I wanna begin by showing you where we are actually inside of the United States Capitol. And it's gonna be kind of hard to see and maybe we can go to the wide shot here

and you can see we got this giant ornate room. We've got a roaring fire, which is actually just a light inside of the fireplace. They'd probably arrest us and kick us out if we lit a fire inside of this room. Ladies and gentlemen, we are honored to be here as part of a Republican study committee outreach to creators and streamers.

And we're gonna, well, let it rip today. Wanting to show you what our whole and full setup is, we did a tour for your viewing pleasure. Here we go. Do not take for granted what we have been given. This grand experiment in self-governance. We can preserve it, but we gotta do it all together. The golden age of America begins right now.

Obviously the United States Capitol. There's no studios here but we built one damn it and we are ready to rip. With a mega stream today featuring the speaker of the house Mike Johnson, Margaret Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, James Comer, some of our absolute favorites, and of course the legendary Tim Burchett. It's all going to be happening right here and it's going to be a rip-roaring good time. Okay, let me show you guys our studio. Let's rock and roll. So you walk inside, we build ourselves a little green room here, nothing but style and bam! We lit ourselves a little green room here, nothing but style, and bam. We even got the light for the fire. Look at that. They didn't give us that. We lit our own fire. I don't think this is legal actually inside a category.

We'll be smoking cigars, I hear, from some members of Congress. We're going to be asking questions directly from you, the audience. We'll be reading the chat, we will be naming the handles, and will be asking the questions that the people want. Now is the time for transparency in our federal government. That's what we voted for, and quite frankly, we're in charge. So join us soon, live. It's an honor to be here. Get your boy Benny. Let's freaking go. Pretty cool, right? Again, it's our honor to be here and we're thankful to be invited, but more importantly, it's our obligation to you as an audience.

It's our obligation to make sure that you come with us, that we don't gatekeep, that we take the questions directly from you, and that we give shout outs to the chat. So nothing but love to the chat. We just want to thank you for bringing us here. It's a movement of all of us. We're building a movement and we're doing it for our children, our families and for our future. So ladies and gentlemen, let's rock and roll.

If you want to make your data disappear, just like Epstein, maybe you should be using Bunker. Just a thought, ladies and gentlemen, most people, uh, don't have some type of, uh, creepy globalist network that they're trying to hide. Most people just want to stay safe from cyber criminals and from people stealing their data. That is what Bunker was created for. It's one app that can help you lock down some of the most important information in your life,

like wedding photos, baby pictures, special memories, financial information, IDs, birth certificates, passports, and tax documents, wills, trusts, and insurance.

Some of the questions come in via the apps that you're watching. We are streaming, we're multi streaming, right?

So the questions will come in, we'll log them, and then we'll pop them up on the screen from the producers. I can't promise you that we'll get to every single question. I will promise you that we are taking the questions live and taking them from authentic, real users that are watching the stream live right now, just like you. That is our promise to you.

And we're gonna make this a series, by the way. We wanna do this with Tulsi Gabbard. We wanna do this with Cash Patel. We, we wanna do this with Cash Patel, we would love to do this with Cap Ambody, we'd love to do this with Donald Trump, right? And then it's a user focused connection to the bass. And that's something that obviously we have been using the platform for the last week in order to bang the drum on.

He's here? What's that? Oh yeah, he's here? What's that? Oh yeah, he's here? All right, rock and roll. Fantastic. So that is what we have been using the platform for, for the ability for our authentic audience to meet people like the great speaker of the house,

speaker Mike Johnson, who is here right now. And welcome to the stream, Mr. Speaker. Welcome, this is great, what a fantastic room. There is a shout out to Nancy Pelosi up there, a big photo of San Francisco, so. Yeah, I don't look at it. Yeah, I don't look at it. I look at it.

I look at it. Nice digs in either way. Congratulations on a historic passage of the big, beautiful building. Why don't we start with that? Thank you, a big thing. I know that was an answer to prayer, quite literal prayer, I think. It don't we start with that? Thank you. A big thing. I know that was an answer to prayer,

quite literal prayer, I think. Is that the way it was told to me? It was up to the last hours of that. And a lot of prayer and patience and teamwork. I mean, no one can take credit for it individually. It was truly a team effort. Lombardi said, I think it was Vince Lombardi said, victory loves preparation.

We did a lot of preparation, a lot of work. I mean, a year and a half went into that, but we delivered it and we'll be able to share that with the people for the next year and a half before that midterm election. There is so much disinformation about it out there, but I just wanna give an opportunity for you to thank Hocking Jeffries

for calling it a deportation machine on steroids, which was one of the best marketing. I mean, did you pay him? I don't know how it worked, right? Like, did you get him tickets to LSU game? Yeah. It's really not, that was an incredible marketing from Hakeem Jefferies.

Hakeem has given us a lot of gifts. The eight and a half hour filibuster effort was an abject failure. We have a highlight reel of people falling asleep behind them, you know. And I try to get up and be succinct. I mean, Reagan said no speech should be longer than 20 minutes.

I just want you, for the record, mine was about 11 minutes in length, but we had lots of ovations in the middle of it. So it went 23 minutes, they keep telling me that. But the binder, you brought the binder. The binder, it takes a lot longer, as I said on the floor, it takes a lot longer to build a lie than it does to tell the simple truth. And we have the truth on our side.

Yes. Your favorite elements of the bill, maybe you could just truncate them for us. There's so much, but what we did was we wrapped the entire America First agenda into one piece of legislation. And the reason we did that, people have to remember why the emphasis on reconciliation

is the only way around the necessity of getting 60 votes in the Senate to pass our agenda. We're never gonna get Schumer and the Democrats to go along and they have a 53 vote margin in the Senate, at a 53 vote majority. And so we have three votes to give in the Senate, three in the House. So we had to put it all together,

there had to be something for everybody to get them all there, but there really is. And so in the final result, you get not only the historic tax savings, the largest tax cut in US history, we also have the largest amount of savings ever in any piece of legislation in the history of legislators on the planet Earth. Okay, it's a 1.5 plus trillion dollars in savings drop in the bucket, but a very important turn on the wheel of that aircraft carrier that is the US economy.

We have many more steps ahead of us, but in the bill is American energy dominance, the secure border, the wall will finally be finished. And all the basic things that we promise. The ICE funding is hugely popular with this audience. Of course, of course, because it's a top priority. And it was the American people in the election, largely why we won. But we have regulatory reform.

I mean, we everything in there. And we're making the first changes to the welfare state and generations. And it's going to preserve the programs. Those safety nets are meant for a small population of people, the elderly, disabled, young pregnant women who are single, but it's been abused. When they expanded Obamacare into the expansions, everybody got on the wagon, all these young, able-bodied young men who don't have dependents riding the wagon.

You know what? We put work requirements in, and I can sell that in any town hall in any district anywhere in America. It's the right thing to do. You saying the town halls. Do you remember the Hakeem Jeffries video where he's like, the American people are behind us and he's standing in an empty field.

Yes. Yeah. Like you, again, do you like ask them to do these things? Look, the Democrat party isn't a real bind. They don't have a leader, they don't have a platform, no principles they can articulate. They're about to make a Marxist, the governor, the mayor Party isn't a real bind. They don't have a leader, they don't have a platform, no principles they can articulate. They're about to make a Marxist the governor, the mayor of New York City.

That's right, he's a communist. And I feel so sorry for my Republican friends in New York City, but it's great for us. And that guy, and how they're recruiting open, avowed Marxists to challenge Hakeem and others in the party, I mean, they've got a real problem. Not a good time to be a Democrat. So your team sent along one piece of data, and then we're gonna take questions a Democrat. So your team sent along one piece of data and then we're

going to take questions from the audience. Your team sent along one piece of data that I wanted to cover here, which was Republican fundraising numbers are at historic highs. Yes, right now. However, there's a huge conversation about, you know, this very thin majority. Yeah. And how we're going to keep it. A lot of news being made right now about what that strategy is. Can you give me that strategy?

Yeah, absolutely. In a nutshell, there's a couple of reasons for hope. First, we have to defy history. It's only twice in the last 90 years that a sitting president has picked up seats for his party in that first two-year cycle, that midterm election. But we're gonna defy history.

This is the group that does it. A couple of reasons for that. Real quick summary. We truly did experience a demographic shift in the last election cycle So we have a record number Hispanic and Latino voters black voters union workers Jewish voters These people are gonna stay with us because we're delivering on our promises and they will feel that before the election

I mean, this is nation-shaping kind of stuff and we it just so happens I think it's providential that we have the most favorable election map that we've had in decades What I mean by that is as we're sitting here there are 13 House Democrats sitting in districts that Trump won, 21 of them are sitting in districts he came within five points of winning. There's only three House Republicans sitting in common heiress districts so we have a totally offensive opportunity to go out and flip blue seats to red. We're in the candidate recruitment phase right now we got some all-star candidates the president's all

in he's helping me on that and we're man. I'm bullish on the midterms. I'm convinced we're going to grow the majority. The majority was grown and this election was won by young people. And here's our first audience question here from Golden Age 007. Speaker Johnson, what is being done to promote fatherhood and ensure that fathers have stronger fights and the presence of their children's lives? That's a stronger rights and for the president. Yeah, it's a great question. This was a pro-family piece of legislation. The one big, beautiful bill reflects our policy choices. You know, we increase the child tax credit, which affects like 90 million Americans. We are 91% of the country will benefit in some big meaningful way with

their wages increasing and all that it will help households to be stabilized. We also have the new this this birth fund, you know, we have a child it's incentivized you get an investment account. It's an incredible thing. I just had a child like on inauguration day. Oh, you're in busy that area. But like I just had a child inauguration. Do I apply?

Do I qualify? All this starts in January of this year at retroactive. January 20th. Yeah, man, you're it. Yeah, and invest it wisely, okay? These are big ideas. We're the pro-family party. We support the sanctity of life

and the sanctity of family and strong marriages, traditional marriage, and you're gonna see that reflected in public policy, not just in the big, beautiful bill, but in the things going forward. And that's important for the foundation of society itself. Why aren't more executive orders codified into law? I know that we have a rescission package that's going through right now.

That seems rocky ground in the Senate. Why aren't rogue judges being voted out and defunded in disbar? So on the executive orders, we're working every day, grinding it out to codify the president's executive actions. In the big, beautiful bill, there's over 30 of those included in the legislation. And that was really important. We wanted to get as many of them as we could into the reconciliation package because we knew that was actually a lawmaking exercise. It's now signed into the law. So these things are now permanent. They're codified.

We've passed over 50 of them already through the House. We'll continue to do more every week. They're going to hit a buzzsaw on many of these in the Senate because you're not going to get 60 votes. So using reconciliation packages is a key to make sure that we get it in. We have to survive the bird rule and not to get too deep in the weeds, but it's complicated. We have another reconciliation bill that we're planning for the fall and a third one, hopefully for the spring. So you can attach one to each fiscal year. So we're on the whiteboard exercise right now putting together the components brainstorming with everybody.

You're going to see more of this and we're going to codify as many of those executive orders as we can. I haven't heard any Republican make the case for why NPR needs to be funded by federal government. And we also what an extremist Elmo is. Of last couple days. Well, they weaponized Elmo, okay? That's what happens. It's true.

Elmo's funding is going through surker mode. I mean, look, this rescission's baggage, this is low-hanging fruit, Benny. You know that. I mean, this should be the easy stuff. We passed it through the House with flying colors. And you know, the idea that we would defund these abuses in USAID is long overdue.

We're not gonna fund transgender hoppers in Peru anymore. Congress didn't know that was happening. Now that we do, we can't stand for it. So we have to claw that funding back. This is the first of many, I hope, reprecisions packages. We need to send them to do their job. Fantastic.

Here we go, something that is near and dear to the hearts of obviously this movement and this channel. What happened to the January 6th video releases? Can you give us an update? Were they completed? Yes, they've all been released. They're all out there. All videos. There may be like 100 hours. There was the equivalent of like five years of video. I mean, it was 40,000 hours or something. There's a small subset that the Senate Sergeant in Arms and the parliamentarian over there insisted they had to keep private because it showed like the emergency private exits

and stuff like that. But other than that, everything is there. None of it's been altered in any way. It's out there for the public. I mean, I believe in transparency and we made that promise. Took a long time to upload it and do all that. Originally, we were trying to blur the faces

of like the citizens who were involved because we didn't want them to get doxxed and targeted and all that. But it became so cumbersome, everybody just agreed, released it, so it's all out there. So go judge for yourself. All right. Speaker Johnson, this is sort of on the heels

of something else that a lot of people are asking questions about. And because we've been lied to by our federal government for so long, I feel like there's some type of like a pain, there's a pain point, right? And the pressure cooker that gets heated up on issues like the Epstein issue. Yeah. Right.

And obviously that's something that's taken over a lot of the online dialogue. The question here about it that concerns either testifying or testimony for Jalaine Maxwell, potentially before Congress, or if you would support members like Marjorie Taylor Greene or Anna Paulina Luna on the release of subpoena, subpoenaing the Epstein documents from the DOJ, whether you would support either of those. Yeah, I haven't talked to Marjorie or Anna about that specific subject, but I'm for transparency.

We're intellectually consistent in this. Look, Reagan used to tell us we should trust the American people. I believe in that principle. I know President Trump does as well. And I trust him. I mean, he put together a team of his choosing and they're doing a great job.

It's a very delicate subject, but we should put everything out there and let the people decide it. I mean, the White House and the White House team are privy to facts that I don't know. I mean, this isn't my lane. I haven't been involved in that. But I agree with the sentiment that we need to we need to put it out there. And, you know, Pam Bondi, I don't know, when she

originally made the statement, I think she was talking about documents, as I understood it, they were on her desk, I don't know that she was specific about a list or whatever. But she needs to come forward and explain that to everybody. I like Pam. I mean, I think she's done a good job. We need the DOJ focusing on the major priorities. So let's get this thing resolved so that they can deal with violent crime and public safety and election integrity and going after ActBlue and the things that the president is most concerned about as we are. So I'm anxious to get this behind us. Yeah, I can see that because there's so many victories and so many wins that are happening. We just had the most incredible six months of any administration,

arguably in the history of the United States. There are so many accomplishments. It would take us a stack of papers aside. And yet we're having to spend our time talking about this. Let's get it resolved. That's going to be wildly refreshing for this audience. I'm going to speak on behalf of them to say to hear somebody just say, let's just have transparency with your American people, get it out there.

And there's no reason to protect predators, right? So, of course, but you know this family this is the family values party. Let's just do it what Epstein was involved It was an unspeakable evil. We've got to stand against it Not just in word but indeed and so we'll see what happens that look I do trust the president I know his heart and head is in the right place I don't I don't question that at all. And I'm convinced they're gonna sort this out. The reason why this is such an important question is that there is like real danger on the streets.

Attacks against ICE agents up 700%. We just heard today from DHS. One of those attacks, Mr. Speaker, was a member of Congress. Somebody named LaMonica MacGyver, who was just indicted. And while the news cycle moves very quickly, it turns out that she's going to get her day in court. What is your take on that?

