Today is Tuesday, November 9th, 2021.
And here are three things you need to know to be smart today.
Ron DeSantis has officially announced his re-election run for the governor of Florida.
Ron DeSantis is going to stay in a state that he has
made the America of America. He is America's governor and obviously one of the best in the
country. Florida is doing great and we have many statistics to prove that. We also can prove
that libs want to move down here. Rumor is that Nancy Pelosi is looking for a house in Florida.
Why, oh why, would she want to live in a Republican-dominated state? Well, because Nancy
Pelosi knows a good thing when she sees it, along with one of CNN's most prominent anchors. Are they
all planning on moving to Florida? Please don't. Also, bombshell revelations in the Durham investigation finally leads to the Biden White
House doors. Will we see arrests inside the White House? I cannot wait. My name is Benny Johnson,
and this is The Benny Show. All right, ladies and gentlemen, boom, Ron DeSantis running for
governor of Florida again. Of course, why wouldn't he rerun for governor? But it became official
just last night. He filed his paperwork. The paperwork became public and Ron DeSantis is running in charge of a state that was never supposed to be the firewall for freedom. That's what Florida has become, the America of America. And Ron DeSantis is the governor of the America of America. And so that makes Ron DeSantis America's governor. Ron DeSantis is a wonderful governor. We've gotten to know Ron DeSantis after moving down here, and I am a happy Florida resident. Nothing is more beautiful than leaving the corrupt, rat-infested, cockroach-infested, dangerous, fire-bombing murders on my front doorstep. I mean, it's terrible. The house next door to mine burnt to the ground in Washington,
D.C., and I have a small child and a wife inside. I mean, it's just terrible. It was an awful,
awful stress to live inside of a blue city. I cannot imagine what people are going through
inside of Portland, Seattle, Detroit, Minneapolis, Chicago, New York. Oh wait, I can. I can actually imagine. I lived
through the defunding of the DC police. I lived through all the riots, Antifa, all of it. And
we fled. Truly, we did. We left. We voted with our feet and we moved out. We removed ourselves
from the tyranny of the blue states. And thank God for Ron DeSantis.
There is a place that you can go.
And Ron DeSantis not only has kept the state red,
but kept it and made it redder.
I am a plus one for Republicans in this state.
In Florida, for the first time in history,
has an advantage to Republicans in voter registration.
That is winning the culture war.
That is because people
like Ron DeSantis have made the state great for someone like myself to leave to, to flee to.
That is precisely what my family did. It's what the families of Ben Shapiro have done. It's what
Tucker Carlson has done moving down here. Dan Bongino lives down here. A bunch of other people
live in Florida. We love Florida. This has become a
bastion for freedom, and it's going to be the launch pad for that freedom to spread across
the country. All right. Here's what we know about Ron DeSantis and his reelection bid.
Governor Ron DeSantis officially filed his paperwork last night for 2022. His race is in 2022. So next election cycle, next election year,
a ton of big races coming up next year. And it's amazing to think they're less than now a year away
from election day. It's more of a formality to open a campaign committee, he said. But we won't
do any of the public announcements until after the special session, but you have to prepare for
these things. DeSantis is one of the most popular governors in the country. He has a 55% favorability
rating. The governor has emerged as a leader during the COVID-19 pandemic and champion the
importance of keeping the state free rather than enacting strict mandates. DeSantis sued the Biden
administration multiple times over COVID mandates and believes to be them to be unconstitutional.
And he is now providing a foil to the administration.
Again, they were not counting on Florida being red.
They were not counting on Florida being the firewall for freedom.
They were counting on Florida being blue and folding like every other state.
But now look, look at what can happen, what one election can do.
Could you imagine if Andrew Gillum was in charge of Florida? Andrew Gillum photographed naked,
vomiting after a overdose inside of a hotel room, a sickening and grotesque individual,
a pervert and a monster. I don't wish people like that well because people like that cause damage
to other people's lives. Andrew Gillum needs to not damage other people's lives. He was running
for the governor against Ron DeSantis just a few years ago, and Andrew Gillum should really get
his mind right. Could you imagine having that type of person in charge
of the state of Florida right now through the pandemic? It would have been hell for businesses
here. Hell for all the people and residents in this state. It would have crushed the state.
