We certainly are on our show. Here are three things you need to know to be smart today. First story, thousands of flight cancellations hit Southwest, speculated to be a strike against vaccine mandates. One of the largest airlines in America crippled because they forced the vaccine on their employees. What does this mean? Well, it means chaos across the entire country. People are stranded for days and there's no end in sight. There was no end in sight to the amount of people who showed up for Trump's massive rally in Iowa, breaking state fairground records for the number of people who showed up. Did Trump announce his run for president? We have all the clips and highlights on this show. And here's why Iowa is crucial for the 2024 and 2022 cycles. I have all the breakdowns as an Iowa as to why this state will truly determine

where America is headed in our near future. And the anti-cancel culture movement is here. I watched the Dave Chappelle special this weekend. It is glorious. Fueled entirely by the tears of his haters, Dave Chappelle gave a barn burner in Detroit and just brought the house down. I have my full review. My name is Benny Johnson, and this is The Benny Show. Ladies and gentlemen, the revolution is here. The pushback against

vaccine mandates and unconstitutional orders over your bodily autonomy has finally broken the American industrial system. horrifying and haunting halt this weekend over patriots resisting over pilots standing up and changing the entire paradigm when it comes to the crippling and violative vaccine mandates over your bodies. The pilots of Southwest airlines and American Airlines and Amtrak engineers are standing in the gap and saying, no, not our bodies, not your choice. This is where we draw the line. It is a beautiful thing to see and the effects are catastrophic, but so are the effects that are necessary for freedom to flourish. There must be some hard choices made, and the pilots of Southwest Airlines are making those choices today. I read to you from Breitbart.com. Just two days after Southwest Pilots Union asked federal judge to block the company's vaccine mandate,

the airline canceled 1,800 flights this weekend, blaming bad weather. Southwest Airline canceled more than 1,800 flights this weekend, disrupting travel plans for thousands of customers and stranding crews, blaming the meltdown on a combination of bad weather, air traffic control, and a shortage of available staff. Interesting. On Friday, Southwest Airlines Pilot Association filed a lawsuit asking a federal judge to temporarily block the company from carrying out federally mandated coronavirus vaccinations until the existing lawsuit over the alleged U.S. labor law violations is resolved. So what's happening here are two different narratives. The pilots union is saying, wait a second, we are not going to comply with this vaccine mandate,

period. We are going to litigate this thing. And Southwest is saying, well, we have thousands of canceled flights and tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of travelers that are stranded now, and it's due to weather. Amazingly, the FAA wasn't reporting any inclement weather around the nation that would cause such an outage, and Southwest was the only airline affected. Isn't that interesting? I continue the statement from the Southwest Pilots Association, their union. The new vaccine mandate unlawfully imposes new conditions of employment, and the new policy threatens termination of any pilot not fully vaccinated by December 8th, 2021. The legal filing said Southwest Airlines additional new and unilateral modifications

of the party's collective bargaining agreement is a clear violation of the union rules. Further adding to the mayhem, Forbes reported that American Airlines just canceled 63 flights or 2% on its schedule. So it's starting to affect American Airlines. Spirit Airlines canceled 32% of its flights and 4% of its planned departures. Now it is spreading across airlines. They want you to think that this was just because of the weather or personnel shortages. Why are there personnel shortages? We are living right now in a time of extreme disinformation and misinformation. And this is one of the largest psyops I have ever seen. They do not want you to connect your canceled plans, your absolutely crushed holiday travel schedule

with Joe Biden's vaccine mandates. This is real pain and it is what is going to have to happen in order for us to get over this moment of insanity right now of medical tyranny in our country. God bless these pilots. I want to play for you a video from an American airline pilot released today explaining why they are staging these sick outs is what they're called. I've been an airline pilot for 18 years and now I'm facing an ultimatum. Not a choice, but an ultimatum. I'm being told in order to continue my career as an

airline pilot, I must be vaccinated, which really means I have to choose between putting food on the table for my family and my freedom of choice. Whether you believe in vaccination is the right thing to do or not, the situation goes far beyond health. We, the American people, have fought for freedom for 257 years. We go around the world spreading ideas of freedom and democracy. We help other countries and people fight for their freedoms while ours are being stripped away. You may think being forced to wear a mask or get a vaccination is insignificant, but when you begin to compile mandate after mandate and loss of freedom after freedom, it becomes very significant. As each thing is taken away, we face what is known as the shifting baseline syndrome.