And there seems to be pretty alarming trend in both houses, the Senate and the House, where Democrat elected representatives are like bum rushing. Kristi Noem, right? We saw with Padilla. It's unbelievable. I mean, I have been very vocal publicly and privately with these individuals in Congress on the Democrat side. And at every lectern and every time there's a press gaggle,

we've got to turn the temperature down. And the Democratic party seems, they seemingly believe this is in their political, it's a political advantage for them or something to make the enemy law enforcement. I don't buy it, the American people don't buy it, but it's leading to real danger and real peril for people who take that risk and put on the badge. It's unbelievable to me.

I don't understand why they're doing it. They're sealing their own political fate. But it has real world consequences when you have our heroes out there taking on unnecessary risk. I was at the Chicago ICE regional office a few weeks back visiting with the people there just telling them on behalf of Congress and rational people in this country. We love you. We appreciate you.

We're with you 100%. We got them a lot of additional funding. We're gonna have 10,000 new ICE agents because of the big beautiful bill and all the support that they need. But we got to have elected officials act like mature adults and not spur this stuff on, it's really dangerous. Yeah, what would be your take on Lamonic MacGyver? She currently serves under- She's on the Homeland Security Committee.

That's right. In fact, there was a hearing today. Is there going to be any type of consequences for her? So here's the delicate balance we have in the House rules, believe it or not, you're not prevented from serving on a committee if you've been indicted, and our first reaction to that is what? Okay, but, but, but then, but here's the other side that we have to consider. And these are things you got to balance. If a member just being indicted means that you're kicked off committees, and you're no longer effective in Congress,

you know, there's some leftist local DAs around the country that would weaponize that immediately, and they would start prosecuting and indicting all of, you know, all of our conservatives in the house. And then they'd all have to be kicked off their committees. I mean, that would weaponize that immediately. And they would start prosecuting and indicting all of our conservatives in the House. And then they'd all have to be kicked off their committees. I mean, that would be political dynamite, right? So you got to be careful to balance it. The House Ethics Committee is required to do an in-depth investigation when something like that is triggered and they are doing that in MacGyver. We're awaiting the outcome of that.

And then we got to make the decision on how to proceed from there. Just a random, just very important question that I can't figure out and please help me, please, I just gave me on this. There's a story, I don't know if we have it in our deck, but of AOC having a legal alien working on her federal staff. And since you know this operation inside and out,

and you're probably the most effective, I mean, I didn't know Republicans could pass laws anymore until I met you, but since you're one of the most effective speakers and you know the ins and outs, how does that happen, Mr. Speaker? It shouldn't. I mean, that would be a violation of federal law.

I would not be surprised if that were the case. They wanna give them safe harbor and sanctuary cities and all that. Why not have a sanctuary in your own congressional office? But if she's doing that, there's real consequences. And we'll have to look into that. That's the first I heard of it. I don't really follow it.

Yeah, the staff member self-supported because they've got a notification. Oh, that that's illegal? Nobody asked questions about it, but it's true. It's all the great, it's true, not by the New York Times. So unbelievable. I don't read the New York Times, I have to go find out.

What I'm saying is her congressional reporter wrote this up and it's like, well, this is a problem. Wow. Yeah. So she's alleged to have known that, that she knowingly influenced. Oh great. That's what I'm asking. I needed another project today,

but appreciate that very much. Thanks a lot. You don't have enough scandal. Looking on to the future, last question, looking out of the future, maybe like a, maybe, you know, we speak to a lot of young people, I have a lot of young people in the future. Maybe like a, maybe, you know, we speak to a lot of young people, I have a lot of young people in the audience.

I know you have a pretty fascinating story yourself. And like about choosing life, and about choosing family, and about choosing to like, to make your start here in this country, and not blackpilling, and not dooming. And given to the stature to issue of risen right what a what a remarkable story maybe a message for

things to come and maybe a message of hope for younger people yeah and we have to do it in a very short period of time I gotta go on the house floor that's right last question Texas victims but I'll say just in court short summary God chooses the lowly things to confound the wise stick stick to the truth of scripture, you'll be fine. You'll earn the favor of God and man. And God delights in using unlikely people to do these things. And, you know.

What if you could delay your next two mortgage payments? That's right, imagine putting those two payments in your pocket and finally getting a little breathing room. It's possible when you call American financing today, if you're feeling stretched by everyday expenses, groceries, gas bills piling up, you're not alone. Most Americans are putting these expenses on credit cards and there doesn't seem to be a way out.

American financing can show you how to use your home's equity to pay off that debt. You need to call American financing today before you get to the point where you can't make those payments any longer. Their salary-based mortgage consultants are helping homeowners just like like you, restructure their loans and consolidate debt, all without upfront fees.

And there's customers who are saving an average of $800 a month all around America. It's like $10,000 raised and it's fast, simple, and it could save your budget this summer. Call now before it's too late. 888-528-1219. That's 888-528-1219. That's 888-528-1219, americanfinancing.net slash Benny. I'm probably the least likely person

to ever hold this gavel, so I don't hold it too tightly. We're here, but for the grace of God, all of us, follow the timeless principles, stand for the sanctity of life, stand for what makes America the greatest nation in the history of the world. It's not even close.

We're the greatest of all time, most free, most successful, most powerful, most benevolent, because we were built on the foundation of truth. And if we lose that, we lose something that's necessary to hold a constitutional republic. So still an experiment in the world stage. Do right, do well, and God's going to bless America. That's my closing. How about that? Ladies and gentlemen, he called America the goat there. Do you understand? He said America's the goat. Thank you.

Thanks brother. What an honor. You guys. Here, thank you. Mr. Speaker. All right. And here we go. Ladies and gentlemen, that was fine.

That was great. How's it going, Dean? Hi, Lauren. What's happening? Great to see you, Vinny. What's happening? Oh man, we are back in DC and ready to get some stuff done. Yes, we're cooking. Yes. What's going on? Well, you know, right now we're working on the appropriations bills. And I would love for just one Congress to see these

actually pass all the way through single subject bills, individual appropriations bills signed into law, but we have this minority that we keep using, a slim majority, feels like a minority, we keep using that as an excuse and we might see an omnibus out of it. Uh-oh. Yeah. But at least it'll be a good omnibus, maybe. Written by Republicans and Democrats. Bless America.

Oh, probably. Okay, can you explain that though in simpler terms? Can you explain that in terms of- Sure, so- You wanna see every single bill go to the House floor. Yes, so if you recall, in 23, we had the big speakers fight, and one of the big demands that we had was we would have-

We remember. Yeah, we remember. So we wanted individual appropriations bills, single subject bills to fund the federal government. We have 12 of these bills that pass out of committee every year. And every year we kind of pretend to work on them individually,

but then they all just get shoved together. And then we have a minibus or an omnibus bill that ultimately gets signed into law. Now in the last Congress, we did not have the Senate. So we were going to see that more than likely, but we at least wanted to do our part in the House and have those individual bills. And we got about nine of them passed. So we did pretty good.

We did pretty well for Congress's standards. And now we do have the Senate. So it is possible to pass these individually, but will we? We have a lot of weak Republicans as we've seen, even with some of the fighting with the big, beautiful bill. Some of them may be even too strong of conservatives to actually come to a point of agreement. And so we may end up seeing these again in an omnibus bill.

And maybe that's better than another continuing resolution because we know that the public doesn't like continuing resolutions because that's just funding the government on Nancy Pelosi's policies again. Yes. So the chances of this happening would be great, but we're watching like that the Republicans

in the Senate can't even cut NPR funding. Right. Which is insane. Insane. Maybe even help me since you work here. Since you're so beloved by our audience and they trust you. Why would Republicans vote to keep funding NPR and PBS? We've already seen what an extremist Elmo is. Okay. Yeah. See that out. You know, Elmo had a total crash out. Why? Like, what is it? Has anybody gone to you and made an, explain that?

No, this is actually, this is something that absolutely blows my mind, that we cannot cut funding anywhere. And this goes back, even Reagan said there is nothing that is more eternal here on earth than a government program. We create these government programs to fund something and they're never temporary. They are everlasting and it is so difficult to actually get this funding cut. We've seen this with the pandemic

and the spending levels there. We can't even go back to pre-pandemic, pre-COVID level spending here in Washington, DC. And there's so many people who are addicted to the actual spending, and maybe they feel virtuous or feel like they're owed to spend this money to keep these things afloat. But if they can't stand on their own,

why did the American taxpayer have to fund that? And NPR, they have plenty of money. And Sesame Street, they have plenty of resources. I mean, Hakeem Jeffries was just on the House floor a few weeks ago with an Elmo doll. If that doesn't pick him up some sales, then I don't know. That's right. Hakeem Jeffries, we just asked the speaker about this.

Maybe you can help us. He called the big, beautiful bill a mass deportation machine on steroids, which is the best marketing I've seen anyone do in Congress. I'm sorry we didn't come up with it. Right, what were you, Congresswoman Boeber? Yes, well, right, I should have. I did reach out to him after he said it.

I'm like, thanks for the tip, Mr. Leader. But no, it is a mass deportation machine on steroids and Stephen Miller is the one holding the injection pen. So, I mean, it is amazing to see the work that is taking place. I mean, look, in Colorado, we have Trendy Aragua that was terrorizing Aurora. And now we're even seeing that the state of Colorado is releasing sex offenders because they aren't mentally stable to stand trial after attempting to

kidnap a child. And so, I mean, the whole system is rogue in every sense of the term. And we have got to get these deportations funded, which we did in the big, beautiful bill, and we've got to ramp them up. So I'm excited to see this machine at work. So here are some of our questions. We're doing live questions from the cat. This is one, since you are one of the youngest members

of Congress and you're certainly young at heart no matter what, never ask a lady her age. So I don't actually even know, but from Alexis. One of the youngest grannies in Congress. There we go, all right. Here we go, from Alexis says, "'What is the best advice to give to a 20-year-old "'who's trying to make a living

"'while living in the state of California?' "'Presumably being a Republican, conservative, "'living out in California. "'Technically Colorado's a blue state.' So I think you'd know a lot about this answer." I think my number one piece of advice is move. If you want to keep your money that you're working for, get the heck out of California. I have friends that are doing well

for themselves and recently relocated to California for work and they're seeing that nearly half of their income is being taxed. And so if you want to actually keep the money that you are working so hard for, get out of there. Go to a state that is not imposing these extreme taxes. Now in Colorado, we have the Taxpayer Bill of Rights, we call it Tabor, and that actually protects some of our tax dollars from the state squandering. California doesn't have that, and if we didn't have it, we would look a lot more like California in terms of taxing our people. But even even so, they're they're also implementing fees every time you turn around. Now Netflix is going to be taxed as a streaming service for the state of Colorado. This was upheld by a court. And so now Colorado is going to tax our Netflix there.

So I guess I have to create a new account with my aunt's address in Florida or something. What's going on with Tina Peters? We always ask, so help us. And it's close to President Trump. Yes, I talk to President Trump often about Tina Peters. She's actually in a jail in my district and it's difficult for her to even get visitors. Yes, she was moved to Larimer County and she's in jail there and this is

something that I and many others have spoke to the President and Attorney General Pam Bondi and of course our FBI directors about intensely because what she's in jail for, these are state crimes. So I do want to put that aside. President Trump cannot just come in and pardon her. This is something that has to be done by Governor Jared Polis. And she was charged with these state crimes. But the ones that they hit her with, it's actually something that our current Secretary of State did on a state-wide level.

Tina Peters somehow released one password that got out to the public and this password was released after the election. No votes were changed, no election results were changed due to this, nothing was accessed. But just in this last election, there was passwords for 62 of our 64 counties in Colorado released and made public and the Secretary of State, Jenna Griswold, tried to hide this. There were county clerks who were not even made aware that their passwords had been released and this was during early voting in the 2024 election. So Tina Peters is sitting in jail for something that the current Secretary of State for Colorado did on a much larger scale. And now our Secretary of State is running for Attorney General of Colorado. The scales of justice are not evenly weighed there. And I do believe that President Trump is working on ways

to free Tina. And we have to get creative on that, how that's going to actually happen since it is state charges that she's in there for. Yeah, the state charges that she's in there for. Cause like from a federal perspective, there's not a lot that you can do there. Correct.

And she did have one federal charge, but they did not convict her of that federal charge because that is something that could have been pardoned in this administration. And I think they knew President Trump was going to be in there and would defend Tina for honoring election integrity and trying to expose any fraud that may be done in the state of Colorado. Let's talk pardons. So here's a question from Mike Farrell. Can they pass legislation to reduce the use of auto pens, requiring handwritten signatures,

executive orders, pardons, and so on going forward so that we know that it's actually not a Roomba running the country? Yes. So I think something like that, especially for the weight of the document that's being signed, I think that that is something that we can move forward doing. Look, we use auto pens.

I have an auto pen in my office, but I also know exactly what's going to be signed. There is a paper trail of saying, I approve this. So my legislation, if we are drafting legislation and they're just going to put on a digital signature or use an auto pen, well, then that has my approval and you can actually look through that. But to not have any record, any paper trail, line of a chain of command for this to be used, I mean, that's an issue.

Joe Biden is saying that he recalls all of the pardons that he approved the auto pen to be used for. He doesn't recall what he had for breakfast. He doesn't recall how to get out of a closet. This is documented by folks who were near and dear to him and protecting him and hiding him from not just America, but the world. So I think for the weightiness of a document, maybe there should be stricter implications made for actually using the auto pen. Now, when I sign a personal letter to someone back home, I honor my constituents as regularly as I can and celebrate them.

In my office, there is a ban on auto pens for those. If I'm going to send a personal letter to someone, I will be damned if we're using an auto pin for that. I want a special touch honoring that person. And so maybe there needs to be standards set across the board for the auto pin use. I mean, how could you conceivably sign a pardon with an auto pen when the president

doesn't even know the names, the New York Times just admitted that they were inserting names, the staffers were inserting names. Correct. Well, in the interview, it was only 10 minutes there with the Times and Joe Biden, because they can't have him vulnerable and exposed

for much longer than that. Who knows how long the drugs take to wear off, you know, when that cognitive decline like really sets back in and the peak is gone. But yeah, that was a very short interview and we all know we see the cognitive decline. We saw it in the first campaign and we were lied to for years. And I think that's why this is still a big story. We're not running against Joe Biden again in the next election and we're not.

He's not anywhere near the ticket in 26, nowhere near the White House in 28. But the narrative is still every Democrat covered for him. I have Democrat colleagues who were furious that they couldn't even go to the White House and see the president and have conversations. They said, no administration operates like this. And it certainly doesn't. I've been to the White House and seen President Trump

many times this year alone and that's how it should be, that regular communication and those visits to keep the president up to date and members of Congress weren't even allowed into the White House to meet with the president. It wasn't real. It wasn't a real presidency. No. He had fake rooms built and everything. Fake rooms? Right, he had that press room where they- Oh yeah, that's right, the fake White House. Yeah, the fake White House.

You mean the resolute desk? Exactly. Yeah, Fisher Price, that's right, okay. It's a fake party, they don't have real supporters and they don't have real donors, and ActBlue is something that is currently being investigated, I think by committees that you serve on. Yes. This is a question from Harmony Galpal9.

Ms. Boebert, what is going to happen with those politicians that got donations from ActBlue? Why can they keep using this fraudulent donation service? Yes, and so I don't know if anything is going to happen to the members individually, but certainly those who run ActBlue, there's been issues that have come up with ActBlue for quite some time now.