But instead, instead, Florida got Ron DeSantis by the grace of God gets Ron DeSantis and his team
is happy to announce that he is indeed running again with a thug life meme. Ron DeSantis and his team is happy to announce that he is indeed running
again with a thug life meme. Ron DeSantis had a thug life gif, no music associated with this meme,
otherwise we would play it for you. But we have made the Ron DeSantis thug life meme before on
our channels, the old glasses flying across the screen hitting Ron DeSantis' face, the 50 Cent playing in the background.
Here's what our thug life meme sounded like for Ron DeSantis.
Why don't you do your job? Why don't you get this border secure?
And until you do that, I don't want to hear a blip about COVID from you.
Ron DeSantis has been thug-lifing it all throughout Florida.
He followed up the announcement with a full thread on Twitter, sort of highlighting what he had done
as governor in his first term. I think it's worth noting some of the major accomplishments. Let's go
through them right now. I live them every single day down here. When our freedoms were under attack
by the radical left and the corporate media,
I stood strong to keep Florida open.
Florida is better for it.
In Florida, we kept kids in school, businesses open,
and protected your freedoms from overzealous politicians and government bureaucrats.
We did this while prioritizing the health of the most vulnerable,
leading the charge in life-saving monoclonal antibody treatments.
Today, Florida has the economy growing faster
than the national average and has seen 17 consecutive months of private sector job growth.
I signed the largest expansion of school choice in the nation, banned critical race theory,
and reprioritized civics in our classroom. Teachers and first responders receive $1,000
bonus for answering the call during the COVID
pandemic.
I signed the strongest anti-rioting legislation in America, banned sanctuary cities, and I
will not allow fellow Floridians to lose their job over vaccine mandates.
I proactively took measures to further secure Florida's elections, signing the strongest
election integrity measures anywhere in America.
We've expanded ID requirements and banned Zuckerbucks, ballot harvesting and mass sending
of unsolicited mail-in ballots. We've accomplished so much in three years, but Florida's future
hangs in the balance. I'm ready to continue fighting to preserve Florida's future. Let's
roll. That's what Ron DeSantis said on Twitter in a massive thread that has now gone viral.
Okay, so who will Ron DeSantis be running against?
He'll be running against a really weak bench of just gross libs, people who are very unpopular
here in the state, people who nobody really wants to have as their governor.
Charlie Crist, Agriculture Secretary Nikki Fryde and State Senator Annette Tadeo.
Okay, they've all jumped in the race.
Charlie Crist is a loser.
Nobody likes him.
He has been sort of glomming around in Florida politics for a very long time.
Nikki Fried is the only elected Democrat statewide as agriculture secretary. I
think that will change severely, and she knows it, so that's why she's bailing and trying to run
for governor to raise her national profile, but I think she's going to be crushed. I doubt she'll
make it out of the primary, and I don't know anything about Annette Tadeo,
but I think Charlie Crist will probably be the one to win that and then go up against
DeSantis. You'll see a ton of money flow into the state. You'll see a lot of fake news written about
Ron DeSantis, but there's no faking the accomplishments. There's no faking the actual
people of Florida. And it's hard to cheat down here. It's damn near impossible. And Ron DeSantis is calling a special session in order to ban the vaccine mandates further
for businesses and in order to call more election integrity to the floor of the Florida state
house.
And let's hope that he gets both of those things done.
We'll wait and see.
But as of right now, Florida has one of the lowest COVID case rates and one of the lowest
COVID death rates of any state in the union.
I think the lowest in the entire lower 48.
And so what is there to argue against?
You know, what is there to argue against?
I can tell you this.
Everyone in Florida's property values have gone through the roof.
Everyone's living a good life.
Everyone is happy down here. They have their rights
protected, their businesses protected, and they're maskless. No one's ordering them around. No one's
barking them around and dictating and mandating what they do. It's a wonderful place to live.
