We have, we basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the fuck they're doing. Do you understand that? Pray for our president, please. Pray for our president. I support Donald Trump. I want the best for Donald Trump this administration.

We will remain in supporting President Trump. We will not throw a temper tantrum. We will not light ourselves on fire. We will not be telling you to vote Democrat. We will not be joining with the left to destroy this country. There have been huge wins in this administration, and we are going to continue to back our president. Three-time Trump voter here.

Enjoy the ride. And also enjoy your weekend here in the greatest country honor. Okay? Like sometimes it's good to just log off a little bit. I'm going to be doing that this weekend. Just log off. Just log off. And read your Bible.

Romans 1219. Do not take revenge, my dear friends. Leave room for God's wrath. For it is written, mine is to revenge. I will repay. Sayeth the Lord. Yes. That's tough.

I mean, it is tough. This is a tough one for men. This is probably the least. This is like the most hated verse of the Bible for men, right? Men love revenge. I want to see the sons of the kings fighting to the death. I want to see it. Yeah, Romange!

But this is what the scriptures are. The scriptures are not about calling us to be the lowest form of ourselves, calling us to be enlightened and the highest form of ourselves so that we can create God's kingdom on this earth, or at least a little part of it. And so let God have what is gods, right? God is the author of life and death. Let the vengeance be the Lord's.

Ladies and gentlemen, and carry on with us. On to victory, that is assured, and this is the greatest country on Earth. Have a great weekend. See you. Carlos Delgado. Excellent choice. Too bad I got him three rounds ago. You're still on the clock. Oh, shit. You gotta do stuff.