Project Veritas, James O'Keefe Media Group, they've done a great job of exposing exactly what is going on at ActBlue. I did a very short, a few minutes search into ActBlue with some of my largest donors in Colorado and closest friends who I know donate to the Republican Party and their names were on it. My name was a donor on ActBlue.

My ex-husband's name was listed as a donor on ActBlue. Don't mean to be rude, but can I stop you there? Yes. Hold on. You're a very well-known Republican member of Congress. Yes. You have many millions of followers on social media. Yes.

People know you when they see you walk down the street. You're donating to Democrats. Oh, well, I am not. According to ActBlue. But according to ActBlue, Lauren Boebert has donated to Democrats. We've covered this because there have been many guests on our program and shockingly,

it's probably easier to count the guests that didn't have their names and addresses stolen from them and this is identity theft. This is a real federal crime. This is real teeth to it, right? And easy to charge. So you're saying you're a victim of Act Blue laundering money to Democrats.

That is absolutely correct. And not only is it the identity theft, but they are straw donations, which is also illegal. You cannot donate in someone else's name. And the forms are very strict and detailed. So we can actually track who is donating. But for the person who used my name, my ex-husband's name to donate to

ActBlue and many people who I know would never donate to ActBlue who are listed, and some of them, I mean, it's hundreds of thousands of dollars that are on there, one person in particular. And so not only is that identity theft, but they are straw purchases. It's kind of like a straw gun sale. You cannot, I cannot purchase a firearm for you in my name and then give it to you. So it's kind of similar to that. And honestly, I would be more okay with a straw gun purchase than I am a straw donation because this is something that follows you. I mean, people actually look at your donor history and see what kind of policies and politicians you support. I'm sure the Trump administration has pulled donor files on everyone that they have interviewed

for this administration to say, are you really a Republican, or are you just saying that to get this job? That's a great point. So now that will be in your permanent record. And if you're applying to work at a state party, or if you're applying to work at anything that to get this job. That's a great point. So now that will be in your permanent record. And if you're applying to work at a state party, or if you're applying to work at anything, even tangential to politics, it'll skew you one way or the other.

Beside the fact that it like is a violation, obviously, of it seems like a civil rights violation, because what they're doing is they're taking your name and likeness and address and donating something antithetical to what you believe in. Yes. Well, and then think of that too. So what's gonna happen? Like, you're sitting here, you're walking the halls with all of these members of Congress that are accepting these stolen dollars and these stolen identities. Like, what the hell's gonna happen? Yes. Well, so as a member of myself, so if someone did that in my name to donate it to me for Red, Red, Win Red, we, they have ActBlue, we have WinRed.

So, you know, I mean, there is a little bit of sympathy there. I get donations from WinRed, and I don't know who they're coming from. And so you can't vet every single donation, but with ActBlue, the fraud has been so widely documented that someone needs to be held accountable. And I do believe it needs to start at the top, because individual members of Congress are not going through every single

donation that is made. Maybe some of these larger ones that would kind of raise a flag and say, okay, where did this come from? Who is this person? Oh, wait, they're a Republican. Why are they donating $100,000 to toward my campaign? And so now that is a very large amount for campaigns, you know, you can't receive all that. But still, if someone is actually earmarking that to you, where is it coming from? And I think those folks there at the top need to be held accountable. So in the Oversight and Judiciary Committee, We are deposing Matthew Reedy today for information. And so that will be coming out shortly. And so hopefully we get more information about this Act

Blue. But I don't think with the work of James O'Keefe going door to door and asking people individually if they had made, I think you've even done it before, Benny, and said, have you made this donation? And them saying, no, I never have never donated to anyone that we would even be where we are today. Yes.

Okay, so judicial committee hearing, that would be most likely the committee where a Julian Maxwell would testify. Would you be in favor of that? Absolutely, yes, yes. Of course we want answers. No one is satisfied with what has been received or lack thereof.

No one is satisfied with the rollout of this. Of course we've heard that Dan Bongino is not satisfied with the rollout of this either. And I mean, I think you hear time and time again what an honorable standup man Dan Bongino is. President Trump, he obviously thinks highly of Attorney General Pam Bondi. I don't know her personally, but I know Dan.

And he's a wonderful man and I have no reason to doubt him. And I think moving forward, we need a special counsel. That has got to happen. There has to be a special investigation into this if we aren't going to be provided information. Now, there's a lot of things that Attorney General Pam Bondi is doing well. Of course, President Trump is doing many things well, the FBI is doing a great job, our Department of Homeland Security is, you know, this mass deportation

machine on steroids, and now they have the funding to go after it even more. But this is something I hope it doesn't become a false idol to Republicans where we just lose sight of everything else. But that doesn't mean we don't want answers. There are plenty of good things to focus on and so more that we need to do to really get through the next four years and hopefully the next eight years in a Republican majority. God help us, God willing. And so this is certainly important and I want answers.

And maybe that takes that special counsel to do so. Maybe Matt Gaetz can lead the special counsel. Would you vote in favor of that? Absolutely, yes. You know, Matt spoke highly of Pam Bondi and saying, you know, that she's the best attorney general that President Trump has had. But yeah, Matt Gaetz as a special counsel, absolutely. So just one quick follow-up on that.

Oh, you know, when it comes to the restoration of faith with the American people, that is a practice that Congress has actually assisted in with the requests of documents for JFK. And I use this like, because I'm trying to be a friend. All right. I love this administration.

Yes. I love this president. And we know so many people that are working. I'm just trying to do all tough love, call it whatever you want. Right. I'm, you know, I'm just using this as a golden example. The JFK releases by Tulsi were incredible and learned a lot. I mean, we just learned that like Oswald was like

practically a CIA informant or agent. And they've been hiding that for, and everyone's very impressed by Congress getting that information. And these are requests made through Annapolina's committee, I believe you're on. Yes. Yes, okay. And so by you and your committee, and so I just,

maybe final question here, but can we use those tactics in this instance? Because what that did from our perspective, and we read the chat and we read the comments, there's this pressure cooker that built up, but the government's lying to me and they hate me, and they're lying to me, and they killed my president, right, they killed the president, they nearly killed Trump.

And they're lying to me about killing a president. And that's like so evil. And then what you do in your committee is you release that pressure. And that's so good for our country. It actually is so helpful for all of us that you release the pressure on JFK. And everyone's like, okay.

Now they're being honest with us. That's nice. Thank you. And it immediately restores faith, right? Maybe it's not perfect, but it jumps, right? And can we apply that to the Epstein case because I see that deterioration and quite frankly, it's gonna be hard.

I want people to trust, but I want people to trust like Dan in cash, right? And Pam, when they're doing something or I want those wins to be, I want their wins to be wins and not to be shadowed by this. Absolutely. And so transparency is the only way to garner trust,

to regain it and to move forward at being trusted by the American public. That's why I'm here. I didn't trust my government. And so I said, well, I'll go there myself and see what's in there. And so this is imperative. And credit to our chairwoman, Ana Paulina Luna,

who has been on this from the beginning. Now, the only difference in the JFK files, RFK, MLK, Jr., the only difference is our task force has to deal with the declassified documents. Epstein was not something that was declassified, but certainly something we want to have released. And so we've been working on the things that were declassified. Tulsi Gabbard has done amazing at providing us information, and there's still more information that is coming out. And yeah, we need to get to a point where Congress can also subpoena records or be given records to have actual hearings on.

A lot of times hearings can be frustrated because it seems like it's just a lot of talk a lot of questions with no answers. But it is something that the American public is watching paying attention to and can receive information and then dissect that themselves. So with the Epstein files, certainly people want as many questions asked as possible so they can get as many answers as are available and we're going to continue with those declassified documents as well in this task force and Chairman Chairwoman Luna has done an amazing job thus far and I think that she will certainly continue in that. I just wanna thank the audience for their patience with me as we are building a system here for answering and asking your questions.

I have to be able to read them correctly. Just very quickly, one more question directly to Congresswoman Boebert. Why can't you subpoena Joe Biden to answer questions about the auto pen and get a deposition? Is there any precedent for that? I don't think that there's any precedent for it,

but I'm not against it. Why not? We could subpoena anyone we want. Democrats wanted to subpoena President Trump and why couldn't we? I mean, the only thing is we wouldn't get much out of him. You know, this actually goes back to the last Congress. We wanted the her tapes released.

And you know, there was a deposition where Joe Biden was, they said that he was not fit to stand trial. And they released the transcripts to us and would not release the audio. And we were demanding that from Christopher Wray. And, and we were denied. And the Democrats were saying, Oh, well, anything that's in the transcript is the same thing you're going to get from the audio tapes. But now we have learned that that is not true. Exactly what we suspected took place where he was given audible cues, where there were long extended pauses, where there was stuttering that was not actually transcribed. And so this would have proved further our accusations

of his cognitive decline. And that's when he was still running for president. So that was something that we should have had then. And so if we need to get a deposition with Joe Biden again, seeing that he's mentally fit or not, we'll find out. But also I think there's many people who should be subpoenaed, including Jill Biden. You know, we could bring Hunter Biden back in, you know, might have to sober up for a

minute. It was a really hard week for him, you know, to come in clean and, you know, get it all out. But, you know, bring him back in. And then, of course, the chiefs of staff that were that were at the White House as well, those folks that were actually acting more as president than Joe Biden ever did. But again, we aren't running against Joe Biden in these next elections, but it is important to A, expose any fraud that was taking place with an auto pen

and see if these documents are valid any longer, and B, prove that Democrats will lie to you at all costs to have power. And that's exactly what they were doing. And this party has not changed one bit. So if they lied to you about Joe Biden's cognitive functions, they will lie to you about anything else just to get back in power. Except the mass deportation machine, not steroids.

That was true. That was very true. Thank you so much. It's always such an honor. I'm going to go vote. Okay. All right. Good luck.

Yeah. Vote right. I don't think I'm, I don't think I'm allowed to lobby. I don't even know what you're voting on. So all right. Thank you. Thank you. Yes, that's right.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Yes, that's right. Thank you. Thank you, Congressman. I don't even know. Okay, for everybody watching this, I don't even know. ALX, what's up, man? ALX, chilling. Okay, how are we doing? I hear that the votes are going a little late. Yeah, the votes are going a little late.

Looking here at the chat and I'm wanting to update everybody that we had, we have a lot of comments and we are working. I thought we had a solid system for getting the comments in. It seems like the best is probably going to be sending them in the chat so that I can read them. And I apologize, ladies and gentlemen, the comments just were coming in so fast.

We were able to gather some before the show. They're coming in so fast. I think we have a system down now. I think we're good now. All right. But we appreciate, well, the fact that we've already made an enormous amount of news. I mean, goodness gracious, the speaker saying,

yeah, let's release everything. Bring in Jolene Maxwell, that is a monster get there. Ladies and gentlemen, a monster get for us is this big, beautiful room that we are broadcasting from with the great president right over my shoulder, a golden bust of George Washington, ladies and gentlemen.

Ladies and gentlemen, while we wait for our next guest who, we can ask, obviously ask, you can ask me some questions, I'm happy to take your questions, but I wanted to chat with everyone about something really neat

that happened over the last couple of hours and something that happened based on a number, a series of phone calls that we've had in the very, very small hours of the evening that have meant a lot to me. And I hope will mean a lot to you. And so let's settle in for a little fireside chat here, shall we?

So I love this fire. I don't know if we have a closeup of the fire, but we literally lit the fire here. Just a rockin' team. Massive shout outs to our production team. Their names are, of course, Keillor Klein, as you know, from the morning stream, and Colden, who has just freshly joined our team is a brand new state of

Florida resident who took Congresswoman Boebert's advice got out of California He's joining us from the Adam Carolla show where he was working there in LA and he is now rocking in Tampa with us I'm so happy to have cold in here with us This is a fireside chat, let's go I Got a couple phone calls yesterday. Now, before you jump to conclusions and think that it's the phone call of angry President Trump screaming at me to like stop talking about Epstein, that's not it. Okay?

In fact, it was the opposite. It was really neat and incredibly encouraging. It was various members, key members of law enforcement, federal law enforcement community. Some of them have been here a long time, some of them haven't. Either way, I was starting to get sort of a constellation of what's really happening right now

on the Epstein disclosures. And let me tell you everything, and here we go. One, Dan Bongino is back in his office. He hasn't quit. He was able to speak with President Trump. Cooler heads were able to prevail, and we were praying for that. We wanted that with Elon and Trump

when they had their little blow up, right? Two alpha bulls in one pasture. It's just not gonna work out. That is just the way that it is, water under the bridge. But we really didn't want Bon Gino to go. Dan Bon Gino's been like a mentor to me. Dan Bon Gino's helped with this show and this audience. Dan Bon Gino's the guy that calls me like late at night

when I'm about to go to bed, but you take that call, right? And you listen to him and he's giving you good advice, right? He's watching the streams, watching the show. He's always been just such a great homie. And so I'm a massive fan of Dan. Here's the best part about Dan. He's got a huge heart, right? He's got like a really, really big heart.

I'm not talking about a COVID vaccine way. I'm talking about like, he's like actually born by, born of like caring about people and like, and really showing his... Hey man, we're live streamers. We are live multiple hours per day, sometimes multiple times a day, oftentimes on the weekend. The grind never stops in the Trump era.

certainly more than his show or our show or anything else, the future of this country. He's a father. He loves this nation. He loves this movement. He loves the MAGA movement. He loves President Trump. Dan Bongino is a massive President Trump fan

and he wants to see President Trump succeed and he wants to see bad guys go to jail. I know this, trust me, I know this. Dan Bongino did not take a severe pay cut, like you're talking 10,000% pay cuts in order, he had one of the most successful podcasts on planet earth, right? In order to come here and to cover up for the swamp.

That is not what Dan Bongino did. But he no longer has one of these. I'm not gonna touch it, I promise, Cole. He doesn't have one of these. So it actually falls to, I would argue, far lesser talents, okay, and far lesser commentators, but nonetheless, in our own humble way, being able to make the case for Dan

and for what's happening right now. Or better yet, in order to push positive energy as to what the base really wants, likes and cares about and what they wanna see done. And we've tried to do that in a very fair and even handed way without, you know, torching people or flaming people or crashing out, but by giving like gentle, you know,

or maybe not so gentle nudges that this is something that the base cares about. It's a test, it's a test. And here's why it's a test. It's a test because we don't wanna pay taxes to pedophile cults, okay? The end, that's it, that's my entire explanation. It's really not that hard.

But more importantly, I guess if you wanna go out and get into a very deep level, like a visceral level, like what you believe in, it's a class warfare thing, isn't it? You know, I'm sitting here, like all of us are carrying these giant bags all day. Like we work with our hands, we build things, we build this studio.

These elites, they abuse children and they get off and they have protections that none of the rest of us have. We are working class. I come from mud. I come from nothing. I went to community college and mucked hog stalls. Literally shit up to my waist. That's what I did to make my bones

to pay for my community college. Okay, that's where I come from. And that's probably where you come from, most likely. And that's hundreds of millions of us in this country have to live like that. And our children have to live like that. And that's just the way it is. All right. And it's a class warfare thing, really, with this Jeffrey Epstein stuff.

