Today is Thursday, October 28th, 2021. And here are three things you need to know to be smart today. Joe Biden's Attorney General Merrick Garland got grilled on Capitol Hill for weaponizing the DOJ against parents. They called parents domestic terrorists. And the Lions of the Senate sharpened their claws and went straight for Merrick Garland. Boy, it was a bloodbath. A bloodbath is what the Democrats are facing in the 2022 midterm elections. Voters have Biden remorse and polls are showing it. Republicans lead in 85 battleground congressional

districts and Nancy Pelosi is retiring for sure. And how did Florida end up with one of the best COVID cases and death rates in the United States? I thought Ron Deathsantis was going to kill everyone down here. We have all the data for you here. My name is Benny Johnson and this is The Benny Show.

Halloween is right around the corner, and Halloween came early for Capitol Hill,

for the Biden administration, for Merrick Garland specifically. The Justice Department under Biden is the scariest spook house you have ever seen. They are sending spooks to the fake MAGA rallies. They are full of spooks themselves, but there's nothing really worse than what happened with Merrick Garland yesterday. It was a house of horrors. It was a bloodbath. It was worse than Dr. Fauci's beagle tests. It was like Merrick Garland had his head locked into a cage and had his vocal cords ripped out and sandflies attack his eyeballs. This is not pretty, what we're about to show you, but it is important that you hear it

and know that Republicans are indeed fighting for you. In particular, those Republicans are in order. Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, and Tom Cotton, all three of those senators from Texas and Missouri and Arkansas, respectively, just went to bat, went to work against the Joe Biden corrupt Justice Department. These people are maligning the word Justice Department, making it utterly meaningless because what they are doing is the opposite of justice. Justice would be going after actual domestic terrorists in our country. Everybody who threw a brick through a small shop window, everybody who burned down a police station, anyone who attacked a cop, anybody who burned down a church or burned down a shed on the White House grounds. We were there. We watched with our own two eyeballs as Antifa, as BLM,

as domestic terrorists masqueraded through the city of Washington, D.C. We went to CHOP and CHAZ. We saw how these people treated each other, how they treated the cops, how they treated the business owners around these places that were taken over by the mob, by domestic terrorists. We went to Minneapolis. We went to New York at the height of these criminal sprees, at the height of this organized domestic terror. And if we had an honest justice department focused on justice, they would be viewing these elements in our society as domestic terrorists. But no, the domestic terrorists that our justice department is interested in going after are you and me. The domestic terrorists that our Justice Department is interested in going

after are you and me. The Justice Department announced that they would be going after parents of school children who show up at school board meetings. They would be infiltrating these meetings with the FBI. They would be intimidating these parents by calling them domestic terrorists. They would be claiming that these parents are there to seek violence, and they're trying to use this as an intimidation tactic to shut down a very lucrative threat to Merrick Garland's family business. Oh, what do you mean, Benny? Well, Merrick Garland's family business is a critical race theory, something that most people don't know because it's not widely reported, utterly ignored by the corporate media is that Merrick Garland's family is critical race dealers. They actually sell critical race materials to

the school systems in America. The strategy group that was founded by Merrick Garland's son-in-law, married to Merrick Garland's daughter, funds and just raised an enormous amount of money, $76 million, in order to go to hundreds of thousands of school districts across America and sell them critical race theory materials, do surveys of the students, and be able to propagate the lies of racism found inside of critical racist theory. Once again, Merrick Garland's son-in-law's company is called Panorama Education, and they just raised $76 million in order to sell critical race theory to school systems around the country. These school systems, of course,

use your tax dollars in order to pay for these materials. It is a fraudulent system. It's a sham. It's an embarrassment to everybody who's a part of it. And Ted Cruz called this man out to his face. It was brutal for this exact thing. Listen to this. Yes or no. Did you seek an ethics opinion? This memorandum has nothing. Did you seek an ethics opinion? This memorandum has nothing to do with. General, are you refusing to answer if you sought an ethics opinion? I'm telling you that there's no possible so you're saying no just answer it directly you know how to answer a question directly did you seek an ethics opinion i'm telling you that if i thought there was any reason to believe there was a conflict of interest i would do that but i cannot why do you refuse to answer the question why won't you just say no i'm sorry you're not going to answer the question? Why won't you just say no? I'm sorry. You're not going to answer the question?