This syndrome changes our idea of a new and acceptable normal. Soon, we will not remember what it was like to have the freedoms we once did. Our children and our grandchildren will experience less freedom, and they won't have the freedoms we once did. Our children and our grandchildren will experience less freedom, and they won't have the privilege or the pleasure to enjoy the same choices our parents had or that we have. If we give in to these mandates and we do not stand up for our freedom of choice, we dishonor every armed service person over the last 257 years, a disservice to the people who have fought and bled for the very freedoms we enjoy. Whether you believe in vaccination or not, I'm standing up for your freedom of choice. You may support the vaccine mandates because they fall in line with

your current beliefs. But if we let this happen now, there will be a day when what you're told to do will not fall in line with your beliefs. If we do not stand together and fight back in one voice, soon we could be told where to live, what job we will do, what religion to believe, and how many children we can have. Do you really want someone telling your children or your grandchildren what, when, and how they will live every minute of their lives? It's time we take a stance. It's time we fight for our freedom of choice while we still can. Join us. That is what true bravery looks like. True bravery is standing up to the powers that be when you know that they are wrong, not going along with what

corporate America and what the culture tells you to do, standing up for the rights of yourself, your family, and perhaps even strangers, because you know what you are doing is right. Not bowing your head like a humiliated, demoralized person, and doing what you are told, but standing in the gap when you know something is wrong. This is an incredible moment in America. We are 100% behind these pilots. We back them.

We support them. How can you not, after listening to that incredible message, it gives you chills. The opposite of that message is what Joe Biden is saying right now. But be wary. Southwest Airlines is collapsing right now in the stock market. They lost three percent of their value in pre-market trading. Other companies are seeing the same absolute collapse of our American system is happening, and Joe Biden is applauding it.

Listen to this clip from the White House last week. More people are getting vaccinated. More lives are being saved. Let's be clear. When you see headlines and reports of mass firings and hundreds of people losing their jobs, look at the bigger story. I've spoken with Scott Kirby, CEO of United Airlines, who's here today. United went from 59% of their employees to 99% of their employees in less than two months after implementing the requirement, 99%. Wonder why Joe Biden's approval rating is

in the toilet, swirling at the very bottom of historic presidential approval ratings. It's because of sickening stomach turning drivel like that. Joe Biden celebrating the loss of jobs. Joe Biden gleeful that people are losing their careers and their profession over his mandate. It is truly evil malevolence in our time. Joe Biden is trying to kill the American worker. As we have said many times in this program, Joe Biden does not have the best interest of Americans in mind. He is trying to crush the American worker. If you are a worker in America, you must stand up. There is no end to this or any mandate as long as we comply. These brave pilots are certainly the heroes we need right now. They are standing up to tyranny. They don't want to lose their jobs, but shocking rate right now are farmers and ranchers. These people certainly know how to do what is right. They have been the backbone of America. The red-blooded, good-hearted, hard-working Americans who keep food on our tables through tough times.

They go to work in all seasons to make sure that you can eat. And the best way to support them is to go to good ranchers.com. Good ranchers.com is a 100% American meat company. They ship that meat directly to your door. You will never be without 100% American raised beef, delicious steaks, chicken. It is a fantastic product. It's the only meat that we eat in the Johnson household. My wife loves it. She's a very picky eater right now. She's pregnant. She can only eat very few things, has a lot of food aversions. The seasoned chicken that Good Ranchers send individually packaged and wrapped, easy to make, easy to cook. And she is obviously in heaven when the Good Ranchers box arrives.