It's not a left or right thing. There should never be, I mean, obviously, the Democrats have a bad history with this stuff. There should never be any safe harbor for any predators. There is no, like, you know, there should never be any safe harbor for any predators. There is no, like, you know, there shouldn't be any safe harbor forever, any predator. But there are classes, isn't it? It's not a left or right thing, is it? It's not like a political zeitgeist thing.

Now a bunch of Democrats are screaming to release the Epstein files. The boiling point of this is a class warfare question. We, the normal pay our W-2s, pay our taxes, people in America get our calluses on our hands. Us normal people watched elites rape kids on a private island on private jets. And then they got away with it.

Those effers. And like the obscenity of that, the in your face, spitting in our faces that they can get away with it is what enrages the masses about that. That's why it plucks a nerve. Not because of Trump, Biden or Clinton or anything, not because of any of that,

but because we are sick of being spit on as the working class in this country, as the Americans who keep the damn country running. You could get rid of the elites and nothing would change. You got rid of the working class, the people that fill potholes, as we're walking in, as we're walking in. There's a dude just out here.

He's a Mason and he's like building, not a Mason, like, ooh Mason, but like a dude who just like does rock work, right? And he's just fixing the Capitol. He have fat capitals, old building, big old rocks, pieces of rock fall off. And he's just a dude, right? He's got all this mud all over him.

He's got grit on his face, grit on his hands, dirt under his fingernails. And he stops us, he's a subscriber to the channel. He's like, just like, he's got grit on his face, grit on his hands, dirt under his fingernails, and he stops us, he's a subscriber to the channel. He's like, just like, he's like, thanks, man, thanks for like, thanks for like keeping it real out here. You know, nobody wants to work, nobody wants to work here. I'm like one of the only guys that like shows up to work. Everyone gets a paycheck,

but I'm like the only guy showing up to work, right? And I just like appreciate it. We listen, I listen to your channel all day as I'm out here fixing bricks. It's like a proper grafter. He's out here fixing bricks at the US Capitol. And this dude is a subscriber to the show. And that is like one of the greatest honors.

We sat out there and talked with him until we got so many mosquito bites, we had to keep moving. We had to get the show ready. Point is that this, if you got rid of the elites, the people that were flying on Epstein's plane, nothing would change in this country. If you got rid of the guys who fixed the bricks

and the sewer systems, you wouldn't have a country anymore. You'd descend into Somalia, you'd turn into South Sudan overnight. into Somalia, you'd turn into South Sudan overnight. And it's those people, the guys who work in manholes, the guys who work with brick, you know, work in bricks, and we feel very privileged to do what we do, but there's physical labor involved when we consider ourselves working class.

Those guys, us, that's why this pisses us off. Because it's one more time that these privileged silver spoon elites that most likely didn't do anything or aren't particularly impressive, I've met plenty of them, like that those people that had things handed to them have decided that they are going to take

the gifts that God gave them and the gifts that they were born with and abuse. Typically abuse people from where I come from, right? Trailer parks. That's where Jeffrey Epstein went to go cruise for chicks. He sent Gillian Maxwell to go to the trailer parks to find women who had broken homes, who didn't have fathers present.

And it's sick. So they prayed off of where we all come from. They prayed off of the working class for their own sick pleasures and their own demonic practices. And we want these bastards to feel it for once in their lives. We want these bastards to feel what it looks like to not have that protection.

We want everybody who knows them and everybody who's ever been their friend and everybody who's ever like, whoever like even texted them while they were going to the Epstein's Island to feel fear. The kind of fear that people felt in January 6, quite frankly, I'll tell you this from inside of the Capitol.

You know, I was invited to January 6th, the Trump speech. I've lived in fear for the last like six years, right? Because my name, not because I didn't go to anything here, whatever, right? We've had nothing but J-6ers on our show, like big advocates for them. But I had my name on a seat there for here, whatever, right? We've had nothing but J-6ers on our show, like big advocates for them. But I had my name on a seat there for Trump's speech, right? I was invited by the White House,

listen to January 6th speech by Trump. And I've lived assuming, and my wife and I had this conversation, I've lived in assuming that a Fed would kick in my door, right? And just because I attended the Trump speech would like in my door, right? And just because I attended the Trump speech would like, haul me off, right? They'd come up with some, you know,

they were trying to come up with some reason, right? Haul me off. Obviously, thank God that President Trump pardoned J-6ers and we pushed that behind us. And even Mike Johnson just said, I've released all of the tape. Everything that doesn't have some type of security element to it that cannot be released for security purposes,

you have it all, you have five years of footage, go for it. That's transparency. I felt that fear. Every person, I just assumed, I just assumed it would happen, you know, cause it was just happening to everyone. Every person, like, why, I just assumed it would happen, you know, cause it was just happened to everyone. Every person, like, why should I feel like that?

I did nothing wrong. That's like the power of the DOJ when you actually angle it directly at the people, when you actually angle it directly at a group of people. What I'm asking for is for that searing heat and fear to be angled at child predators. That's what I want them to feel. The people who flew on that plane and the people who engaged in that activity,

I want them to feel that at any moment a Fed will kick in their door and their life will be over. That's what I want. That would be justice. That would be righteous. That's good. These people are evil. There's no greater evil on earth. And so that's why we ask. And that's why we keep asking.

And we do it out of love for the president's administration and care for the people that we are close with. And now I have the update. Sorry for that long-winded answer. My producers are telling me that it's just a few more minutes till our next guest. Who will our next guest be, by the way? We have an incredible slate.

Here's our updates. Dan Bongino's good, and he's gonna stay at the FBI. How long is he gonna stay? I'm not sure. I wasn't given a timeline. He obviously had a very public blow up with Pam. Trump's calmed everything down and calmed the waters. Dan Bongino and Cash Patel want further disclosures. I know that doesn't matter now. They want further disclosures, maybe a special counsel. They want more. Okay, just know this.

They want more. I'm not pointing the finger of blame necessarily because I do believe that it is a complicated issue in the sense that you don't want to re-victimize people, obviously, and so on. Okay, I get that. But there's real truth to there being a now large, motivated movement of people inside the federal government that want a principle,

special counsel, that want far more muscular and massive disclosures, and that that is growing because of us. That's growing because of our activism. That's growing because of our activism. That's growing because of what we are doing on this channel and on other channels. I reported this out last night. I reported out that there is now a very strong movement for more and a very strong movement amongst our base

for true justice on this. And I think that quite frankly, the process is the punishment. True justice would be just being out with all the files and all the evidence. That would be actual justice. And the people who not only were a part of this, but also enabled it. Again, here's a clip.

I don't think we have it loaded, but there's a clip of Cindy McCain, who probably has chilled out in this room before, I don't know. We're on the House side, not the Senate side. But Cindy McCain, like lived up here. Her husband ran the damn Senate. And here's this clip of her. Let's load it. There it is. Here's this clip of her that says that where she's like, we all knew what

Epstein was doing. We knew it. We knew. It was known. He was our donor. You know, we just didn't want to do anything about it. That's insane lady, like what an insane thing to say. She's one of the most powerful women in all of politics. And here she is like, I think we have the clip actually. All right. Here she is saying this. This is what I'm talking about when I talk about justice. Here we go.

Did you get a broken clip? Okay. All right. here we go. So that's the update, ladies and gentlemen. We are winning and we are doing our level-headed best to ensure that this is never a question that we ever have to have again. The process is the punishment.

The fact that we, the fact that we've caused this amount of punishment, oh, ladies and gentlemen, it's a victory for all of us. And we're winning. Representative August Flueger here live. Let's go. Thank you so much for having us. Oh my goodness. I know that you're in charge

of the Republican study committee and have invited us to today. And so thank you. This is the first time ever that you've invited new media into the Capitol. And so it's our honor to be here. Well, first, thank you for being here because I think what's going on right now around Capitol is just, it's incredible. Unpack that. Well, winning is fun. Passing bills, achieving the agenda that President Trump was elected to do, it's fun. And I think Republicans like to be right, but it's also fun to win. And we're winning and it's an incremental approach.

Democrats spent 30 or 40 years trying to destroy this country and they did it incrementally. And what Republicans are doing right now is incrementally clawing it back. It's not perfect, but it's winning. And we've got to get used to that. We don't need a two-year majority. We need a 20-year majority.

Yes, or a hundred years. Honestly, I mean. I didn't know, congressmen, you know, respectfully, I didn't know that Republicans could pass laws. I didn't know congressmen, you know, you know respectfully. I didn't know that Republicans could pass laws. I Didn't know that was the thing Republicans were even capable of doing Yeah for years this show and this audience was lied to by people like Paul Ryan You don't have to drag him. I will saying he's gonna build a border wall. He's gonna fund the border He's gonna fund ice. He's gonna fund Trump's border wall. He did a little sizzle video praising himself riding horse on the border saying,

I can't wait to build Trump's border wall to do anything. In fact, to the opposite. But you guys like freaking pulled it off. That's the thing. What's the difference? Yeah, what changed? It's a mentality shift, okay?

And it's kind of back to that Reagan model of 80%, right? If I can get 80%, right? If I can get 80%, that's a victory. Business people will tell you when they go to the negotiating table that they have to get some sort of return on the investment. They have to get a win. If they can get a win and they know, it's very unlikely they're gonna get everything,

they'll start high. Trump is the master at this. He's the art of the deal. He knows the deal. Republicans today have taken the approach of, okay, it is the master at this. He's the art of the deal. He knows the deal. Republicans today have taken the approach of, okay, it is not perfect. It's like, I can tell you a hundred things about the bill that I wish were different. But you know what? I can tell you a thousand things that and that I'm very happy that we did. And I think that's the, it's a mentality shift. We're winning because we're like, we're going come back, we're not done.

In fact, this is step one. This is step one, so that's the difference. As somebody who loves the state of Texas so very much, so proud of your state, you gotta be really thankful for the mass deportation machine on steroids. Am I getting that right? Am I getting that right?

And did you like, did you slip a note to Hakeem Jeffries and tell him to call it that? How did you pull that one off? That's like the best marketing, respectfully, it's the best marketing I've seen is from Hakeem Jeffries for this bill. Isn't it crazy how they're advocating for criminals and rapists and murderers?

And how do you report back to your constituency when you don't have the decency to stand for Lake and Riley's parents? when you don't have the decency to stand for Lake and Riley's parents? When you don't have the decency to stand for Jocelyn Nungaree's mother? When you don't have the decency to clap for a young boy who all he wanted to do was be a federal officer, a secret service officer? How do you have the decency? He's from Texas?

Yeah, exactly. He's from Texas, right? That's exactly right. The young man? The young boy is. Yes. And these tragedies occurred under their watch. So to say that we are glad that the border is secure is the understatement of the year.

To say that we are glad that we are removing criminals and potential terrorists, which I have worked on, as hard as any issue out of our country to make our country safer. I mean, my goodness. This is insane that they can't get on board with this. This is the opposite, Congressman. They're electing communists. They want a communist who wants to tax. This is one, we looked through all of his policies.

So Zohan Mondani, I know New York's far ways away from Texas, but you guys are gonna get a bunch of new congressional seats based on New Yorkers leaving New York, right? Like same with Florida, right? It's like California, New York, if they leave and then they come to our States. Dude, Zorhan Mondami, you're in charge

of the Republican Study Committee. You're the chair of it? You're the chair of it. So maybe you could study this. Is it legal to tax white people more? Because that's what Zorhan Mondami says. It's on his website right now. It says tax white people more. That's how we're going to pay for things in New York. Like, can you study that? And maybe you can give me an answer right now.

I'm not sure there's much to study on this. This guy is he's Republicans everywhere are going to hold this up as where their party is going. Yes, they're so lost. Yes, they're they're so rudderless. And the fact that this is the shining star, the example, the person that AOC is campaigning with to say, look at where our party is going, because there are good Democrats, and I enjoy working with we disagree on things, but there are still some good ones. Unfortunately, they're following Adami. And they have nothing to say for it, other than an anti-Semitic message, which is what

they're endorsing, a pro-socialist government takeover of private endeavors inside New York City, which is what they're endorsing, and so many other things. It's unbelievable. Not much to study on this one. It's, as a Republican, you go, we have good policy. We're gonna fight for good policy. And I know that because there are multiple Democrats, every single vote we put on the House floor

that are voting for our policy. It's very interesting. Multiple Democrats, 20, 30, 40. Because there's a lot of districts, the speaker was here talking about this. There are a lot of districts that are Trump districts that are currently occupied by Democrats. 15. Correct? Yes. Yeah. If my number is correct, I think it's 15 districts that Trump won that are represented by Democrat representatives, which we hope will change in 2026. Well, this actually ties

in perfectly to the question that we have from the audience. And this is probably the single most popular question that the audience is asking. They wanna know about term limits. You're the perfect guy to ask this of. How would that happen? There seems like everybody sees, everybody sees like members of the Senate. Who was it?

Was it Barbara Boxer? There's a member, Dianne Feinstein. Literally come up here like terminally ill. I mean, it's awful. It almost seems immoral, right? What happened with Joe Biden? Immoral, actually, an act of immorality. Like it's like evil, in fact,

to do this such a terminally sick person. Maybe term limits would help that. The floor is yours. What are your thoughts on term limits? Sure. And look at the age discrepancy between Republicans and Democrats right now. Because we have a meritocracy. yours? What are your thoughts on termites? Sure. And look at the age discrepancy between Republicans and Democrats right now. Because we have a meritocracy, you can only serve three terms

in a position of caremanship of a committee, and then you're done. And it creates competition. Democrats are all seniority. You have to wait here for 30 years until you become chairman. I didn't actually know that. That's really interesting. It's very interesting. And by the way, many Democrats have confided in me that and not even confiding, they say it out loud, we wish our system was like yours because that would make us sharper. It would make us more competitive. We could compete with your ideas. Unfortunately, we have people who are, you know, in some cases in very poor health that are running and are in charge of committees. So sure, term limits. Don't ask my wife about them. She's very pro term limits for family.

Yeah, she wants to be back with your beautiful family. Absolutely. We have four children. We have three girls. Yeah. The deep state, I'm in my third term. Understanding where these bureaucrats are that have for decades controlled the agencies have written regulations and basically things that have the full force

and effective law, the oversight that is needed is not a two or three term job. It is not a 20 term job. It's somewhere in the middle. If you can't get in here as an Air Force guy and promote, and I don't mean position, I just mean by influence of do your job well, figure out how to do a better next term, so on and so forth. If you can't do that in about 12 to 14 years, you're probably in the wrong business. I think that's what the constitution was written for. Term limits will always be a discussion. I would be open to looking at this. I also believe that the people of this country need us to make sure we have oversight of the agencies

that don't have term limits, that will never have term limits, that will never do a town hall in my district to come say why they wrote some overreaching, egregious regulation. I'd love for the CIA to do a town hall. By the way, I was with the director, Rick Recliffe.

He is doing a phenomenal job of rooting out that deep state and owning what should be the shining star of all of our agencies, the CIA that should be helping our national security and they are and he's doing a good job. His memo was incredible on Comey and Brennan. His memo was remarkable, yeah. He's a good actor, he's a transparent guy. Just very, very quickly, I know we're up against a hard out.

The B-2 bombers, you're an Air Force guy, it's gotta be a huge point of pride for you. Have you ever seen one of those? Have you ever flown one? B-2s know F-22 that escorted the F-117s that escorted the B2s. Yes. These were my friends that flew this mission. That's so cool. These were the guys I trained that flew this mission.