I'm sorry. Ask the question again. Did you seek an ethics opinion? I'm saying again, I would seek an ethics opinion. So no is the answer, correct? Senator, your time is up. Let the record reflect the Attorney General refuses to answer whether he sought an ethics opinion. And apparently ethics are not a terribly high

priority in the Biden Justice Department. Ted Cruz has obviously argued before the Supreme Court. He's a Harvard educated lawyer. He knows exactly this level of corruption. When he sees it, it was a shock to most people on this committee. It was a shock to Josh Hawley, who also had just a absolute nuclear missile to fire at Merrick Garland. Go ahead and check this out. Well, I certainly would hope not, but they were referring to parents who go to school board meetings. Mr. Smith is a parent who went to a school board meeting. I'll leave it at this, General Garland. You have weaponized the FBI and the Department of Justice. Your U.S. attorneys are now collecting and cataloging all the ways that they might prosecute parents like Mr. Smith because they want to be involved in their children's education and they want to have a say in their elected officials.

It's wrong. It is unprecedented to my knowledge in the history of this country. And I call on you to resign. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I call on you to resign. That is a major sentiment among the lions of the Senate, we would call them. Wrapping it up with Tom Cotton saying the exact same thing. Again, just a totally brutal day for Merrick Garland on the Hill. Went to a school board and tried to defend his daughter's rights, was condemned internationally. Do you apologize to Scott Smith and his 15-year-old daughter, Judge? Senator, anyone whose child was raped is the most horrific crime I can imagine and is certainly entitled and protected by the First Amendment to protest to their school board about this.

But he was cited by the School Board Association as a domestic terrorist, which we now know. That letter and those reports were the basis for your – No, no, Senator. That's fine. As a domestic terrorist, which we now know that letter and those reports were the basis for your. Oh, this is this is wrong. Judge, this is shameful. This here, this testimony, your directive, your performance is shameful. That's not. Thank God you are not on the Supreme Court. You should resign in disgrace, Judge. Well, that was just humiliation porn right there. That's just a Merrick Garland. Not I mean, he was just in stunned silence. Quite frankly, I don't think these people understand exactly how pissed off Americans are. They could just look to Loudoun County, Loudoun County, a consistently blue county in Virginia, a Democrat stronghold in Virginia. Well, parents of all backgrounds, presumably of all voting backgrounds, of all

racial backgrounds, of all socioeconomic backgrounds, and their children walked out of a Loudoun County school yesterday in response to the shocking and just grotesque allegations that this school had covered up the rape of one of their students and then lied about it and then took the rapist and sent him to another school where he raped again, where he committed some type of sexual perversity and assault again against another student. So they just took the serial sex pest and started moving that kid around. That kid was then found, this kid was charged, according to records today, for these criminal acts. And there will most likely be an enormous

lawsuit against the school system here. Not a great system that Merrick Garland is sitting here protecting and propping up. Here's what it sounded like. Loudoun County protects rapists. Yeah, not exactly what you want being chanted inside of a dark blue county inside of a state you must win, a swing state, Virginia. There's a governor's race going on there. We have some polling on that and some polling across the nation to show you exactly how terrified the Democrats are right now. They are looking down the barrel of a red wave, a red tsunami, the likes of which will change culture for a generation. It's going to be a generational majority if some of these polls are right. But first, being right and being red is

something that good ranchers is indeed. They will ship you red meat directly to your door and it will be right on time. It will arrive and you will be happy in the Johnson household. The best day of the month is when that big, beautiful white box lands on our doorstep. Delicious T-bone steak that sizzles on the grill. It is my personal favorite. You also have tenderloin. You have New York strip. You have burgers that are fatty and delicious and juicy just the way that I like them. They're such a great box of goodies in there just in time for grilling season in the fall. The weather is choice outside. It's beautiful and it's time for Good Ranchers.