Go to goodranchers.com backslash Benny right now and save $20 or better yet, subscribe and save on each box of mouthwatering American meats that will show up on schedule right to your door. That's right, $20 off and a free express shipping if you go to goodranchers.com backslash Benny. Use the code Benny at checkout guys. This is how you support American workers. It's how you support American jobs. It's how you support Americans in our fight against tyranny in our fight against stupid government rules and mandates that put us out of business and make our country weaker. Good ranchers.com eat like an American. All right. So checking in on the Southwest stock right now, Southwest airline stock is

cratering and crumbling along with American airlines stock guys. It is true. The power that we have to stand up to these authoritarians. We are the majority in this country. It's important to remember that they want you to feel alone. This is a tactic. They want you to feel as though you are the only one who believes the way that you do, that you are the only person who wants American freedoms, the freedoms that your grandparents enjoyed, the freedoms that your parents enjoyed, the freedoms you were raised with. They want you to believe that those are gone and that you are the only person standing in the gap and saying no. Feeling alone and feeling isolated is the purpose of the gulags.

It's the purpose of struggle sessions. It's the purpose of authoritarians and tyrannical dictatorships around the world. They have always employed them in order to make the oppressed feel as though they are the only ones who are on their side. It is a tactic to humiliate and demoralize you. It doesn't work in modern day America. Thanks in part to a little phenomenon we call a Trump rally. That's right. The Trump rallies were the first time in American history where conservatives in mass started to stand up and said with one unified voice, no, no. We are sick of the government intruding in our lives, intruding in the way that we live, and we will not allow this cultural rot to infect our children any longer. The massive Trump rallies, sometimes 20,000, sometimes 30,000, sometimes 40,000 people

strong were across the country, coast to coast in red states and blue states. It was a show of force that was unable to be ignored by the corporate media. Joe Biden couldn't even fill a phone booth. Joe Biden cannot fill a very small parking lot with supporters. They have to draw circles in the ground. They have to sit in little circles all around the parking lot for Joe Biden to look like he has an audience. No, no. I have seen many more people standing in the Chick-fil-A line at the airport than I've seen at a Joe Biden rally. And I've been to a few. It's incredible. They can't even fill the auditoriums inside of CNN specials for Joe Biden. Incredible to watch what happened this weekend in Iowa, the ever crucial state of Iowa,

the state that decides who the nominees are at the very least gets them kicked out of the gate and started. Iowa held a rally for Donald Trump at the fairgrounds in Des Moines. The fairgrounds in Des Moines are massive. You have the largest state fair in the country inside of the Iowa State Fair inside of the fairgrounds in Des Moines. The Iowa State Fairgrounds have a huge attendance capacity, and Donald Trump blew the doors off this weekend. This is the anecdote to you feeling as though you are alone. When you look at these images and see the people spreading out as far as the eye can see like an ocean of supporters for the freedom movement and the American first movement, it's the anecdote to all of the lies and misinformation you get told in the media. It is the anecdote to you feeling alone.

And it is a beautiful thing. We are a complete support of these rallies. We think that they are a wonderful visualization of the power of this movement and the power of the majority. The power of the majority is what is crippling airlines right now and stopping the flow of goods throughout this country. People saying we will not abide or tolerate these unconstitutional mandates. It is incredible. You can only do it if you have a majority of the people on your side. And that is who showed up for Donald Trump in Des Moines this Saturday. Some highlights from the Trump rally that was just enormous. 20,000 people

is what was the number given. Many Trump insiders are telling us that it was much more than that, maybe 5,000, 10,000 people more than that, all around the exterior and the edges. But 20,000 is the official number. 20,000 people showing up for the rally. A banner that said, let's go, Brandon flew overhead at the Iowa fairgrounds before the rally. Let's go, Brandon. The best meme from the Trump era, from the Biden era. Correction. But the Trump era, it seems, may come roaring back. Trump gave what sounded to many like a hint of an announcement that he is running in 2024.