Freaking cool, man. Very proud. If I can just real, real quickly talk about the Republican Study Committee. Thank you for asking about it. Yeah. It is an incredible group. 189 members, the conservative conscience of Congress. We are conservative. We also come to the table.

We want to be a part of governing. So you asked early, like, how did you guys do this? Yeah, I have to give some credit to our members in the Republican study committee who for months in advance of this bill, got together, talked about it, debated, had a dialogue, you know, substantive conversations, pushed leadership. The very first time we pushed them after our winter retreat at the end of January, they said, we're going to save $350 billion. We're like, no, you're not. We're going to save way more than that. And that number has to be trillions, not billions. So don't even come to the table

unless we are going to meaningfully save. And I wanna say more, was disappointed at the final number that the Senate came back with, but we're gonna get back after it. This is what the RSC does is, and you being here, the first time we've ever done this

to have members come through and talk to you, and thank you for getting the message out. It's great. I mean, the whole setup, we did a full walkthrough but the setup's incredible. You've hooked us up and he's also, there's 30 different, there's 30 different independent creators that are here at the invitation of the Republican Study Committee

for the first ever digital media day. And so we just wanna thank you, Mr. Chairman. All right. All right. Godspeed, Congressman. Thank you. All right. Good to see you. Thank you, guys. Were you jealous you weren't onspeed, Congressman. All right. Good to see you.

Thank you, guys. Were you jealous you weren't on one of those bombers? You jealous you weren't on that mission? Yeah. Yeah. The sex were flying around. And they were like, oh, what would you give them?

One more mission. And everybody's like, yeah. Ah, it would have been so cool. I just, yeah. Hey, man. You got all the big shots out there. Mr. Chairman. Yes sir.

It's great to do this in person, man. Good to see you. This is fantastic. You make a lot of news. Yeah. Boy, someone was right about the AutoPan. Yeah. Yeah.

Someone was right. What's it like being the most right person in DC? I know I've asked you this a couple of times, but it just keep, you keep like, can we go to the casino sometimes? Like how, you have very good luck in this. It does I know I've asked you this a couple times, but it just keep you keep like, can we go to the casino sometimes? Like how you have very good luck. It doesn't translate to the casino. I occasionally visit one. It never does translate. Okay. Okay. So auto pen. I want to start with this garbage fake news from NBC. NBC is like,

Oh, Jane, Jane, Congressman Palmer used an auto pen once. And that means he can't ever talk about an auto pen again. Can you please explain that? That's exactly what they would do during the Biden influence peddling investigation. We discovered that Jim Biden had funneled $200,000 to Joe Biden, which was from a scheme. We traced the money.

We traced the laundered money from the scheme to Joe Biden's back pocket. And the next day, the media came out with a story, Comber loaned his own brother 200,000, just like Jim Biden loaned, which was, they just made that up. So they came out with this auto pen story. I have given dozens of interviews saying that

everyone uses an auto pen for correspondence, but you can't use an auto pen for legal documents. A judge can't use an auto pen to sign a warrant. I can't use an auto pen to sign a subpoena. If you sign something real estate related that requires a notary public, you have to use a real pen. Anything pertaining to the law has to be used.

You have to use an ink pen, a real person sign it with an ink pen. What we're talking about here are the pardons and executive orders. They were signed with an auto pen on days when Joe Biden was in the White House. So why, if Joe Biden was in the White House, did he not just sign it himself?

Now we've got this, you know, evidence that emerges that Joe Biden wasn't competent. Jake Tapper's book said that. We're pretty confident John Pierre's book's going to say that. That's why they pulled him off the ticket after he won the Democrat nomination. Obama and them saw him in the debates like, my God, this guy's not all there. And then all of a sudden, all these pardons and executive orders and everything start rolling out of the White House after he's pulled off the ticket. They're signed when he's supposedly in the White House. So did he even know about it? The New York Times story yesterday, Joe Biden interviewed the first real interview he's done since he left office, and he admitted he didn't know all those people

that he was pardoned. So that's very damaging. It's a devastating interview. I don't know how you get around it. Now I know they buried the lead 17 paragraphs in, I counted, but paragraph 17 says that Biden staff inserted names into the pardoning documents that Joe Biden didn't know about.

Yeah, think about all the prosecutors and all the time that was probably put in and tax dollars spent in prosecuting many of these people. And then some staffer just sticks a piece of paper in an auto pen and signs Joe Biden's name and poof, they're pardoned. I mean, that's not how the system set up. The constitution doesn't allow the president to,

if you work for me, Benny, say, hey, Benny, you go pardon anybody you want, you can sign my name in the auto pen. That's not how it works. The pardon has to be by the president. The president is supposed to thoroughly understand what he's doing. And then he overrides everything that was determined by a jury, by a

court of law. He has the power to do that. So the last check and balance in the whole process. And Joe Biden admitted, yeah, I didn't know. I just, I gave the staff authority to pardon whomever. I mean, do we need to bring all the staff in with the staff getting paid to do that? I don't know. I don't know. But were they related? Did they have a conflict of interest? You can't do what Joe Biden did. And he admitted in the New York Times he did it. We're concerned about the pardons, but we're really concerned about the executive orders. Most of these executive orders were signed during the lame duck period. Most of these executive orders were signed during the lame duck period when Donald Trump won, between the November election and January when Donald Trump takes office.

That's called the lame duck. So everybody in the Biden administration knew Trump won the election, he was going to be president. They start signing a lot of executive orders for the sole purpose to Trump-proof this administration. One reason that it's hard for Donald Trump to deport the criminal illegals is because of these executive orders. One reason it's hard for Donald Trump to eliminate government agencies like USAID and Department of Education is because of executive orders. So we think that everything that was signed with this autopen from executive orders. So we think that everything that was signed

with this auto pen from executive orders and pardons can be ruled invalid in a court of law. That's why we're doing this investigation and hopefully we'll get results very soon. I know that we're up against a hard out. I know that the audience loves this topic. Can you please just answer one very quick and important follow-up?

And I know this comes directly from the audience and they've been asking, will we see a Joe Biden called in to Congress by your committee? What happened with his doctor? Well, we're going to bring in the chiefs of staff. We're bringing in the inner circle. We're going to see what they say. And then we'll go from there. But I think it's very possible that you could see people from the Biden family if they're implicated in this auto pen scandal. That's why tomorrow we're bringing in

Jill Biden's chief of staff, Anthony Bernal, for a deposition. I subpoenaed him, he's coming in tomorrow. We're gonna ask what role did Jill Biden play in these executives? Because there are some that speculate that Jill Biden and Hunter Biden were calling the shots at the end. So it's very possible. We're trying to make sure we dot every I and cross every T and to make sure that when we subpoena someone, we're going to win in court and get them in here. So we'll see where this heads,

but we're moving rapidly. We've already deposed four people, including the doctor who pled the fifth, wouldn't even answer the question. Dr. O'Connor wouldn't even, the first question, Dr. O'Connor, were you ever told a lie about Joe Biden's health? I plead the fifth. That was his answer. My God, you know. So we're going to bring him in and hopefully we'll get an answer very soon. Very quickly, you did so much work on the Biden finances, the pardons went out to Biden's family. Okay, what about state level charges? What about what? What about state level charges?

There is no federal pardon power there on a state level. Have you ever spoken with any AG that would be willing? I have, I have. And I think that's something that hopefully was in the works. I would like to see a little more activity from the Bondi Department of Justice on some of this stuff. You know, everybody's like, you need to investigate this, investigate that.

Congress is investigating a lot of this stuff. All this Comey stuff that's coming out, all this Brennan stuff, all this Biden stuff, it's been investigated. It's time to hold people accountable. That we can't prosecute anyone, we can't arrest anyone in Congress, but the Department of Justice can.

We have that. And I think people that watch your show and people in my district in Kentucky, they wanna see people held accountable. Yes, yes. Maybe you've checked to the chat. Yeah, I'm with you. Yeah, okay, all right.

Best advice for Pam Bondi is what? Very quickly. Take the ball and run with it. People want to see accountability. There have been a lot of investigations. The deep state has been exposed. Thanks to Radcliffe and Cash Patel. Let's start prosecuting these people.

Let's set some examples out of some people. That's what makes you the fan favorite. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Godspeed. All right, Godspeed. Thank you for the use of this great room. Man, it's amazing. Ladies and gentlemen, Congressman Tim Burchett, the man who needs absolutely zero introduction, is here with his skateboard.

I made this skateboard. That's yours. I made it for Tulsi Gabbard. Really? Yeah. The president's State of the Union or whatever speech. He's like, Birch it. My birthday's next month.

Where's my skateboard? You got to hold it up. There you are. Look at that. Oh, that's just the thing of beauty. Look at that. How'd you make it? Okay.

I didn't know how you would make it. It's 60% bamboo. Let's see 20% oak pallet. I got an oak pallet and 20% bamboo excuse me banana fiber from the plant not from the fruit. I've been trying to work with people down Central America. If they'll make five thousand dollars a year they'll stay down there. And banana plants, they cut them after the harvest, and they just burn. So and there's incredible fiber and it's it's it rivals hemp really in the process to get it out a whole lot easier. And so I've just anyway, I'm trying to do that. But I made it for Tulsi. It's a prototype. It's not perfect. I mean, if you want, if you want if you want a cookie cutter one go to go to Walmart you know but it's but my buddies at Pluto Sports put the wheels and um that's wheels and trucks yeah this is a trouble can we go why yeah I mean that's just the thing of beauty if you know what you're doing else if you know you're you're bored that is a handmade gorgeous that is a gorgeous skateboard.

Thank you. I've never asked anyone to do this. In the course of this interview, would you be able to get on it and show people how it rolls? Yeah, carpet's a little tough. Okay, all right. I can try. I can break my neck. Okay, that would be good to tell them.

Maybe when we wrap, you can roll out of here and you just go wide for it, okay? I'm telling you guys, be ready for that. Okay. All right. All right. Yeah, we'll do it. I'm sure there's a lot of people potentially at the Justice Department that wish we would wrap the interview right now. Here's the reason why you've been on the show for years telling us that there is some

real problems in this building with some creepy people that don't want the Epstein list to get out. I don't want there to ever be any accountability. And now lo and behold, congressman, you turn out to be one of the most right men in the history of Congress. It's also gotten you a lot of media. People in the media space have noticed this fan tells the truth, even when it's unpopular. Got a lot of hatred from members too. Shh, they're all ticked off at me saying this stuff. But it's the truth.

I mean, when I said that the last time we were talking about that prostitution ring and I said, we talked about the Chinese and everything, and lo and behold, next week, Chinese prostitution ring, and lo and behold, the black book disappeared. And they said, influential politicians, government contractors, they thought were on that list. And you, you know, and everybody, oh, Burchett's an idiot. And then of course, the next week, I hated being right that quick. But it's a reality. I mean, you got dirt bags up here. And I'm hoping though, I heard the president's daughter-in-law say that they were going to release something

Trump's just just now released some stuff on the Epstein that they're getting ready to crank some stuff out. So- Wow. Wait, that's news. Maybe- Maybe I wanna get it off of a proof social or something. I think I just saw something a minute ago.

Somebody showed it to me as I was in passing. President, I thought I saw that. Okay, fantastic. This is a question that we have. It's one of the most popular questions. And you're one of our single most popular guests, Congressman. I'm incredibly good looking, you forgot to throw that in. And he's a handy, he's handy with a bamboo.

You weren't in Coat and Tide, what's up with that, dude? I know, man. I didn't want to salinski the speaker. You know what I mean? Yeah, I got you. Right? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. That's classic, that's classic.

I dig the suit. Go ahead, bro. So here we go. Please ask this question to him. Please, please, please. Mr. Congressman, Epstein was a human trafficker. Who was he trafficking humans to? Ghosts or actual people?

Are there any members of Congress that are being blackmailed because of this? Well, I have no idea. I think that's generally the gist of what his operation was about. But here's my thoughts on it. Everybody says Trump's on that list. Well, Trump's not on that list. Obviously, he was. Biden would have released that day one. Day one. And now it's been the trail's so dry, I'm afraid. Anything could get out, could have been doctored with. And I think there was any lists that they got destroyed. But I'll tell you, you know, criminals don't make lists, accomplished criminals, they don't

say, oh, this is, I did this on this date, this on that date, you know, because you know, it's just and the one thing, a caveat, it's a big word for me, but for all my folks out in East Tennessee, anything y'all gotta watch is what that really means, is this manifest from this plane because it doesn't necessarily mean somebody's pedophile because they rode on his dead gun plane. Here's what happens. I know rich people and they travel by plane. I don't, of course, not a rich person.

I make my own skyboard. You're both by skateboard, that's right. plane. I don't, of course, not a rich person. I make my own skateboard. But they, you know, say I'm flying to New York, hey, a buddy of mine's flying, is leaving tomorrow, you know, my plane's down. He said, well, just ride with us. I'll hook it up. And they get on the plane and it's Epstein's freaking plane and he's not even on it. And so they're on the manifest. And then all of a sudden they could be labeled a pedophile. And I think that is some of the concern of the president right now is that. But I think they ought to put that out when they if they put out a manifest, they ought to say these people are not under consideration or they weren't flying to the island or what

have you. That's my that's my thought on that. But I think I don't think it just like everything else in this town, it's the trail has gone cold a long time ago. And I think if they didn't release it the first month, which I said they wouldn't, which you and I have said repeatedly, that we're never gonna get it.

We're never gonna get the trail. I mean, it's like, you trust us to give you the Kennedy files. And you don't think we got the truth on those files? Hell, there goes another. I got an IOU in the swear jar. Has to be the title of my country music. Okay, because APL was on our show and she was hyping that Oswald was pretty much a CIA asset.

And I mean, I thought that was very interesting. You know, I asked the question. But you don't think we've got the truth. Oh, I asked the question of the doctor that was in the and in the emergency room and it should have been worldwide history. It should have been. Boom blows the lid off of it. He said that there was an entry wound and an exit wound, and they're going in opposite direction.

I mean, the entry wound and it exited and another one coming from the front exiting out the back. So there's obviously two shooters, according to this guy. He's a doctor, why would he lie? There's no reason to lie at this stage. But again, trails gone cold. I think the CIA killed him. I think it was a combination of very,

some people had a willing, you had the mob, you had LBJ and then somebody had to let their guard down. So I think it's a combination. There are, Roger Stone wrote a book on it. And I think it's probably the definitive book on that. Just really quickly, a couple of fan questions here. Really quickly, when will we see members of Congress arrested or sitting senators investigated

for suddenly becoming multi, multi, multi millionaires while in Congress when their salaries are like a hundred thousand dollars a year? Never, never. You just, you know, and the reason is you got 15% of the population voting and they know what to do to stay in power and they'll keep doing that, stay in power. Question from Dapper Dave on insider trading.

What happened to the push to stop insider trading in Congress? They made a big show and big hearings over it and then nothing happened. We have a bill myself, Chip Roy, Pryapal, whatever. I can't remember her name right. AOC, you talk about the most diverse crowd, me and Chip Roy and those other two,

and there's a couple of other liberal Democrats in there. I mean, heads explode when they see us walk out. Should be like a wrestling match in there, in the corner. But no, we're working on it. We're working on a bill and we're trying to get the, just get it down to the final. And do I think it'll pass? Heck no, it'll pass the House. And do I think it'll pass? Heck no.