Well, some people are eating crow right now, eating their own decisions, uh, because Biden remorse is now becoming a real thing. Biden remorse. I regret voting for Biden was a trending hashtag just a month ago, and now polling is starting to indicate that there is true and prescient Biden remorse across the country as Republicans lead in 85 different battleground battleground congressional districts. Eighty 85. Nancy Pelosi's entire majority is four seats. According to the poll, most of the groups that powered Biden to the presidency have now

soured on him. He is underwater with Hispanics by 5%, college-educated white voters by 3%, majority of voters by 53%. Goodness gracious. Joe Biden doesn't believe he's actually running the country, says 53% of people. Among independents, 62% do not believe that Joe Biden is competent. 62% of independents think that Joe Biden is living inside of a nursing home, mental institution known as the big white house with rubber walls on it. So Joe Biden can eat his applesauce in peace. Republicans now lead across 85 different battleground congressional districts as a result of Democrats incompetence, according to a report, which found that the GOP is leading independence 80%. Man. See, that's what I find interesting is that independents are now swinging

for the GOP and to the GOP's credit, it's not, it's not that independents are now swinging for the GOP. And to the GOP's credit, it's not going to be great. I'm a firebrand. If you follow me on social media, I'm a firebrand, right? I'm going to tweet about how Jeffrey Epstein personally funded Terry McAuliffe. We have that dead to rights, but that's a little hot for some Republicans. But it's true. Terry McAuliffe was in charge of the Clinton Foundation fundraising for a decade. And during that decade, Jeffrey Epstein, serial pederast, rapist, sex pest, and sex trafficker, this guy was cutting checks and Terry McAuliffe was cashing him. I went through yesterday and found the documents backing it up in the Daily Beast and the New York Times. And Jeffrey Epstein flew on his plane with

Bill Clinton during that time period over a dozen times, a dozen different private trips, a dozen different private little envoys there. What was going on on those planes? Oh, God, Lord knows. Just pray for the cleaning crews. But the person who was accepting the money at the other end of the funnel there was Terry McAuliffe. He was the one in charge of the Clinton Foundation. He was the one in charge of making sure that Jeffrey Epstein's checks cleared. So why is no one asking him about that? Seems like a very relevant question. Why did you accept so gladly money from a serial pedophile? Everybody knew this guy was a creep. But hey, guys, I go hot. I go hard in the paint. Not all Republicans do that, and that's okay. It's okay by me, just as long as you gain back

your majority and as long as you gain back the gavel and then you do something with it once you get it. The problem with Democrats and the reason why Democrats don't have just enormous, overwhelming majorities in both chambers right now, and they could have, quite frankly, is because they couldn't stop their crazy, right? They couldn't control their crazy. They just went crazy. Trump broke them, and they went nuts. And the American people don't like nuts. The American people kind of like slow and steady wins the race. Everyone wants their 401k to be worth something. Everyone wants the stock market and their home valuations to just kind of creep up and for their little nest egg to be put away and for them to be good. When voters were

asked to list out the top issues that they would like Biden and Congress to hone in on, they listed jobs in the economy, border security, inflation. Notably, all the polls found that the voters are extremely disappointed in Biden's leadership in these areas. Among independents, Republicans have 37 plus percentage point advantage on the border, 24% advantage on making this country prosperous, 18% advantage on jobs in the economy, 9% on the cost of living. Overall, the report concluded that voters understand the negative consequences of democratic policies. And let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen, this bill that they're going to pass is not going to make things any better. Do you want to make gas prices go through the roof? Well, pass a hyperinflation bill like this one, where you're not spending any money on helping any actual Americans. You're just putting money towards slush funds in order

to get yourself elected in perpetuity, bailing out the corporate media, funding a bunch of Barack Obama's nonprofits and acorn style community organizing groups. This entire bill is just such utter trash. And the amount of garbage in this bill is just truly breathtaking. Sixty six percent of voters say Democrats proposed spending bill will increase their own cost of living while just 5% say the bill would bring down cost of living. Man, talk about a talking point fail right there. That's everything. Every time they trot out Joe Biden, he's saying that this bill is going to help everyone and be a tax cut. It's just such a lie. It's just such a lie. But none of these people have ever hired anyone. None of these people have ever ran businesses for

themselves. So what do you expect? A majority of voters say Democrats do not enforce our nation's laws, especially regarding violent crime, the border and illegal drugs. Devastating. And finally, 58 percent of voters believe that the defund the police movement, widely supported by Democrats, caused crime to go up. In contrast, voters trust Republicans to keep American community safe by 13 percent. So let me just say this very clearly to Kevin McCarthy. If you blow this, no one will ever forgive you. There are very few things that you can be certain of in life, but you can always be sure the sun will rise each morning. You can bet your bottom dollar that you'll always need air to breathe and water to drink.