Let's cut to a few clips here of Donald Trump talking about the debt ceiling, talking about the Republican Party, talking about Afghanistan and roasting the woke left. A really beautiful, beautiful thing. He says Ilhan Omar may have married her brother. Well, here we go. And he, of course, roasts Eric Swalwell. Here we go. Donald Trump, some clips. Let's play them. This is the Trump rally. A barn burner, we say. I'm an Iowan. We call this a barn burner. Go. This is your home. This is your heritage. And our magnificent American liberty is your God-given right.

And just in closing, I just want to say the United States of America will not tell you how to live, how to think, what to do. You will not be bossed by incompetent, dishonest, disgusting politicians, by big tech tyrants, by left-wing bullies or anybody else, because we are a great, proud and sovereign people. We know what to do. We are a great, proud and sovereign nation. We are born free. We will live free and we will win again like we've never, ever won before. Omar, how about Omar? Omar is in there too. She doesn't she doesn't like Israel too much. She didn't she marry her brother. She came in. She married her brother. This is nice.

And they don't do anything about it. They don't do anything about it with us. They do everything right. Oh, they do everything. Why are they investigating Swalwell? What a sleazebag. Why aren't they investigating him? For being with, I say being, being with. What is being with? I'll give you a definition afterwards.

For being with a Chinese spy. Why does he have to be with a Chinese spy? And he's on the big committees? You can hear the roars from the audience, the roars from the crowd. This is why it is so important to cover topics like this. Iowa is crucial in the battle for 2022 and 2024. Iowa is a bellwether, as you may say. As Iowa goes, the nation goes, because Iowa has such an interesting demographic. Iowa has such an interesting group of people. As someone who was raised in Iowa, I can tell you, Iowans are very politically astute. We follow politics

like a profession. Many states sort of go about their business, don't care about politics. In Iowa, it is the number one conversation on the dinner table, coffee table, or at the bar stool. It is indeed a way of life to follow politicians, and we vet our politicians. It's why you see people standing up to Joe Biden when he comes to Iowa, when Joe Biden was campaigning in Iowa. There was a man who stood up to him. It was incredible. It sounded like this. This is the power. This is, of course, well before Joe Biden ever was leading any polls. This is the power of the informed Iowa electorate asking Joe Biden about his son. Listen to

then candidate Joe Biden snapping on this island. In order to get access to the president, you're selling access to the president just like he is. You're a damn liar, man. That's not true. And no one has ever said that. No one has ever done that. I see it on the TV. You see it on the TV.

No, I know you do. And by the way, that's why I'm not sedentary. I get up and let him go. Let him go. Look, the reason I'm running is because I've been around a long time and I know more than most people know. And I can get things done. That's why I'm running. And you want to check my shape line?

Let's do push-ups together, man. Let's run. Let's do whatever you want to do. Let's take nine pieces. Number two. Number two. No one has said my son has done anything wrong, and I did not on any occasion. And no one has ever said it.

I didn't say you were doing anything wrong. You said I set up my son to work in an oil company. Isn't that what you said? Get your words straight, Jack. But I hear on MSNBC. You don't hear that on MSNBC. You did not hear that at all. What you heard. Look, okay. I'm not going to get in an argument with you, man. Well, yeah, you do. But look, look, here's the deal. Here's the deal. Honestly, Iowans have a great BS detector because we are around a lot of BS. As a kid, I shoveled S, you could call it, day and night on a hog farm.