It'll pass the House. And then Senate will either not take it up or they'll take up a version that's just a little different, Benny. And it's a better bill. And then they'll send it back over knowing that that's something that we won't. I mean, that's the game. And then guess what? I'll do another shiny object tomorrow.

But you know, that drives me crazy. People come in here and then they make, all of a sudden their picks are 300% return on, you know, and my buddy Tommy Siler, he always gets mad. I'm not supposed to say his name, but you know, he manages my, I think it's, I'm up to about $13,000 in my mutual fund. That's what we need.

I'm gonna have to cash it out because I got a favor my daughter's school. So I'm gonna be free of the market. So I'm just staying with baseball cards and comic books, which I'm selling by the way. Trying to get out of debt. My daughter doesn't want me, so what the heck? Final question.

If you were in charge of the DOJ, what would you do to restore the faith of American people? Seems to be a big crisis of trust right now. I would fire everyone there and make everyone reapply. And then they'd have to verify that they were, could do a job and what the heck they're doing. Because it's just too deep. And like I said, Trump comes in first term,

he fires the head guy thinking that'll do it. Not understanding that that layer is deep. And I said, Trump comes in first term, he fires ahead guy thinking that'll do it. Not understanding that that layer is deep. It goes deep and the corruption goes deep. And so I think you you fire everybody. And then you make everybody reapply. And that allows a lot of patriotic Americans a shot at doing what they want to do. And that's bus bad people. That's right. And ultimately, I think, you know, cash for tail and I'm and that's bus bad people. That's right. And ultimately I think, you know,

Cash Patel and my buddy Dan Bongino, I think are incredibly patriotic Americans. And they're like me are very idealistic, but they're very realistic. And I'm sure their frustration runs deep right now. Yeah, yeah. That's what we're hearing. We're also hearing that you could ride this skateboard

out of this interview. Are you willing to do that? Yeah. Potentially. I mean, we'll put the wide shot up here so you'll be able to see it. All right. All you'd have to do is, if you could go right, kind of right back there.

Yep. Okay, here we go, ladies and gentlemen. The first time ever, Clarence, Clarence. First time ever in history, the exit of the interview, the exit of the interview on a skateboard. And he rides off into the sunset.

He is the man. Yes, that's exactly right. That's exactly right. God bless you, man. How you doing, Senator Mike Lee? What's up? What's going on everyone? Senator Mike Lee. Let's get a round of applause.

Come on, killer clout, Senator Mike Lee. I love the soundtrack. There is actually a soundtrack. We just can't hear it because it would be weird with mics. But yeah, you just had a roaring stadium. Wonderful. I was at, sorry to just jump right in here, but I was at Student Action Summit

and there's a roaring stadium of MAGA fans. People who love their country and love this political party. They were roaring for people like Tucker Carlson talking about the release of the Epstein List, Megyn Kelly talking about the release of Epstein List, Steve Banner talking about the release of Epstein List. I know you've gotten quite a bit of engagement saying, I don't know a single person in Congress

that wants to protect these monsters. Talk us through this. What is this moment? Like you're such a deep thinker. What is this moment really? And how do we fix it? Look, this moment comes pre-packed with a whole lot of issues

that will grab people's attention. Number one, trust in government, particularly in the US government, is at an all-time low. Understandably, they've got a government that spies on them, lies to them, very often doesn't shoot straight with them and requires them to work many months out of every year just to pay their federal taxes,

only to be told that we're $37 trillion in debt. Then when you add to that the fact that we've had child victims, many, many child victims of a heinous set of offenses stretching over many, many years, expectations get built up, and then when they perceive that they're not getting that, they get upset. And so this is a difficult topic,

and it's a topic that's not simply going to go away easily. There are a number of ways around that, including by anything that will give the public a greater understanding of what the government has, what it doesn't have, where it doesn't have it or can't release it. A robust explanation as to why what's not being released can't be released, either because it's privileged grand jury proceeding material, or to respect victim confidentiality or something like that. And then finally, I think there are people who do know, who could talk.

Imagine for example, if we had Ghislaine Maxwell come and testify before a congressional committee, I think that could go a long way toward helping the public gain some insight into this long standing criminal enterprise that people are afraid will be swept under the rug. You have voices on social media, but I want to ask right now, will you be in favor of Julianne Maxwell testifying?

Absolutely, absolutely. I've posted on this. And if she were to testify, I think she could answer a lot of questions that could help put all of this in perspective. Yes. Do you have any instincts on what exactly was happening here? That does seem to be the rug, right? I know you know Tucker really well. I know you know Dan Bongino. I know you know a lot of these players. They're not monsters. They want the truth. Right. They didn't. Dan didn't take a 10,000% pay cut, right? To come up here and carry water for the deep state.

That didn't happen. Like I'm telling you, it didn't happen. Right, right. I know him and you know him. Yeah, I know a lot of these players, some of them are disagreeing with each other. Dan Bongino and I have been really good friends the last 14 years and good friends with Cash Patel

and also with Pan Bondi. I like all of them. I think there is a way to draw a straight line between all of them in a way that will satisfy the public's both curiosity and legitimate demand to know what happened. Yeah, okay. Well, I mean, it's very interesting.

It's, you know, it just seems like a class warfare thing to me. And the more I've thought about it, I've thought about like the visceral reaction. And it feels like the real anger isn't because it's a Republican in office or a Democrat in office or even that Clinton was part of this whole thing, right? The real anger is that it's the elites that are taking advantage of working-class people. They trolled the trailer parks for young women who didn't have fathers, they abused them, and now they're laughing at us, spitting in our faces because they can get

away with it again and again and again. And the working class of this country, which number in the hundreds of millions, are looking up at these people and saying, must we suffer another insult at the hands of these monsters? Right, right. And they see that Mr. Epstein got a pretty favorable treatment on his plea agreement that years ago. Favorable. And incredibly lenient. And then the second time he was taken into custody and the way he died, whether you call that a coincidence or something else, it piques people's curiosity and not without good reason. So I think regardless of how this is handled moving forward,

I think everybody has to acknowledge the legitimacy of real concerns that the American people have with this pattern that is itself incredibly troubling. Yeah. What's next for the Senate? I know that there's, you've had some members of Congress in here, very brave, because we've had members of Congress in here,

coming over to the House side, by the way, you're just very brave for doing that. Members of Congress coming in here being like, that damn Senate, they can't even do fund NPR. Can you talk us through this recession package? Talk us through it. We're all happy that Republicans are passing laws again. I didn't even know Republicans could do that in my lifetime.

But now there's these the next step after the big beautiful bill. What's that landscape? This ties into something that I commented on to my Republican colleagues in the Senate just a little while ago today in a meeting and that I later posted on which is that we have developed a mantra in the analogous context of voting rights. There's a tension. On one hand, you wanna make it easy to vote, but you also wanna make it hard to cheat. In the spending world, it should be easy to cut and hard to spend,

but instead we have the reverse of that. It's easy to spend in Congress and very hard to cut. There are a couple of more currents, a couple of procedural tools that most people like you, even people like you who are very engaged and you're by no means a novice of the political world, aren't even aware of the fact that these procedures exist because they're so seldom utilized.

But a president can propose recisions to previously appropriated funds, which can then be passed on a simple majority vote in the Senate. This is one of those moments. Now, we have between now and this coming Friday, this coming Friday, the 18th of July, to pass this rescission package. If we pass it, we can pass it with this simple majority vote.

Now, we're talking about, I mean, it's a lot of money to be sure, but in terms of federal dollars, it's terms of federal dollars, it's like $9 trillion, or relatively small compared to the overall sum of what we've, I'm sorry, $9 billion. This is a classic mistake in Washington, I'll just admit it. Roughly $9 billion. Only a thousand-fold difference between what I said

and what the truth is. Senator, everyone loves you and knows, if you were up to everybody, you'd be in charge of the Treasury and the Fed. But like the fact that you just made that mistake proves the point. It proves the point that maybe we shouldn't be dabbling in numbers this big.

I wish it were $9 trillion that we were cutting. In any event, $9 billion between now and Friday that the Senate can cut on a simple majority vote. In that cut, you have funding for things like NPR, which basically become the communications arm of the DNC. These guys are far left radicals, and they have the right to say whatever they want. They're protected under the First Amendment and in doing that, and I'll fight to the death, we have the right to do it. But they do not have a constitutional right to extract money

out of the American taxpayer by force of law. That's what they've been doing. We've got to undo that, and that's why we've got to pass this rescissions package. For those Republicans who are wringing their hands over this and saying, oh, it's too hard, we might cut something legitimate that helps some good people some work. The same can always be said of almost every component, every dime of federal spending.

You can always identify legitimate beneficiaries of something that gets done there. But that doesn't mean we need to keep it. And where it's become so easy to spend and so hard to cut, we need to take advantage of, we need to avail ourselves of the benefits of these procedural cuts. One of these moments where if ALX were in the room, we would say, imagine eating this good. Imagine cutting this good. Imagine cutting this good. Or you got a simple majority. You got to take advantage of it.

You can't just leave it on the table. How could they fund Elmo when we found out what an extremist he was? Well, Elmo, I mean, I'm permanently scarred by this, Benny, because my children have been raised listening to Elmo's songs, watching him on Sesame Street. And it turns out the whole time he's been living a lie. This guy is a xenophobe, he's an anti-semite, he has a foul mouth.

I wish he had told us this from the beginning. Do you think it's because of Doge? Do you think he's crashing out because of the PBS cuts? Well, look, I wasn't going to say anything, but I think Elmo's sort of playing around with gummies and one thing led to another. And before you know it, he's saying crap like that. He's going to the Cookie Monster, he's got a dealer at the Cookie Monster.

It happens, it happens. Let's get him into a 12-step program. What's next, final question, what's next? What's next, what's the next battle? What's the next big battle that we need muscle on? So the battle we need muscle on this week is the rescissions package. Okay. I didn't know about a timeline. The rescission package this week, it's got to happen this week. That's why

my face Mike Lee account on X, I've been encouraging people. If you don't know where your senators stand on the rescission package, find out. If your senators are on the fence, tell them to vote for it. We need to make it easy to cut, hard to spend. Just imagine eating this good. Thank you, Senator. Thank you. That's great. Oh, man, that sucker's going to fly.

That's viral. That's amazing. Thank you, Senator. God bless. Why would I replace? Why would I have to replace? I mean, he's the best looking guy on the Senate, and he's not in a wheelchair. It's amazing.

It's a miracle. Troy Nelts. Ladies and gentlemen, we got Troy Nelts from the great state of Texas. How are you, brother? A man who is a legend. Good to see you, man. He's got those Congressman cufflinks going on. Congressman cufflinks. He's got a cigar

and he's going to, I think, prove perhaps that members of congress do have the privileges that I actually endorse. That is, they are allowed to smoke inside of the building. Only in your office. Only in the office. You don't smoke in common areas. Now, Tom holes a bit. He likes cigar. So when he had a propse and all that, you could go into his room and smoke. But now you're not walking around the halls in the statutory hall or in the rotunda smoking a cigar. You don't do that. But you can smoke in your office.

And that's where I do most of my smoking. Other members smoke in there. But most people do not like a good cigar. You show right here. That's right here. Right here. family out of Pennsylvania. This is a nice smoke. It's a mild cigar. You can do this will give you a headache. It won't make you poop your pants. Everything is good. This is a nice smooth cigar. This here take about an hour and 15 minutes or so. The morning time is the best one with a cup of coffee.

What about balconies? Balconies, yeah, but on speakers, go out on the speakers. You can smoke on a balcony. Oh yeah, go out on the speakers. So you stand on a led. You stand on a balcony. Yeah, absolutely, yeah.

All right, okay. You are a monster fan of President Trump and you've done something really remarkable for the president. You've passed a law, which I didn't think Republicans could do. I thought Republicans, it was impossible for Republicans to write a pass laws.

But you guys did it. And I just want to say like, congratulations. Yeah, beautiful. That was a hell of a job. Yeah. That you guys did actually do. I thought we did very well. Yeah.

And I know you're a bit of a knuckle buster on that. Well, we. I saw your clips on the steps and you were off to smoke. There's a lot of issues going on up here, this and that, but it was one big, beautiful bill. Now I have, I managed my expectations up, but you're not gonna get a hundred percent of everything. And if you think you are, you're here in Lululand,

you gotta, I mean, manage your expectations. I like a majority of the bill. Obviously the tax cuts deal with Medicaid, obviously SNAP, get these states to pay more. So I think it was overall a good bill. Now, there's some things I was very frustrated. The fact that they put this little penalty against gamblers. I like to go to any casino. I like Vegas.

I think it's fun. But if you break even on the casino, this and that, now they took this, you can only deduct 90% of your losses. Why in the hell would you do that? It's been 100%. hell would you do that? It's been 100%, why would you do that? So they snuck that in there. Believe it or not, Dana Titus,

a member out of Nevada, represents Vegas. I said, sign me up as a co-sponsor right away. I said, we gotta strip that, that was stupid. That just didn't make any sense. And then there was another portion of the bill that I wanted to- I didn't even know about that, that's insane. Yeah, they snuck that in.

And then there was another one. I wanted to tax the net investment earnings, the net earnings on the investments of the endowments to 21%. Now in 2017, the tax it was 1.4. So they've had it at 1.4. But that's not enough. I said we take it to 21%. Because instructions were find a way to reduce the deficit, raise some generate some revenue. We would have brought in seven to 10 billion with a B a year by by making it 21% to the corporate tax rate. Guess what they do in the Senate? They took it down to eight. We left it so now we're going to get a billion. We left billions of dollars on the table. I said that is just stupidity. What the hell are we doing? Why would you do that?

Arbor 53 billion dollars all these elite university all this money and we're not taxing them. It makes no sense So I wanted to take it to one of them. We got it through the house two ways. It means I mean Jason Smith did a great job We got it through the house at 21 and then they took it to eight and nobody was able to explain it to me I was grumpy, I was grumpy. I'm telling you I was grumpy. I saw, I saw the clip. But there was no way I could go against

the one big beautiful bill because I didn't get my way. I mean, 8% is better than 1.4, but my God, we gotta be better than that. We should do better than that. Yeah, the thing that animated our audience and that I was looking at this thing and some of it's not good and some of it's great,

man, that funding for ICE was unbelievable as a Texan and as a proud Texan, somebody who represents the state and really like, I gotta tell you, I hope that you get a chance to meet Trinell someday. You'll be like, that's a member of Congress from Texas right there. That's a member of Congress from Texas. That's like huge for us.

That ICE is like one of, that ICE has one of the biggest budgets of any military on earth Yeah is actually an unbelievable promise made and the assaults that's taking place. It seems like the democrats They say they're the party of peace. I beg to differ I think they're the ones that are getting people all spun up and they actually almost encourage people to get violent They really do and you want to go out and insult that ice agent throw stones at one Try to stab them with a knife try to shoot them. We need

agents. I mean the the th and the attacks on federal out through the roof. I t ice agents got to protect threaten a nice agent with something we need to shoot reduce recidivism. We nee There's no reason that these bad hombres in this country

could feel like they can just go out and start assaulting our federal law enforcement officers that are trying to do their job. Who would wanna do that anymore with the assaults up 700%? We gotta be better than that. And the Democrats gotta cut back on this banter and all this crap because it's not healthy. It's really not healthy.