You have been handed this house gavel on a golden septor, right? That's really important. In the meantime, what you get from someone like Joe Biden is comments like this. This is Joe Biden at a Terry McAuliffe event, a must-win state, Virginia, a consistently blue state, Virginia, now turned purple, now swinging back red, according to polls. Terry McAuliffe is tied with Glenn Youngkin, who is a Republican running in Virginia, neck and neck, like neck and neck. They're both just tied, deadlocked at 45. That is a horrifying, horrifying reality. Democrats looking at that because those are already biased polls. Again, we talked about poll biasing a lot on the show. It's already biased. And so Terry McAuliffe brought in Joe

Biden in order to help him out. And here's what Joe Biden said. In fact, we're taking a page from Terry's book on his governor and when he'd be governor next time. We're emerging from this pandemic. We want to expand pre-K for three and four-year-olds, millions of pre-Kers. Oh, man. Terry McAuliffe's expression there is just classic. I've made a terrible mistake. Arrested development. It's a meme. It's a meme. It's Terry McAuliffe saying, what have I done? Why did I ever campaign with this guy? We have coming up the man who may be the greatest governor in America right now. I think he's the America's governor because he's made Florida the America of America, Ron DeSantis,

showing how it's done, destroying the Democrats' number one talking point against him. But first, Ron DeSantis has indeed made Florida a very prosperous state, but the federal government is trying to come after our prosperity. They're trying to come after your savings. They want to tax unrealized capital gains in the stock market. That's just insanity. That is why I'm proud to talk about my friend Tika Tiwari. He is the editor of the independent financial research firm, Palm Beach Research Group. And he is our go-to expert on everything crypto and Bitcoin. In 2003, he honed in on Apple when it was trading under 12 bucks. And in 2016, he picked Bitcoin when it was selling for around $750. Man, if you had invested then, you would be worth a pretty penny.

He's never been more convinced, however, about an investment's potential than he is right now, and he wants to share it with you. Tikit believes that this investment is the investment of the decade. Now, while there are no guarantees in life, he believes this will be one of the single best places to grow your money in the next 10 years. It's this type of opportunity that changes lives. It's like turning back the clock and buying shares of Microsoft in the 80s or Apple in 2000. Check out his presentation now at nextcryptowave.com. Don't miss out on this opportunity. Go to nextcryptowave.com now. All right. Well, my family invested in the state of Florida. We made that investment by moving from a blue district, I suppose.

Washington, D.C. is an estate, blue district. And we moved down here to Florida. We said no more to the madness. Our D.C. police were defunded. Our neighborhood was extremely dangerous. The house next door to mine burnt to the ground. There were shootings on my doorstep. It was a terrible place to have a one-year-old, a terrible place to bring home your little infant baby. You could imagine as parents, we were fearful for our safety, but especially our child's safety. We said to hell with this, and we moved down to Florida. Also, hey, guys, there's no income tax in Florida. It's pretty great. But also, there's just happy people, and they share our values, and that's what really matters in life, your worldview

and your values. And you want those values to be preserved, and you want to live inside of a culture and a society that values the same things that you do, like, I don't know, the life of your child, being safe on the street, playing in your yard. So we move down to Florida. One of the things that the governor of Florida values is the lives of his residents. We've gotten to know Ron DeSantis since moving down here. And this dude is a true patriot. He served in our military. He served in Congress. He deployed to war zones. He knows what it's like to protect Americans and to keep us safe. That's why Ron DeSantis has acted so nobly throughout all of COVID to make sure that he protected us, one, from a novel coronavirus, but two, protected us from what was about to come