The cops are funded and refunded $5,000 bonuses for cops who moved down to Florida. So people are pretty happy here in
the state of Florida. And when people feel like their lives are not being ill affected by the
idiot policies of our ruling class, while they tend to vote for the people who are just leaving
them alone, isn't that amazing how that works? They tend to vote for the people that are just
leaving them alone. Things are so good here in Florida, actually, that some of the biggest
Democrats and most well-known Democrats in the Florida, actually, that some of the biggest Democrats and
most well-known Democrats in the country, including but not limited to Nancy Pelosi and CNN anchors,
are vacationing and or moving down here. That's right. We have the shocking report for you about
that next. But first, Florida has a massive agriculture industry. There are a lot of farms
down in Florida. Obviously, you know
about Florida oranges, but you know that Florida is also one of the largest cattle producers in
America. Lots of ranches down here in Florida and a lot of ranches that are friends of good ranchers.
Good ranchers is the number one way to support American farmers and ranchers who have had their
lives decimated, much like the rest of America over the last few years. Over 100 farmers and ranchers who have had their lives decimated, much like the rest
of America over the last few years. Over 100,000 ranchers and farmers have lost their jobs because
of stupid labeling laws and dumb import laws for poor quality beef and chicken from around the
world. You don't want that stuff. You certainly don't want it in a supply chain crisis. You want
to support American farmers
and American ranchers. That's why we love partnering with good ranchers on this show.
We like to support the Americans here in this country. It's what America first really is all
about. And quite frankly, guys, the product is delicious. It's the best meat you can get
delivered right to your doorstep. You slap that sucker on the grill. It sizzles. My favorite is the T-bone steak or the New York strip. I'm not sure, but it's just
both so delicious. We eat them with regularity inside of the Johnson household. We grill them.
We even put up videos on Instagram, show you guys how much we love good ranchers. And well,
it works because good ranchers had to redo their entire website in order to handle the amount of traffic coming from this show.
That's right.
GoodRanchers.com is back online, though, and better than ever with a special limited-time offer.
Go to GoodRanchers.com backslash Benny right now to get 10 free Bistro Filets and even better, subscribe and get $25 off each box of mouthwatering American meats for life.
That's right. $25 off for life and 10 free bistro fillets. That's a $100 value and free express
shipping for my listeners. Go to good ranchers.com backslash Benny. All right. So who the hell is
moving to Florida? None other than Nancy Pelosi.
We saw this weekend that Nancy Pelosi is intending on moving to Florida.
That's according to a couple reports, a few little birdies that we know on the other side of the state,
and also a very public tweet from Marjorie Taylor Greene,
who was on a flight with Nancy Pelosi headed down to Florida, down to the east
side of the state. I am on the west side of the state, the east side, the other side of the state
to a place called Hobe Sound. Hobe Sound is up from Palm Beach. Palm Beach is where Donald Trump
lives. Donald Trump is a Florida resident. Now Nancy Pelosi wants to become a Florida resident.
Isn't that interesting? Isn't that unique?
Why would Nancy Pelosi want to come to the state
that everybody says is like kryptonite for Democrats?
Everyone says if you go to Florida,
they call them Ron Death Santas.
They say that the state will kill your children,
it will destroy you, that everything is scary,
that all the hospitals are overwhelmed down here.
Nancy Pelosi is 80.
Does she want anything to do with that?
Why would she come down here?
Unless it was all a lie.
Unless all of it was propaganda.
And Nancy Pelosi knows exactly that.
That's been her game for the last 40 years.
The wrap-up smear.
The wrap-up smear.