It's dangerous. It's really, really dangerous. We gotta be concerned about it, Benny. Nightly Scroll with Hailey Caronia. Hello to all my homies in the chat.

Threw it up Congresswoman, so I gotta ask little Monica MacGyver's from New Jersey, you served with her, I mean, I must at least have seen her, no, or at some level. Like she is indicted for assaulting an ICE agent. Yeah, yeah. Well, assaulting an ICE agent growing up there,

I mean, law enforcement officers expect to get into the little tussles, but to start thinking about knives, sticks, rocks, guns, I tell you what. But what should happen to her? You know, like should we allow members of Congress to assault law and order? Well, I tell you what. But what should happen to her? Should we allow members of Congress to assault law and order? I tell you, the Democrat Party have lost their way.

They bring in a bunch of nuts jobs. We got Jasmine Crockett. I said, put her in the triangle and give her time every day. I'll give her money so she can do a press conference every day because that's a loony tune. She's nuts. And it only helps us. It really, really does.

Thank you, God. All right, God. We take care of you, sir. All right. All right. We'll see you in Texas. We'll see you in Jasmine Crockett's district. Mr. Wright.

Marjorie. This is maybe our in-person interview. Are we doing like round- This is our first in-person? This is our in-person. Yeah, I just- This is our first first in person interview. I think you have to rally.

Turning great. Thank you. I have to teach you. Yes. I got to correct something real quick, please. So it's being reported that House Republicans unanimously voted to block the release of the Epstein files. I want to straighten out the record right now. That is not true.

If I could vote to release the Epstein files, guys, you would have my vote. I would vote yes. Here's what just happened. It was a procedural vote and we have these all the time. It's called a PQ. It's voting on the previous question. If the Democrats had won the previous question, which I know sounds insane,

it's one of these crazy rules in the House that are hard to understand, that means they would control the House floor. And that means they could bring up anything. They could bring up impeachment articles against President Trump. They could bring up a whole package of insane Democrat agenda items

and force votes on the House floor on these things. That's what we voted against. We never allowed Democrats to have control of the House floor because we control the House floor. So it's a misunderstanding. And I just wanted to straighten that out. There's not, I read Ro Khanna's bill. It's a garbage bill because it doesn't have any protections

for revictimization or anybody. And you know, obviously the point of all of this is to not have abuse materials and to have less abuse, not more abuse. Of course. Nobody wants that. We want to protect them. One of the angry, some of the,

I don't often get angry. I'm a pretty lighthearted person. But I get so angry, it's sort of what felt like a slander as though like we're goblins for wanting abuse material on the internet. I'm telling you, nobody wants that. Gosh, no. We want- We'll protect kids.

We want elites to be held accountable. Yeah, we hate pedophiles. Yes, that's right. And we hate the elites- And we don't wanna pay taxes. We hate the elites that hang out with pedophiles. We don't wanna pay taxes to the pedophiles. Yes, that's right. Yeah, so just wanted to clear that up, Vinny.

So, I'm against what Ro Khanna put out there. I see what they're trying to do, but what Ro Khanna put out there is an insane bill that doesn't have any protections, that just says release everything that's ever been gathered on Epstein, and that you have to have some delicate balance on this. I mean, obviously.

Totally agree. I wanna bring you up to speed on something else that just happened on the House. Please. There's a bill called the Genius Act. And the Genius Act is one of President Trump's executive orders. He signed it on January 23rd. And what it does is it creates the framework for federal regulation of stablecoin and cryptocurrency.

And so this is an important agenda item for President Trump. I fully support it. However, we just took down the rule for that bill to stop it from being advanced. Because the House, we weren't allowed to put amendments in on the Genius Act. There's one very, or actually two critical things that have been left out of this bill that hardly anyone knows anything about. One is for people to be able to maintain

their chain of custody. That's extremely important. If anyone that owns crypto, they want to maintain their chain of custody. That has to be in the bill. The second thing, which is even far, potentially very deceptive, is that it does not ban a central bank digital currency. That's that is not currently in the genius act. And so I voted no on the rule and took took it down went completely against house leadership, because we have to make sure there's a ban on central bank digital currency, because that's basically the beginning of the beast system. If you're a Christian, you never want to have a government banking system where they can control digital currency. And President Trump himself in his executive order

had the ban on what's called CBDC Central Bank Digital Currency. That was in his executive order. However, the Senate did not put it in there. So we're in a fight. It's happening right now in the house and we're fighting to make sure there's a ban on that. So how does that, how does that hold up? Right? Like, are you on the winning side there? Do the majority of Republicans agree with that? Just happened 25 minutes ago. I think the people at home, I think the people at home that watch

your show know exactly what I'm talking about. They do not want the framework to be put in place to allow for the back door to be created to create a central bank digital currency. We trust President Trump and his administration, but we don't trust a few future administration. We can see the nihilist hellscape that is modern day China, where if you post something about Xi Jinping and he doesn't like it, you can't buy groceries. Benny, thank you. So I'm in here doing this interview with you, trusting you and your viewers to understand this and understand we fully support President Trump. We are doing our best to get his agenda accomplished, but there is no way in hell

that we are going to allow bad things in these bills. And it's Congress and it's the lobbyists and it's the people that sometimes write the legislation that you can't trust. And that's what's going on here. So we're in a fight to get it right. And I'm happy to be involved in that fight. Is that the next big fight after Big Beautiful bill? Again, I'm just so thrilled that Republicans

are able to pass a bill. Republicans wrote a law and passed a law. That's unbelievable. I love the Big Beautiful bill. I was a no on the Big Beautiful bill when it included the 10-year AI moratorium on states rights to regulate and make laws. I was an absolute no and I let the White House know and I let our leadership know. But when I was so proud to partner with Marsha Blackburn, and she she introduced her amendment to strip it out, she fought with Ted Cruz, I was like that away and they voted 99 to one to take it out. And it was partly because my no vote was sitting in the House. So when we work together

and make sure these bills are done right, then we're passing the president's agenda. But if we go too fast and we just go along with whatever leadership tells us to do, then we aren't getting it right. So I have a couple of questions, if you don't mind, from the chat. The chat is melting down. I can't get to the thousands of questions that if you don't mind, from the chat. The chat is melting down,

and I can't get to the thousands of questions that are poured in in this last second, but we'll do our best. Okay. People really want to know what's going to happen next with Epstein. They wanna know. Like, can the FBI review the terror,

here's one from NOC, can the FBI review the terror bites of information? Can we get Jelaine Maxwell before Congress? Would you support that? I fully support the transparency on this issue, Benny. I 100% support that. I also think Pam Bondi is doing a great job in many ways. I'm thrilled I worked with her this past week

to get her to drop the case against Dr. Kurt Moore, the doctor that was being prosecuted, it was on trial under the Department of Justice for, you know what he did? He protected kids and protected people from COVID vaccine mandates. And he gave them fake vaccine cards and inject them with saline.

And that guy did exactly, I think he's a hero, and Pam Bondi dropped his charges. And but I really, I really think Pam and Cash and Dan can come up with a good solution to this. And I was excited to hear Laura Trump say that there's more information coming out. I think that's the right thing to do. And it's okay to continue to push for it. It's great. And I think everyone needs to understand that you hold your leaders accountable for what you voted for them to do. That includes myself, that includes all Republicans, that includes the president that you elected. That's exactly what the American people are supposed to do. I'll add another issue that I think is a big one.

No more weapons to Ukraine. And I am currently trying to get ahold of the president. I've been texting them and telling them, Mr. President, please, I love them, I support them, but I have children that are 22, 25 and 27, Benny, and those 20 year olds and 30 year olds do not have hope for a future. They can't afford rent, they can't buy a house,

they can't afford insurance, they can't afford their bills, they're maxed out in credit card debt. And they're saying, hey, what about my life? We aren't interested in sending weapons or selling weapons to NATO because the reality is, Benny, the American people are paying for that because we are the top contributor to NATO. And we don't want to get engaged in World War III. We want to fix America's problems. America first. And so I think that's another issue that I think that MAGA and the

people that care about America first need to get passionate about. Yes. Because it's an escalation and that war could affect all of us. You see it as a good thing. You see this like this friction as a good thing. Yeah. This is how you like, this is how you create an actual movement, right? A durable movement is something that listens to its base.

Right. This is how we make sure MAGA stays in control of the Republican party because I'm gonna tell you guys at home, the neocons and the establishment Republicans are up here wearing MAGA stays in control of the Republican Party because I'm gonna tell you guys at home, the neocons and the establishment Republicans are up here wearing MAGA hats and have taken it over in Washington DC while you think everything's okay back at home.

Wow, that's very interesting. It's the truth. So you're saying that it's happening from the inside. Absolutely. Do you think that some of this stuff is set up? I mean, I have a great question here from many Re's 3054. Is this the art of the deal?

Could Trump be potentially cooking up the heat on this Epstein issue? And then maybe there is something like a special counsel in the works. Maybe you have some information to share with us? Do you know anything more about what's potentially in the works here? I have not read any of the classified information

on Jeffrey Epstein. I wish I could read it. I would love to read it. I would love to know the people. Don't you have a right to read it as the first branch of government? I would think so. However, you know, I think President Trump

is great at making deals and we want him to do that. We want him to make the trade deals because that affects our economy and it affects many of our businesses. And we want him to do that. We want them to make the trade deals because that affects our economy and affects many of our businesses. And we want him to make peace. And those are deals that need to be made. But I think I think it's important to stay engaged. You have a right to your free speech and your opinion. And I can tell you right now, we didn't vote for more foreign wars and more weapons and money to go to Ukraine. That's a tough one. I mean, we've seen that Zelensky is close to even wearing a suit these days.

So maybe that's where some of the money's going. Possibly. Yeah, I think what is happening is the european leaders are pressuring our president and and urging him to get involved and America doesn't wanna be involved. No. No. What is the way to reconnect? What would be your way? What would be the last question here? Cause you're so, you're like,

you're like the beating heart of the MAGA movement. And it's why so many of our viewers just love you and love you when we come on the show. What would be your advice for people in DC, which is a bizarre world here, right? You can mess with your brain. It's not real. It's designed to like destroy your brain.

I lived here for 15 years. It's not real life. It's like a snow globe. It has a like filter over it. The matrix, literally the matrix. I think it's a filter of evil. That's my opinion. But yeah, it's this Washington DC

is not the rest of America, definitely not. And I think you can be forgiven for coming here and feeling that pressure. And especially if someone like a cash Patel or maybe a PN Bonnie, that pressure is so incredibly immense that it can crack some people. Like what is your advice?

Cause you've been here and you haven't cracked and that's remarkable. I mean, it's remarkable actually. Thank you. And it's because I am supported by the people. I'm not supported by the lobbyist and the big packs and the industries. I'm honestly supported by the people

and I'm grateful for that. And I don't need this as a career. My advice is we have to stay true to what we promised, what we campaigned on and what people want. And it's okay for us to fight it out up here. As a matter of fact, that's the healthiest thing that we can do. That's why we're fighting today to stop a central bank digital currency. There is no way I will vote for that.

That's why it's important to say, hey, Lindsey Graham should not be the one making the decisions on how we handle Ukraine. And for some reason, Lindsey Graham, who got booed out of his own hometown back on the campaign trail and picking South Carolina, it's a great video, you should pull it up and show your viewers. But for some reason, Lindsey Graham

is the clearest voice in the room about sending weapons to Ukraine. Like, no. But it's okay to do these things. It's okay to fight it out. And I've seen Dan and Cash and Pam Bondi are convicted. And we have to be honest and question, are there foreign countries governments

involved in the say so of what information is released? And I said, governments with an S because I'm not clarifying there's particularly one. Putting Lindsey Graham in charge of the Ukraine wars like putting Jasmine Crockett in charge of the Department of Education. Yeah, that's a scary thought. Yeah.

And I want another thought for another topic. Marjorie Taylor Greene, God bless you. Thank you. Thank you for your fight. The audience just freaking loves you. And yeah, we're excited. It's a great room. I can't believe they gave us this room.

You got another camp I like coming up. We'll do something long here. All right, thank you. Thank you, MTG. Yeah, thank you. God bless you. Senator Eric Schmidt. Senator Eric Schmidt, thank you.

Good to see you. It's great to see you. I mean, you've set up shop here. What's new? This is our first, I think this is our first in-person interview. It is actually. Yeah, usually there's backgrounds and

That's right. In Zooms, but yeah. This is Donald Trump's favorite golf partner. That's true. That's a matter of fact. I like to think that's true. Do you, you good on those courses? You good on the playoff?

You know, I play, I, I, I, I, Let her rip. Arise to the level of the competition. President Trump's a good golfer, so you better play well when you're playing with him. I've been fortunate to play well, but he's a legit good golfer, right down the middle of every drive, a good short game.

So it's fun to play with him. Yeah. Senator Eric Schmidt used to be Attorney General Eric Schmidt from to be attorney general Eric Schmidt from the state of Missouri. And if I may just give a quick introduction. The attorney general of the state of Missouri has never been anything that you've known.

You've never heard of them, that this position you don't understand or know about, they never made any news. I'm from the Midwest, I can say things like this, okay? This man actually took that position and did things with it and decided to go after a very David and Goliath style story, whether it's Act Blue, Dr. Fauci, Media Matters, or the Biden administration on multiple fronts,

including Madonna Limited to the open border. Why no other AGs had balls to do this, including those who were very closely affected by some of these crimes, I don't know. This man did. And it's probably why he's Donald Trump's golf partner. Because he actually threw, he threw haymakers and he broke some jaws, metaphorically,

and he did real work. And he showed what Republicans who have a passion and a power to like actually change the country for the better can do so. I got a book coming out about that too. That's the title of the book. How to be the left in court. But you know, I wrote it because it was such a crazy couple of years. So the first two years as AG, President Trump was in office. My second two years as AG, before I got here, Joe Biden came into office.

You gotta go back. It's the COVID times. Joe Biden is opening up the border. There's a vax mandate coming. School districts and cities are forcing everyone to wear a mask. I mean, it's kind of, you know, we're far enough removed that you can lose sight of how close we came

to losing everything. And so for me, I just, for whatever reason, I just felt like this was a, this was go time. This was a time to save the country. So we sued on the Vax mandate. We won at the Supreme Court. We had the student loan death forgiveness case. We won at the Supreme Court.

We filed the Missouri versus Biden censorship case, which exposed all of that big tech, big government alliance to censor conservatives, even before Elon Musk bought Twitter. So I'm really proud of the work that we did. In looking back now, I think it was we were really kind of holding the line until President Trump could get back. Right? Yeah.

So now we've got a chance really to save the country. So I love that job. It was a great opportunity. And you're in Thunderdome when you wanna get into those fights. But it was good for me too, because I saw the full landscape of what the left has set up.

The institutions, the NGOs, all this stuff that is aligned against us in our way of life. And yeah, so I was proud of that time and try to take that same fighting spirit here. And just one final question on the state AG level. Many Republicans sitting here frowning about Joe Biden and the pardons and he pardoned Fauci and he pardoned his family. But a state AG that pardon means nothing.