next, which is a medical biosecurity state that they wanted to implement because they wanted people to stay in perpetual hysteria. COVID hysteria led to the absolute erosion of people's civil liberties in this country. And it is so wonderful to have someone like Ron DeSantis who saw the long game and said, wait, whoa, whoa, wait, stop. No, we're not doing it. We're not playing that game. That fiddle ain't going to fiddle here. We're not going to, you know, that dog don't hunt in the state of Florida. And so we're not going to lock down any longer. Ron DeSantis made lockdowns illegal. He removed all of the COVID emergency powers locally. He has fined counties millions of dollars, multi-millions of dollars for firing people for vaccine mandates, which are illegal in the state of Florida. And Ron DeSantis has made sure

that mask mandates are also illegal in Florida schools. It's very hot down here. It'd be terrible to have to wear a mask day and night for a small child. And it is a brutal thing to see when you're watching it happen. These poor little kids playing with their masks, having to mask. I mean, it's very bad for the development, quite frankly. We had Ben Carson on recently, and Ben Carson was talking about how children develop their motor skills and their speaking skills by watching mouths move and people talk. Man, it really is a mental illness if you think that this is the best way for your child to live.

Nonetheless, Ron DeSantis was attacked for all of this, for leaning in on freedom. Ron DeSantis was savagely and viciously attacked. Here is what CNN sounded like just a few months ago when cases in Florida were creeping up. We saw pictures over the weekend of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis at Daytona Bike Week. He's not wearing a mask. He is certainly very close physically to other people who are not wearing masks. Does this make things more difficult as

your officers are facing? I mean, they're facing violence. They're facing resistance to people who they want to behave like the governor's behaving. Politicians can own the libs. They're not owning anybody. But they may end up owning the pandemic because they're prolonging it. Perhaps it's time to start naming these new variants that may be coming out after them instead of the Delta variant. Why not call it the DeSantis variant? We could sell beer koozies that say, don't Florida my Fauci. So that is what CNN, but all of corporate media was sounding like. Everybody jumped on the bandwagon, came after Ron DeSantis, came after the state of Florida. I got to tell you, I was living here in Florida during the height of the hospitalization rate There was no crisis. People weren't dying in the parking lots. It's all fiction. It's all hysteria because they view Ron DeSantis as a

threat. They view Ron DeSantis as a threat when it comes to big tech and when it comes to big corporation and big institutional power. And so they went after Ron DeSantis really bad. And now what? Now what? Well, Ron DeSantis said no lockdowns. Ron DeSantis said that there will be no stay-at-home orders. Ron DeSantis said that the spike was due to a seasonal pattern of the virus, which we're just going to have to live with for the rest of our lives. And he urged residents to get vaccinated. That's what DeSantis did. Now, with Halloween right around the corner, COVID crisis looks really different in Florida. Inexplicably, the cases and deaths have been

going down despite DeSantis implementing no new mitigation measures. Isn't that shocking? Florida now has one of the lowest caseloads, or depending on which data set you're looking at, or the lowest caseload in the country. Florida is the best place to live if you are worried about COVID or worried about COVID rates or COVID hospitalization rates. Ha, ha, ha. Take that lid. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that Florida's recording one of the best cases and death rates in the country. Additionally, the state is doing just as well as California, despite the West Coast taking very strict approaches like shuttering businesses, closing down indoor dining, implementing mass mandates, limiting gatherings and closings of bars and indoor dining. Experts say COVID waves usually

occur in a two-month cycle with infections rising two months before declining. And instead of trying to prevent the cycle from occurring, DeSantis let it ride out. During its COVID peak in Florida, the state was recording 101 cases per 100,000 people. Now it's down to 1.77 cases. Since mid-September, Florida has been seeing a decline and recording nine cases per 100,000 people means the Sunshine State has the best case rate in the country, just behind California, Mississippi, Hawaii, and Alabama, respectively. Florida is also recording 0.2 deaths per 100,000 people a week, making it the second best in the nation. Wow. Both of these metrics are despite DeSantis, again, refusing to lock down schools and businesses and force vaccine