Nancy Pelosi has known how to attack Republicans her entire career,
and they've done this to Ron DeSantis. There's no truth to it. Ron DeSantis has handled this
pandemic like a champ, and Nancy Pelosi wants to live here. She certainly doesn't want to live
inside of San Francisco. No, no, no. Nancy Pelosi's district for the last 40 odd years in the house
has been San Francisco, one of the most liberal cities in the country, which much like everything
that liberalism touches has died. It has truly been ground into powder. Nothing. You don't want
to live in San Francisco. You don't want to retire in San Francisco. The last place you would ever
want your family to grow up is San Francisco. We've done a lot of reporting on the current
state of San Francisco, the conditions inside of San Francisco. We've gone there. We've taken
our show there. It was some of the most grotesque and sickening things I've ever seen. You saw
public defecation, robbery, needles, drug abuse, homelessness. As far as the eye can see,
it is a third world country. Nancy Pelosi's policies have turned it into a third world
country. Their police are defunded and there's now a misdemeanor charge only for shoplifting
any item under nine hundred and fifty dollars. What do you think that's done? They have to close
all of their Walgreens. They have
to close all of the stores. San Francisco, it's a terrible thing because San Francisco is one of
the most historic and beautiful cities in America, utterly ravaged by the left. The left destroys
everything that they touch. And Nancy Pelosi wouldn't dare retire inside of San Francisco.
The last place you'd ever want your family to live is under
Democrat control. And Nancy Pelosi knows that. That's why she's coming down to Florida. A little
bit of our reporting on San Francisco here for you. San Francisco is home to some of the most
iconic imagery in America. You can see behind me the Golden Gate Bridge. But just a couple of blocks
away from here are scenes that don't resemble America at all.
Scenes that are downright third world.
Scenes that Nancy Pelosi and the leftists who have controlled this city for decades do not want you to see.
It's very easy to catch someone in the act of like sh**ting the street. Since the first of the year, the city's 3-1-1 service has received an astounding 14,597 calls about piles of
poop.
Mayor London Breed has been taking unannounced tours, checking out the city streets, and
knows all too well this icky issue.
I've had to deal with it myself in front of my home, and it is not a pleasant feeling.
I want to change San Francisco for the better. I want to
clean up the city. We hope when we have the new mayor, London Breed, she do something. She did
nothing. She did nothing for that. Yeah, it's gotten worse. More, more stink, more homelessness.
I just walked by a guy who was shooting up heroin right under the street, right in front of me.
This is not America. This is not the way America is supposed to look. Yeah, so why the hell would you ever want to live like that?
Why would you ever want to live inside of a...
It won't take long to tell you Neutral's ingredients.
Vodka, soda, natural flavors.
So, what should we talk about
no sugar added
neutral refreshingly simple chaos failed state like the one that nancy Pelosi has created. And very much we call them
the parasite class. They are parasitic in the sense that they go from host to host.
Nancy Pelosi doesn't want to go back to San Francisco. She's already killed that place.
She wants to move along to the next place to destroy. That's why I emphatically oppose her
moving down to Florida, even though it would be kind of nice to see. She's living on the same corridor as Donald Trump, just up the beach, you could say, by country standards from Donald Trump.
Donald Trump in Palm Beach, where Mar-a-Lago is.
Nancy Pelosi looking at Hobe Sound, according to reports, up the coastline from Donald Trump, but right in the same neighborhood, you could say.
Well, why would Donald Trump and Nancy Pelosi in the same neighborhood, you could say. Well, why would
Donald Trump and Nancy Pelosi both want to live here? I thought this was the COVID death spiral
of Deathsantis. Not true, according to Fox News. Now, California has twice the COVID rate of
Florida. This just breaking today. California's coronavirus rate is double that of Florida,
despite mass
mandates and recommendations to prevent the spread of the virus. Florida continues to have the lowest
case rate per capita of any state, according to the New York Times. Cases in California are no
longer falling, with the state increasing to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's
red-high level, the virus transmission stemming from the Delta variant, the outlet reported.
But southern states such as Texas and Florida,
where state leaders do not enforce mask policies or support strict mandates,
are in the CDC's orange transmission level, much lower.
California's vaccination rate is higher than the states of Texas and Florida,
and they have vaccine mandates for schoolchildren, for all workers. 62% of California's total population is
fully vaccinated. Florida reports 60% and Texas 54%. So they have higher vaccination rates.