Am I correct in understanding that? Oh yeah, those are yeah, those are for federal crimes. By the way, I think the most important revelation that's come out here in the last couple of days really, so I led the co-chair, the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the auto pen, we kind of kicked it off. And we have actually requested to the archivist

who happens to be Marco Rubio now by the way, to get a paper trail, why isn't that kind of funny? I told Marco that is coming his way as the archivist, but to get the records of when the auto pen was actually authorized. But now you've got revelations that he maybe didn't actually agree to even use the auto pen

for individual pardons and commutations. That has serious consequences, not just at the state level, but it throws into question whether or not those are valid at all now. individual pardons and commutations. That has serious consequences, not just at the state level, but it throws into question whether or not those are valid at all now. So I think this is a scandal bigger than Watergate and it's just beginning to unfold.

Can I please like nail that down? Wait, so you're telling me that Joe Biden didn't agree. Yeah, the reporting from the New York Times of all places in the last 48 hours is that he may have given sign off to classifications potentially of crimes, but not actually individual people that the auto pen then signed the pardon for. That's actually a real problem.

So like you have to be of sound mind anyway. It's sort of like if you're ever in a will contest of, you know, and they have to ask if the person who changed their will at the last minute was of sound mind and knew what they were doing. That's an important question. So that's on the table with Joe Biden. And then even if he assented to a classification of crimes he may want to consider, the idea that he didn't actually sign off on Hunter Biden or anybody else that he pardoned, which on top of the craziness of these were preemptive pardons for crimes not even identified.

So the whole thing is crazy and goofy. And I don't think we've seen the last of that. Yes, it's a weird thing to pardon somebody when they haven't been charged with anything. And by the way, think of this precedent that sets. Any president on the way out the door now can just say, anybody that I've ever talked to is just immune from any prosecution for-

What's the limiting principle there, Senator? There isn't one, that's the problem. Okay, so Trump can just pardon the MAGA movement. Yeah. Like, oh, okay, got it. Anybody, yeah, he could just say, or you would name people, but there, you know, anybody in his administration, I mean, this has just never been done before, right?

It's never been done. I mean, it's insane mean, this has never been done before, right? It's never been done. I mean, it's insane. Okay, so never been done before. I've never seen so many members of Congress, including senators, attack and assault ICE agents. I've never seen anything like it. They're not like doing it, you know, you will reap the world when Kavanaugh,

like that's an attack, it's not, is it an attack on Kavanaugh? No, they're physically attacking. Alex Padilla physically bull rushed federal agents, which all on camera from five different angles. LaMonica McIver of New Jersey physically assaulted ICE agents and impeded an arrest. She's been indicted for that three indictments return.

You just increased charges, I believe today. You wrote legislation to double the maximum federal penalty for assaulting or beating an ICE agent. Tell me about this. I think this is a big deal. So if you want to get inside the mind of the Democrats, they believe they could get away with opening up the border and then creating a problem so big

that they would just give mass amnesty. And the key was they had to stay in power. That's why they were willing to go along with the ruse that Joe Biden was somehow competent and they had the coup with Kamala Harris. And why, by the way, all this stuff was hidden because they wanted to hold onto power so badly because their grand plan was to have these 20 million people

who came in four years be citizens. And by the way, you don't even have to be a citizen to be counted in the census. That was their other play. But anyway, so what you will never hear, Benny, any Democrat, even if they were to condemn an attack or an assault on an ICE agent, what you'll never hear any one of them say is, you know what we need to do? Take a step back and let the ICE agents do their jobs. And why won't they say that? It's because they actually believe in open borders, and they don't think that anybody who's here legally should ever be deported. So if you're going to go down that road and you're

going to justify it and their base is demanding that they fight harder and they're showing up these detention facilities and willing to assault ICE officers, there ought to be a penalty for it. So we're going to double the penalty. And if you want to do this, you ought to be prepared to go to jail, to go to prison for 80 years and put some, I just don't think we can tolerate this because if the ICE agents who also have families and are patriotic people who believe in this country, if they can't be protected in doing that, we're not really a sovereign nation at all.

ICE attacks on ICE agents up 700%. I'm reading your post right here at Senator Eric Schmidt. That Matt, this is wild, 80 years. So what are the penalties here? Yeah, so the maximum penalty you could get, which may not be issued by a judge, but it increases that maximum to 80 years. And as you mentioned, there's a 700% increase in assaults now.

And I don't think that's gonna slow down. The rhetoric hasn't cooled at all. Why would any Democrat not attack an ICE agent when they see their elected representatives behaving in this manner? That's wild because I've like never seen I've never seen anything like it. Like it's the it's the members of Congress attacking the cops. It's crazy. And and you're even hearing like it's been reported that you know, I think they want

something bad to happen. Yeah. And and the ICE agents are showing a lot of restraint and they got a tough job. I mean, you're going into some tough neighborhoods and getting rid of some people who have been raping and murdering people, right? These are curtail members.

And so they deserve our respect and this bill is just one small way to show it. So, Sparks viewer, Sparks5251 says, George Santos is going to prison and he was kicked out of Congress, So, Sparks, viewer Sparks5251 says, George Santos is going to prison and he was kicked out of Congress, but you have Democrat members of Congress that are doxing federal agents, inciting violence and assaulting ICE agents and nothing ever happens

and it does frustrate people. Well, one of the reasons why I think having a strong US attorney in the DC circuit is important in having US attorneys U.S. attorney in the D.C. Circuit is important in having U.S. attorneys across the country. President Trump is just beginning this. So you're starting to see the next wave of the agenda. You have the nominations, then you have the reconciliation. We're on rescission actually in the Senate today

and tomorrow, we can talk about that. But then you also have judges and U.S. attorneys that are gonna be appointed by President Trump. When I was attorney general in Missouri, we partnered with Republican, our President Trump appointed US attorneys to crack down on violent crime. Those partnerships of course went away

when Joe Biden came into office. So part of enforcing federal law and federal statutes, criminal statutes means you have to have US attorneys who are serious. We didn't see that for four years under Joe Biden. So I think we're entering a new phase. So to my friend who sent in the question, hopefully better days are ahead on that front.

Yeah, because we all saw Alex Padilla weeping, weeping on the Senate floor. Okay. Well, what happens next? I mean, is like, you know, if we're gonna spiral, if the whole country is gonna, you know, spiral in this manner, there's gonna be an equal and opposite reaction.

I mean, eventually you're gonna have to put a Democrat member of Congress in prison. It's really weird though. It's really weird. I can't actually believe that this is their hill to die on. Yeah, right. You know what I mean? Like they just came off of an election cycle

where they got smoked. And the number one or number two issue was illegal immigration, depending on the day, inflation or illegal immigration. And they've decided now that they're going to cast their lot and have margaritas down in El Salvador with, you know, MS-13 gang members and show up and have a real problem with these ICE agents who are just trying to do their jobs. The American people don't support that. And you have to meet this mass migration we've seen with mass deportations. And one of the really important things in that reconciliation package the past two weeks ago was

it front loads all that money, 45 billion for facilities, 45 billion for agents, another 40 billion for the wall. All of that is front loaded. And the reason, Benny, we did that was when you get into a normal appropriations process with Democrats, they hold that hostage and they hold defense spending hostage for their crazy, you know, social programs that they want spending on. And so what we did was it's not just that the money is there, but we've taken that leverage away now, moving forward when you get into these budget battles with them. So that was a really forward looking thing that President Trump really spearheaded with his team.

And it also gives them the money to go do their jobs. Cause you're gonna have more ICE agents now. That's coming. There's nothing they can do about it. Those are coming. The deportations are coming. We're gonna be building new detention beds, alligator alcatraz, you're gonna, you know, stuff.

We are there. We are there. There'll be more of it. There'll be more of them. So you have such a shining record of being a law enforcement agent in an AG, an attorney general. What would be your advice to Pam Bondi right now?

Even in this chair, we've heard today some frustrations. Jane Homer wasn't here and he's like, man, I just can't get anything done with the DOJ. And obviously there's lots of frictions with Epstein and the releases and maybe on a 35,000 foot level. What's your advice? Well, I think I'm not, you know, I'm, you know, necking to Pam, attorney general, Bonnie advice.

She, I've got a lot of respect for her and cash Patel and Dan Bongino, right? I mean, those, that's the, of course, they're kind of the team you want in there. I think for me as a former prosecutor, it's a bit challenging because I don't know what they're, you know, I don't know what they're looking at. I think everybody's been on your show talking about, yeah, we want to see as much as we can. We want to get this out there.

I just don't know what they're looking at. So I think President Trump has sort of spoken to this and we'll see what happens next if there's any more information that comes out. But people are naturally curious. I am, of course, they would be. I just don't know what's in, you know, what they're looking at. And those charging decisions then are typically pretty sensitive. So maybe they had a, didn't have as much as they thought. I don't know. I mean, that's just the God's honest truth for me. We have one more question here from Dean Rockaway, 25, talking about alleged donor fraud, using names and multiple times. This is something that people have seen. This is the Act Blue stuff. Yeah, yeah. Well, actually this is one area, Benny,

I think that the state AGs are stepping up on. This is insane. Yeah. If you follow, which is kind of in the minutiae, but like the way fundraising works on these national races, Democrats like to afford a one margin raise individual dollars more than Republicans.

It doesn't matter. It can be Mike Lee versus some no name. And the no name will out raise Mike Lee four to one on individuals through act blue. And so you got to ask the question, are they just better at it than this? Or is there something that is there something else happening here? And I think it's good that the Republican AGs are looking at this because this is a kind of a state by state kind of thing.

And also one of the great things, which is part of this rescission's package we're trying to pass here, cutting out USAID is effectively a money laundering, has been a money laundering operation with these NGOs. So think about that, the guy that swings the hammer, the guy that's working on the railroads, the truck driver sending his tax dollars here, I mean, those are the people I grew up with. They send their tax dollars to Washington, and then you send it to USAID so they can

work with an NGO to work on Guatemalan sex changes or Sesame Street in Iraq, all this nonsense. But it could also be that those foreign dollars have made their way into this ActBlue network. And that's a very legitimate question to be investigated. And I think that's what this is all about. And we'll see, but it is very, very suspicious. But also one of the reasons why you got to cut off

the spigot with this crazy, you know, permanent Washington establishment view of foreign policy spending, cause it's just, they fund these NGOs that push mass migration and censorship too, it's nuts. So you have 72 hours, right, to get this rescission package. Yeah, so it has to be done by Friday,

which means here in the Senate, tonight we'll probably move to proceed to the bill, which means it'll be on there, on the bill for consideration. There's debate for 10 hours, then there's a Voterama. So meaning probably tomorrow is what the Senate will be doing. I'm actually handling that package. So working with the White House to save about $9 billion.

And over a 10-year window, that's $90 billion on this crazy stuff. And also front and center in that is NPR. Finally getting the federal government out of taxpayer dollars going to NPR, PBS, this Corporation for Public Broadcasting. It's so woke. You've got the head of NPR who's called President Trump a fascist. The guy who left was on their senior advising team.

There's no Republicans. The coverage is so biased. I don't know why we would be keep funding this. And so it's our opportunity to kind of put our team. It's gonna work. I hope so. I mean, you only need a simple majority, right? We need 50 votes plus JD Vance is really what we need,

but we can only lose three people. So that's kind of what's going on around here today is making sure that we got the votes to do it. And like, from my perspective, this is like a no brainer, like, but we're working with everybody to try to address what their concerns are, because ultimately it's about getting it passed.

So. Yeah, I mean, what an insane time that we live in where we can't even do that. It's very insulting to us on a personal level, because I see how hard these guys work and I see how hard this team works. I mean, we just set this up in like two hours, like we bust our asses.

And the fact that NPR gets billions of dollars and to compete again, to destroy us, right? To slander us, to write hit pieces on us, it's such an insult. It is, and I think of them. We're like, we're trying to scrappy build this from scratch. Like, just- Yeah, I love it. And look at you, you're here.

It's a, hey dude, that it's good by the grace of God. But you're, you're hustling, right? And that's what this is all about. And, and I do think that the good news is that our media now ecosystem is so much more diffused. It helps conservatives because those were the gatekeepers for so long that kept a lot of the real information away from people and they can't do it anymore.

And they hate the fact that we've recognized it and we don't want to fund it anymore. Yes. So I'm happy to hear that that's going to get passed. Not coming. Yes, not coming. I'm gonna. Thank you, Senator.

All right, good to see you. Godspeed. It's amazing. Great Senator Eric Schmidt, making the wonderful Show Me State very, very proud. And what's going to happen with Cardinals this year? Interesting. They're a little better off than I thought. I thought they might be a 500 team. They're better than that. very, very proud. And what's gonna happen with Cardinals this year? I'm just thinking.

You know, they're a little better off than I thought. I thought they might be a 500 team. They're better than that. It was kind of what's called a runway season, but they're bringing a new management team. So, but they're in the wild card hunt and we got to beat the Cubs. That's the most important.

Everybody knows the best stadium. Bush Day is the best stadium in all major leagues. Thank you for talking about it. All right. Yep, we'll see you. Thank you for coming. All right. Yeah, we'll see you. Thank you, Senator. Oh boy. Man.

I wanna apologize. Just, and like, there was just a lot going on and we just gotta work on our system for questions. There's a lot of questions coming in and I'm sitting here trying to be polite and keep eye contact with everyone. And so maybe I need like an iPad or something, or I need to have the producers just like insert

the questions because I can't, they can't be sitting here talking and then me, me like typing away the whole time, right? So we're gonna work on this, but we deliver, at the very least, we asked probably two dozen questions from the chat and we're thankful for the opportunity to like just get a chance to test out the system.

And then we're catching a flight back and we're gonna be live tomorrow, rock and roll from Ephesians 4 25 Therefore put away all falsehood speak the truth each one to his neighbor for we are members one another Right here Therefore putting away falsehood speak the truth each one to his neighbor for we are members one another Yeah, let's um, make sure that we're not lying to each other. More importantly, let's make sure that

we're using this opportunity to put an end to some of the darkness that we've been complaining about for a very long time. You know, complaining on the sidelines is very easy. Boy, man, it was like the Biden administration, you were given an opportunity to really like rage and yell at all times about things that we didn't like. And then God gives you the keys and it's up to you.

And you got to start building and you got, now it's up to you. And it's something that's, I guess it's just a, I guess it's a little bit, I guess it's just a, I guess it's a little bit, I guess it's just a little bit of me criticizing myself here. I've over the past 48 hours, I got so upset about all this. I said, I'm gonna start calling my sources and I'm gonna start breaking news on this.

I'm gonna start like, it's my responsibility. I need to like deliver, we need to deliver access, transparency and real news for our audience, and not just sit on the sidelines and complain. We're gonna be players in all of this. And everything from the Turning Point event this weekend to some of the reporting we did yesterday that made international headlines and news,

and I think some of the interviews we did today that will make a lot of news. That's us saying, no, actually, we're not going to defy God when he gives us the chance to really control our fates. And that's a good thing. It's an honorable thing. What's the number one thing that happens in the Old Testament or the New?

The people who defy God, the people that don't act, right? They get swallowed by the whale. You know what I mean? Like you gotta act. This is a life of action and kinetic energy and it's energy that brought us here and it's energy that keeps us going. It's our honor to be here asking your questions.