It's what we do in Iowa. We can sniff it when we see it. We can tell. And that is why Iowans are asking their governor and demanding better. Iowa's Governor Kim Reynolds signed some incredible legislation this year, and we're going to give you a little rundown of what that was. Iowa's taken steps for election integrity. You may remember that the caucuses for Democrats were a nightmare in Iowa. The Democrats were cheating all the way back then. They were using fraudulent systems to count their votes. Boy, a sign of things to come. Iowa

Governor Kim Reynolds signed on March 8th a bill that reduces the times that Iowans can vote in the election. No voteramas there. The Republican majority legislature has also banned ballot drop boxes and early voter periods and earlier due date absentee ballots. They've also penalized schools that teach critical race theory. It is a really powerful thing to do, and they have added massive infraction fines for those who commit election fraud. $10,000 is the starting fine for election fraud pursuant legal action. New voter laws follow a lawsuit by the Trump presidential campaign against three Iowa auditors who sent voter absentee ballot request forms with pre-filled out information last fall.

You want to know exactly how corrupt these systems can become. So it is a great state. It doesn't get a lot of attention, but it is a great state for election integrity and for the integrity of our people and our system. Iowa must be protected. The Iowa caucuses must be protected. And it is such an important, an important bellwether truly for conservatism itself. Iowa has four seats in the United States House. Three of them are held by Republicans. Iowa has two Republican senators, and it has become much more red over the course of my lifetime. Iowa used to have a Democrat and a Republican senator, and most of their House seats filled by Democrats. It's an important thing because as the country goes,

so goes Iowa. This is called the Overton window effect. The left wants to try and push the Overton window, meaning the window of acceptable political norms farther and farther to the left. They always want it to sink downward and downward and downward, but they are losing places like Iowa by doing that. With their more extreme measures, their mandates, their sociopathic border policies, in Iowa you have a situation with Molly Tibbetts. Molly Tibbetts is a young Iowan who was a student at the University of Iowa. She was just running down the same roads that I used to run on when I was getting in shape for varsity football, right? She was running down one of those roads. She was abducted, murdered, raped, and her body was dumped in the field by an illegal immigrant.

Iowans know the pain and the suffering that can come from these open border policies, the horrific loss of American farmland and farmers, the crippling collapse of the dollar. This affects Iowans very much in their ability to engage in the type of large-scale commerce that is necessary to run a farm, the increased costs of goods, the increased costs of services, the shutdowns of shipping. If you have a giant bushel of corn, if you have a corn grain bin sitting there and there's no trucks to take your grain to the processing plant in order to make bread or to make corn syrup, well, then you have a major problem. Fuel shortages, fuel price increases. These things affect, these things affect farmers more than they affect the average

American because the farmer is using large implements, needing that fuel, needing those trucks to drive, needing the systems of shipping to continue and to operate. And the Biden administration is obviously crumbling in that capacity. So as the left continues to destroy this country, Iowa drifts further rightward. Trump had an eight point margin of victory in the state in 2020. It seems as though Iowa is going to swing that direction in 2024. We'll see what happens in the 2022 election, but the Trump approval in Iowa is just astonishing. The Des Moines Register reported that the latest poll showed a 53% approval toward Trump in Iowa, 91% of Republicans feeling favorable towards him. On the other hand, Iowans have not just soured on Joe Biden, but have

chucked him directly into the burn barrel. Just 31% of Iowans approved of how Joe Biden is handling his duties as president, while a whopping 62% disapprove. Biden's disapproval number is below the lowest ever measured by the pollster. This is according to CNN. This is a bad poll for Biden. It's playing out in everything that he touches right now, says the pollster and seltzer to the Des Moines Register. Biden's approval on pulling American troops out of Afghanistan stands at a meager 22 percent approval. His handling of COVID-19 is now just as 36 percent among Iowans, again, the first in the nation caucus. This poll is rightly understood to as a blaring red alarm for now, just Biden, but especially for down ballot Democrats in Iowa and elsewhere. As Iowa goes, so goes the nation, people. If Biden's numbers are anywhere close to this bad in other swing states and districts,