Governor Gavin Newsom, who has been weirdly absent, nobody knows where Gavin Newsom is,
we're not going to speculate on that,
but there are some gathering reports that are not good for the governor of California. We'll see if
that materializes into real actual reporting that can be verified. But boy, Gavin Newsom having a
rough one, according to rumors in the Bay Area,
officials reimposed indoor face mask mandate orders and will not lift the measures until
the area falls below the CDC's orange substantial transmission levels.
So Nancy Pelosi's district has strict mask mandates.
There are strict mandates literally everywhere in California, everything in California, all
of your civil rights, all of your human rights, all of your God-given rights have been stripped
from you during COVID.
That's the goal of these tyrants to use panic and emergency moments, moments of crisis and
chaos in order to destroy your civil rights.
And that is their goal in life. And they succeeded
in blue states, and they failed and have failed miserably, even though they keep trying in red
states. And thank God for our red states. It was very interesting because there are photos right
now circulating of Nancy Pelosi officiating a high profile wedding in California, uh, uh, to the Getty, uh, Getty,
uh, images, Getty, uh, uh, uh, media empire heiress. She, uh, got married in California.
Nancy Pelosi officiated no one wearing masks. Isn't that interesting? Uh, Nancy Pelosi standing
there maskless indoors and the two, uh, people who are getting married standing maskless indoors. They attacked
Ron DeSantis so savagely for not for not imposing mask mandates on children. One of the cruelest,
most evil things you can do. And they attacked Ron DeSantis regularly. They went after him.
They said that he wants children to die. One of the people who was the loudest is the very smooth brained, chronically smooth brained anchor at CNN, Don Lamon. Here's
what Don Lamon said about Ron DeSantis. They want to protect kids, governor.
What do you want? The CDC and the AMA both agree that masks reduce the transmission of the virus. But DeSantis
reacted to the Miami-Dade school board's vote today in favor of a mask mandate with a statement
pushing the same old misguided bad faith view of freedom. This has nothing to do with freedom.
Yes, yes. Very insightful, truly there. Well, you know, what's interesting and insightful is that Don Lamont, while criticizing Ron DeSantis for not imposing mask mandates, essentially they're saying that he is killing children by not forcing people to mask inside of Florida, has himself been outed for vacationing, lounging in Florida outside at a pool, maskless. Yes, that's right. A woman found Don Lamont maskless sitting around a pool,
a pool being a place that a lot of kids gather around.
He's in Florida.
And, you know, just after broadcasting that Ron DeSantis wants all the kids to die
for doing that exact same thing, being maskless in Florida,
here's what it sounded like.
I want to thank you.
He's like a big marketing guy. I want to thank you. He's like a big marketing guy.
I want to thank you. Yeah, Don Lemon, right?
Yeah, okay. Yeah, it's Halloween today, right?
It's Halloween. Yeah. Oh, Don Lemon. That's okay.
Well, I want to thank you. No, thank you so much.
And you're in a great state of Florida. I hope you guys enjoy it.
Hmm. Very interesting. Very interesting indeed.
I find it very odd that Nancy Pelosi wants to move down to Florida,
that Don Lamont is vacationing in Florida and lounging about in Florida.
When you hear so much about how Florida is a hellhole where everyone is dying
and all the hospitals are overwhelmed and nobody's happy,
it just proves how fake, how much agiprope there is in our professional corporate
press.
It's all a narrative.
Do not believe the narrative.
Believe your own eyes and believe the voice of your boy, Benny, living here in Florida,
telling you that it is a wonderful, wonderful place to live.