mandates on educators and employers, force masks on children, ruin lives, strip people of their civil liberties, and destroy childhoods. You can win without all those things. COVID is here. It is now just a part of everyday life. We just live with it. The problem with Libs and Democrats is that they get too much power from COVID, and they also have broken their own viewers. They've broken their own voters. So they've broken these people. They did nonstop, 24-hour 24 hour a day COVID hysteria for seven months leading up to the 2020 election because they needed it as a cudgel to beat Donald Trump with. They needed people scared. They needed to change voting laws. And so they needed COVID to be big and scary and dangerous when we didn't know anything about it. Indeed, people lost their lives. We didn't know anything about it, and now we do know quite a lot about it. People who want to get vaccinated can get vaccinated and have been able to for nearly a year. It is damn near November right now. People who want to mitigate risk, people who wish to mask

can go do that. There's not a single soul on earth who would stop you from masking. Actually, no one wants to touch your gross, filthy, wet mask. Wear it if you wish. But in Florida, we're going to allow you to choose. That is ultimately your choice. Your health is part of your body and your bodily autonomy is your choice because you're not a slave. Nobody owns your body. You own your body. It's a temple. God gave it to you. Treat it as you wish. And then your quarrel can be with God, quite frankly, when you're pushing up daisies. You can have that argument about how well you treated your body. That's you. That's on you, man. That's your responsibility. And that is a wonderful way of looking at the world that is exactly how you should look at the world. Ron DeSantis had this to say about his state's resounding success when it comes to COVID and the insanity of Washington, D.C. and the Fauciites and Joe Biden.

Hearing in the media every day that the state of Florida is a COVID hotspot, virtually every person in the state has died of the coronavirus. But suddenly you're not hearing that anymore. Why is that? Well, because the numbers are too stark to deny. STATE HAS DIED OF THE CORONAVIRUS. BUT SUDDENLY YOU'RE NOT HEARING THAT ANYMORE. WHY IS THAT? WELL, BECAUSE THE NUMBERS ARE TOO STARK TO DENY. IN THE LAST SEVEN DAYS, FLORIDA HAS AVERAGED FEWER COVID CASES PER CAPITA THAN VIRTUALLY ANY OTHER STATE IN THE UNITED STATES. IT RANKS 48 OUT OF 50. NOW THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE, RON DESANTIS, HAS ANNOUNCED A SPECIAL LEGISLATIVE SESSION TO BAN COVID-19-RELATED VACCINE MANDATES,

NOT JUST BY THE STATE, BUT BY BUSINESSES THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF FLORIDA. THE GOVERNOR OF FLORIDA, RON DESANTIS, JOINS US NOW. We set up 25 different sites throughout the state telling people that early treatment saves lives. What we were seeing is when we had the Delta surge, most of the people being admitted to the hospital not only didn't get monoclonal antibodies, they didn't even know about monoclonal antibodies. This was not something that people like Fauci were talking about. And so we helped raise the profile and also expand access. And the results are the statewide hospital census for COVID patients has gone down 34 days in a row.

Our hospital admissions on a daily basis have gone down. Ron DeSantis, this guy was a JAG lawyer. He went to Yale. He's a smart man. When you're in a room with him, it's intimidating, quite frankly. You can tell who's in charge, and you can tell that Ron DeSantis is that person. And he knows what he's doing. He has a very, very bright future. He's obviously a young rock star in this party. And we very, very much support Ron DeSantis in this show. I got to tell you, living in Florida, it is a wonderful place to live because of leadership like Ron DeSantis'. This state is red and it's getting redder. Ron DeSantis said to me backstage at an event last week that he expects the state to really take on some of the larger blue counties

and to be able to make major inroads to make sure that Democrats have less institutional power in this state. They are very, very popular down here. His administration is very popular down here. And Redder is just better. I believe that when it comes to my politics. I definitely believe that when it comes to my wine, guys. It's grilling season right now.

That means your boy Benny's gonna be out back over the charcoal briquettes, slapping a big piece of red meat down on the grill. And I'm going to pair that with a delicious red wine. The wine that we drink in the Johnson households is Bonner Private Wines. These wines are from Argentina in the Andes Mountains. They are raised 9,000 feet above sea level.

delicious grape. It has blackberry, leather, smoke, dark cherry in it. It just pairs so beautifully with a steak, guys, and you don't have to pay a king's ransom to get them in your house.