Democrats hopes of holding on to their very narrow three House seat majority are somewhere close to non-existent. Unbelievable. This is Gallup, now speaking about Iowa. In Gallup's polling history, presidents with job approval ratings below 50% has seen their party lose 37 House seats on average in midterm election. Barack Obama lost 60 plus House seats when he was polling better than Joe Biden. Just a devastating, devastating poll, guys. It's not going to work out well for Joe Biden. Iowa is the indicator. Iowa, it's not just because the Hawkeyes are number two in the AP poll for college football rankings. It's not just because I went to the University of Iowa.

I have a deep and endearing respect for the people of Iowa. I have a deep and endearing respect because I grew up with them. I know how hardworking they are. I know that they are politically active and they are independent-minded, and that is very, very important. They see through, again, the BS. They see through it, and they are able to call our political class and our politicians out on it. It is so very important.

Most importantly in Iowa, the effects of policymaking hit farmers and hit Iowa communities harder and faster than in most places. If you live in a large metropolitan area, the slowdowns and the fuel, you may not need it. The food shortages, you may not see it coming. In Iowa, you can see it clear as day and people are sounding the alarm. Joe Biden is finished in Iowa. His polls are collapsing. And as goes Iowa, the collapse of the Democratic Party, it seems is imminent. Biden's disapproval is just. A well-marbled ribeye you ordered without even leaving the kiddie pool.

Instacart, groceries that over-deliver. As low as the lowest grain inside the bottom of the grain bin, guys. All right. Speaking of grains, let's give a grain of salt, sweet, salty, salty tear grains to Dave Chappelle. He is causing liberals to weep with pain and agony and horror at his new standup special on Netflix.

Liberals are calling now for Dave Chappelle to get canceled from NPR to The Hollywood Reporter. We have a ton of articles here saying that liberals, people who are in the trans community, who are writers for various shows, they refuse now to work with Netflix because Netflix platformed Dave Chappelle to say something like this. They've canceled people that are more powerful than me. Cancel JK Rowling. My God, JK Rowling wrote all the Harry Potter books by herself. She sold so many books, the Bible worries about her. And they canceled her because she said in an interview, and this is not exactly what

she said, but effectually, she said, gender was a fact. And then the trans community got mad as shit. They started calling her a TERF. I didn't even know what the fuck that was. But I know that trans people make up words to win arguments. So I looked it up. TERF is an acronym. Stands for Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists.

This is a real thing. This is a group of women that hate transgender. They don't hate transgender women, but they look at trans women the way we blacks might look at blackface. It offends them. Like, this bitch is doing an impression of me now I shouldn't speak on this because I am NOT a woman nor am I a trans as we've established I am a feminist that's right I'm team turf I agree

I agree man gender is a fact you have to look at it from a woman's perspective look at it like this Caitlyn Jenner whom I've met wonderful person Caitlyn Jenner, whom I've met, wonderful person. Caitlyn Jenner was voted woman of the year. Her first year as a woman. Ain't that something? Beat every bitch in Detroit, she's better than all of you. Gender is a fact. This is a fact. Every human being in this room, every human being on earth had to pass through the legs of a woman to be on earth. That is a fact.

That was Dave Chappelle saying what is a scientific fact that there are indeed two genders. And more importantly, that there is an entire class of people in America who get off on being victims, perpetual victims. They want to be offended. They wish to have the careers destroyed of people who offend them. They do not believe in free speech. They agree and believe entirely and wholeheartedly in authoritarian tyranny and censorship. It is why places like the Babylon Bee are getting censored on social media. The left will not allow dissent. And so it doesn't matter if you're Dave Chappelle. It doesn't matter if you are Jerry Seinfeld, who refuses to now do shows on college campuses, or Kevin Hart. You will get canceled. You will get canceled by the mob if you say something that they disagree with. And Dave Chappelle is now

the resounding king of anti-cancel culture. Anti-cancel culture. We watched the Dave Chappelle episode last night on Netflix, the special. It is glorious. You're going to get offended. You're going to find a joke in there that's going to hurt your feelings. There are jokes in there about Christianity. There are a lot of jokes in there about whites. There are jokes in this special about every class of people. It's hard to really find a group of people that he doesn't offend. But he goes in hard, not specifically protected classes that you cannot or are not allowed to make fun of. And Dave Chappelle just rips the bark off of this mantra.