And it's the best decision I've ever made with my family to move down here. One of the better decisions I've ever made also
on behalf of my family has been saving my eyes. It would not be a good life for me to further
damage my vision. I already don't have great vision. I can't see anything with my glasses off
and you only get one set of eyes, guys, so you got to treat them right. It's why I use better
spectacles. Better spectacles is a incredible company that helps me see in order to do this
show in order to do our social media, in order to do election coverage, everything that we're
doing here is made possible by better spectacles, better spectacles is better because they use
Rotenstock eyewear, a German engineered eyewear company that has a
144-year-old history of being the gold standard throughout the world in eyewear. They have 500
patents and are always a decade ahead of every other eyeglasses company on the market. Don't
cheap out on your eyewear, people. Again, you you got to protect your eyes. I use their specialty
intermediate vision glasses, which are great. If you're looking at a phone or a computer all day,
I bet a lot of you are these computer spectacles from Rotenstock use an advanced algorithm for more
than 2 million patients measuring 7,000 points inside of the eye. It is sophisticated. The result is that I have
more energy and no neck strain, and I'm able to see 40% better guys. I just can't recommend them
enough. Better spectacles go to better spectacles backslash Benny now to schedule a teleoptical
appointment. And you don't even have to leave your house. They're offering an introductory 61% off for my listeners right now.
And free handcrafted German-made Rotenstock frames with every order.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, this is a bombshell.
Breaking as we were doing the show, we actually switched up the show and needed to add
this story. Current Biden official has been revealed as the name in the Clinton lawyer
indictment. Shift is also Adam shift is getting called out live on the view for spreading Russian
disinformation. Boy, oh boy. When it rains, it pours. When it pours, it rains.
And it is raining right now upon the people who lied to this country for years and years.
Let's go ahead and read the article here from Fox News.
Jake Sullivan, President Biden's White House National Security Advisor, is the foreign
policy advisor referred to in the indictment of former Hillary Clinton's presidential
campaign lawyer, Michael Sussman, according to two well-placed sources.
This is the closest special counsel John Durham's investigation into the origins of
Russiagate has come to anyone directly associated with the Biden White House.
This is a big association.
You will remember that Jake Sullivan is the translucent-skinned, gangly, wet-toothpick-looking man who was trotted out during the Afghanistan collapse, debacle, embarrassment to our country,
essentially in order to lie to you and in order to jargon you to death
with conversations about hot washes and all this trash.
This guy was directly responsible for our failures in Afghanistan
and directly responsible for the deaths of 13 Americans. Well, now it seems like he may be directly implicated inside of the fake
dossier investigation, lying to the FBI. Multiple people have already gone to jail. We'll see what
happens to Jake Sullivan. Let's continue to read. So Sussman, which was the Hillary Clinton lawyer,
was indicted for lying to the FBI on September 16th.
He's pleaded not guilty to one count of making a false statement to a federal agent.
The case came out of Durham's probe into the origins of the Russian investigation.
Durham's indictment alleges that Sussman told the FBI general counsel, James Baker,
that he was not doing work for any client when he wanted to meet and spread
the Russian disinformation dossier to the FBI in order to hurt Donald Trump. In fact, he was
working for the Clinton campaign, of course, and the Clinton campaign funded the dossier,
paid for the dossier, and then colluded with Russia. Now we know in order to create the dossier
lies. The Durham indictment lays out a scenario
where an unnamed Clinton campaign lawyer
exchanged emails with Clinton's campaign manager,
communications director, and foreign policy advisor,
we now know to be Jake Sullivan,
currently serving as Joe Biden's National Security Counsel.
The allegations are going to potentially wind up being very bad for Sullivan, although
right now there is no indication that Sullivan is a target of Durham's investigation. That could
change at any moment. Fox News reached out to Sullivan's office for comment and didn't get
anything. And the deputy White House press secretary, Corrine Jean-Pierre, essentially pivoted and
punted on this issue and said that she can't talk about it.
All right.
Well, something that the entire Internet is talking about right now is the amount of indictments
that may come.
The national intelligence director for Donald Trump, John Ratcliffe, said that he sent thousands
of pages of damning documents to John
Durham and that many more indictments are to come. This has many in the Democratic establishment
shaking because they know that this narrative is unraveling. Shaking is precisely what happened to
Adam Schiff. Adam Schiff was shaking and stammering and making a fool of himself on the view when
asked real questions by Morgan Ortagonist,
a former State Department spokeswoman.
Morgan is a friend of the show, a fantastic patriot, and she just wrecked Adam Schiff here.
We've got to play you the full clip.
It is incredible to watch this weasel squirm and squeal and wiggle.
This guy is nailed dead to rights. And Morgan just finishes with
bravado, saying that you are the one spreading Russian disinformation. Schiff doesn't know what
to say. He talks about getting an erection from Donald Trump. Very weird. Listen to this.
You've been really prolific over the past few years being the head of the Intel Committee,
and you defended, promoted, you even read into the congressional record the Steele dossier.
And we know last week the main source of the dossier was indicted by the FBI for lying
about most of the key claims in that dossier.
Do you have any reflections on your role in promoting this to the American people?
Well, first of all, whoever lied to the FBI or lied to Christopher Steele should be prosecuted.
And they are.
And unlike in the Trump administration, if they're convicted,
they should go to jail and not be pardoned.
So Donald Trump pardoned Roger Stone for lying.
He pardoned Michael Flynn for lying.
If people lied to the FBI, they should go to jail.
But at the beginning of the Russian investigation,
I said that any allegations should be investigated.
We couldn't have known, for example, people were lying to Christopher Steele.
So it was proper to investigate them.
And let's not forget what we learned in that investigation.
We learned that the Trump campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, was giving internal polling data, campaign polling data, to Russian intelligence, while Russian intelligence was helping the Trump campaign.
And to be clear, he was fired halfway through the campaign.
Well, he may have been fired.
But the effort to get Russian help continued and even beyond the effort to get Russian
help.
But you may have spread Russian disinformation yourself for years by promoting this.
I think that's what Republicans and what people who entrusted you as the Intel committee chair
are so confused about your culpability in all of this.
Well, I completely disagree with your premise.
It's one thing to say allegations should be investigated, and they were.
It's another to say that we should have foreseen in advance
that some people were lying to Christopher Steele,
which is impossible, of course, to do.
But let's not use that as a smokescreen
to somehow shield Donald Trump's culpability
for inviting Russia to help him in the election, which they did, for trying to coerce Ukraine
into helping him in the next election, which he did, into inciting an insurrection, which
he did.
None of that is undercut.
None of that serious misconduct is in any way diminished by the fact that people lied
to Christopher Steele. LISA DESJARD. No, I think just your credibility is. Well, I think the credibility of
your question. Oh, man, that is the most viral clip on the Internet right now. Adam Schiff
finally getting his just desserts. And what a what a what a beautiful but humiliating and sad
repudiation of our corporate media and our corporate press that it falls to
the view. It falls to the view to ask Adam Schiff real questions. There are thousands of reporters
in Washington, D.C. that could walk up to Adam Schiff at any time and ask him about this,
ask him about spreading a dossier that we now know is lies, that we know was a hoax,
that we know was paid for by Hillary Clinton while she was colluding
with Russia. Adam Schiff doesn't get asked that question ever. Adam Schiff went on TV and said
that he had seen proof that Donald Trump colluded with Russia. That was a lie. There was no such
thing. Adam Schiff went on TV for two solid years and spread the Steele dossier as bona fide and as real and as foundational. And we all know that
is a crock of crap now. And Adam Schiff is the one spreading Russian disinformation. He's a shameless
weasel liar. And these are the kind of people that we want to rip out of their seats of power.
The number one way to do it would be to rip Adam Schiff off of his committee chair on the Intelligence Committee. This would be the most important thing
to do. And to do that, you need to hand Republicans back Congress. Polling is showing that
Republicans are going to get Congress back 50 to 60 plus seats, the same type of majority swing
that happened in Barack Obama's midterm election for his first term, 60 plus seats to
Republicans, Barack Obama. His third term, which is happening right now, seems like it's going to
repeat history. We'll see what happens and we'll be telling you all that happens here on this show.
We love watching the weasel shift get his. We'll keep you posted.
A lot of breaking news.
A lot of big stuff happening.
And a full special on the Kyle Rittenhouse trial happening tomorrow.
We are going to be doing a deep dive on the show tomorrow.
Kyle Rittenhouse, the biggest trial in the country right now.
Certainly going in favor of a young man who's been wrongly accused
on so many fronts. And we're going to cover it in detail tomorrow.