And it's just brutal. I mean, you could see in the front row, there are people who are just very uncomfortable with the jokes that he's telling. There's a pink haired lady, a pink haired lady sitting in the front row of the Detroit opera house where Dave Chappelle is doing this standup special. And boy, she is angry. You can see at the whole time she is furious. This is what comedy is. Comedy is grounded in truth. Comedy is grounded in you not taking yourself so seriously. It's actually very healthy for a country to laugh at itself. It's very healthy for people to have the opportunity and the escapism of laughing together. If I tell you a joke about a priest, a minister, and a rabbi, you're going to laugh at the joke because in your life experience, you're going to have

representations of how priests, ministers, and rabbis act. You will have interacted with them. That will lead you to truth, and that will lead you to a nugget of humor inside of my joke. All comedy is grounded on stereotypes and on people's gathered assessment of various groups. If you're going to be making fun of people, whether it be white people, black people, Asian people, trans people, gay people, women, whatever, whether it's be bills, fans, or Packers fans, people from Chicago or New York, it doesn't matter whoever you're deciding to make fun of. you're going to have some type of presupposition, some type of stereotype in order to make fun of those people. Is it Italians? Is it Germans? Whatever. Is it

Iowans? Man, I'm part of like 20 of those groups, right? Christians, Germans, whites, you're going to have a stereotype. And in the left's orthodoxy, there are people that cannot be touched and cannot be made fun of. And that is truly what Dave Chappelle was going after in his comedy special. He was going after the protected classes, the anti-humor classes, as I like to call them. They are anti-humor. They are anti-free speech. They are anti-getting made fun of. And it's wrong because laughter is indeed a healing salve. It is a chemical salve actually in our brains. It releases oxytocin and serotonin when you laugh with people, when you can find joy with people,

and actually makes for a better country. We should want that. Dave Chappelle certainly offended me in a standup special. If you have a weak stomach or if you wish to not be offended at all, do not watch it. Do not turn it on. But if you want to laugh a little bit and you want to, of course, yourself say, oh, ouch, man, that's a bad one. And then laugh along with half his other jokes, then turn it on, watch it, give Dave Chappelle a little bit of credit. Obviously, Dave Chappelle and I don't see eye to eye. There was a cringy after the special. There was a cringy credits that ran that included Mariel Bowser in Washington, D.C., one of the worst mayors in America. I used to live in Mariel Bowser's ridiculous defunded DC state, but Dave Chappelle

is from DC. He included that. I don't agree with Dave Chappelle probably on many things politically, but I got to tell you, the guy is just correct in his championing and crusading for comedy and for the ability of people to talk, communicate, and laugh together. That's truly how you will heal America. Everyone take a chill pill. If you want a fun evening, go ahead and watch the Dave Chappelle special. All right, that has been our show for today. We will keep you informed as to what is happening now in our new revolution across this country. So exciting the times that we live in. People are standing up to government tyranny. They're standing up to liberal orthodoxy. They're saying, no, we,

It is a beautiful time to be an American. It is a beautiful time to be an American. It is a proud time to be fighting for freedom. The fight for liberty never ends, and we will keep fighting here on this show. Thank you so much for listening. My name is Benny Johnson, and this is The Benny Show. We'll be right back. from the failures when I got sent down my rookie year, all the injuries I had to overcome. Your mind is the most important tool you have in life. Be relentless.
