But lo and behold, Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe had a feline meltdown yesterday. Not what you want to see, honestly.

Frickin' Chairman Jim Jordan on the program, and he's going to be taking all of these important decisions to the mat because he's a wrestler. You know what I mean? What's another good way to say that, Killer Klein? A lot of wrestlers, like I'm good on wrestling jargon, but Killer Klein's a UFC expert.

Okay, ladies and gentlemen, speaking of the Christmas time, Killer Klein, I'm just going to jump down here to F Block, please.
Starting point is 00:05:59 Speaking of, it really is an F Block, because when I saw these photos, I went, holy F! Whoa! What is this? These photos of Joe Biden, man, from last night. We just got to show you these. This is crazy. And there's another, look at, what? Bro's about to be visited by three ghosts.
Starting point is 00:06:20 That's what this is. This is Christmas time at its best. Look at this. This guy just got done telling bob cratchit that he's not getting a raise that's what just happened all you need is like a little nightcap on him and a little candle little candlestick and a little robe it looks like he's wearing a robe right now what the hell is going on look at that hair look at that can i get the something about mary can you get something about mary the cameron diaz with her hair like that jerry can you grab that you just can we do a side by side here's what's going on and we've done so we're not trying to pick on old joe You know, old Joe will be lucky
Starting point is 00:07:05 if he winds up not in jail. Better have a little pocket pardon, they call it, for himself. This is a very interesting. Ronald Dahl, who has written some of the most classic children's books, and just a famous smith of words and thoughts and ideas. just a, you're just a, you know, a famous Smith of words
Starting point is 00:07:26 and thoughts and ideas at Ronald doll. There he is. Perfect. Dumbass Photoshop. Perfect. Amazing. That's actually what the accounts call. He wrote that people who have ugly thoughts on the inside, over time, show those thoughts on the outside. And when you see somebody as hideous as Joe Biden, as cretin-esque as Joe Biden, wobbling and shaking and twisted, you realize that it is a reflection of the guy's soul. When Joe Biden's biting and literally biting and shoving children's feet in his mouth, he did that. We have the video of him literally eating children. It's a sickness, man. And over the course of your life, if you have ugly thoughts on the inside, this is why redemption is so important. This is why forgiveness is so important. This is why confession is so important.
Starting point is 00:08:25 You can't keep those twisted, ugly thoughts on the inside without them bursting forth and making you an ugly person on the outside. This is what Joe Biden – can we go back to the original phone? That's what's happening with this dude. We've said that Joe Biden has a mental illness and has, like, problems in his brain. Now, he has had plates in his brain, right? ALX is aneur brain now he has had plates in his brain right alx's aneurysms he's had he's had to go get brain surgery before a couple times actually but what this shows you is that joe biden uh who was bald as a bat in the 70s he's got photos of this guy got a complete squeaky clean bald head looking like dana white in the 70s suddenly he has all the
Starting point is 00:09:07 miracle growth of hair you know what that is that's them taking a nail gun and literally punching hair in his head that's why it looks like that can you zoom in as close as we can get it right there can you zoom in and look at that what the reason his hair looks like that is because you they've you want to know why the guy has a tough time thinking or talking. It's because they've taken a nail gun and they've punched his hair into his head. It's all plastic.
Starting point is 00:09:34 It would go up like a polyester Christmas tree. Christmas vacation. If you lit a match around it. Look at that, dude. This was Joe Biden last night. It's for real. Yeah, look at this. This is such a great one.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Bald as a freaking bat. Look at that. Not all the plastic surgery in the world can cover up a ugly soul. Am I wrong? Right? Isn't that something? Isn't that something? Isn't that something? You see these people with all this plastic surgery,
Starting point is 00:10:10 and you realize there's nothing more beautiful than aging gracefully and peacefully and happily. We had Mae Musk on the program the other day. And she was talking about a beautiful woman for 70 years old. 75, I think, May Mosque. Anyway, there's nothing more beautiful than being peaceful and confident in yourself and your actions in life. You grow with that and you become beautiful, actually, as you grow and you advance. You become more beautiful with age, in fact, and wisdom. And this is the opposite. This is a twisted and tortured soul. And there's a reason why Joe Biden is tortured, because there's only so long that you can live a
Starting point is 00:10:54 lie. And the ultimate person that you're lying to with Joe Biden when he's lying about pardoning his son or when he's lying about he doesn't know anything that Hunter's doing, he's actually lying to himself. He's disgracing himself when Joe Biden said he was the most popular president in American history. Hmm. My ass. Joe Biden will leave office as the worst president in modern history. Here we go, ladies and gentlemen. Let's kick off the show with some good news. Voters have delivered a devastating verdict on Joe Biden's office, branding him the worst president in almost 50 years.
Starting point is 00:11:22 An exclusive Daily Mail poll found that Biden was less impressive than Jimmy Carter. We've done that show. Danny, ALX, we've done that show. We literally have done the show. It was like years ago. We were like, wait a second. He's going to wind up worse than Jimmy. I'm not sure. Does that photo of Jimmy Carter, right? Clearly knocked out. I'm trying to make fun of him. He's like 100 years old. Again, it's elder abuse. His family's sitting there like having him vote, you know, for Kamala.
Starting point is 00:11:54 It's elder abuse is what it is. It's the same thing. I'm not sure who looks better, but I can tell you who has a better standing with the American public. Jimmy Carter does. Holy smokes. For my entire life,
Starting point is 00:12:04 Jimmy Carter was like the joke that you'd say. And now it's official. Jimmy Carter, look what his family did. Look at this. How much elder abuse goes on on the left? These people are despicable, truly. They said he's sticking around to vote for Kamala. That's right.
Starting point is 00:12:23 He's voting for Kamala. The funny thing is everybody saw this photo and thought it for Kamala. That's right. He's voting for Kamala. The funny thing is, everybody saw this photo and thought it was Joe Biden. That's a fact. It's like a couple months ago when this was out. Yeah. There you go. Okay, anyway, let's keep reading.
Starting point is 00:12:35 The poll results make him the worst president in our lifetime. Worse than Richard Nixon, who was forced to resign rather than face impeachment over a devastating Watergate scandal. Fun fact. The pardon that Richard Nixon got for Watergate was half as broad, half as large as the pardon that Joe Biden just gave Hutcher. And get ready, the pardon machine is whirling overtime in Washington, D.C. There are going to be so many pardons. Yet when 1,000 registered voters were asked to rank the nine presidents in order from best to worst,
Starting point is 00:13:17 Biden came in at the very bottom, making him the worst president in 47 years. 44% place him as one of the worst of two, while 14% place him at the top of the worst presidents ever. The other worst was Nixon, who absolutely, absolutely should not be on that list. Nixon was a spectacular president when you actually dig into it. James Johnson, co-founder of JL Partners, who conducted the polls and did the polling
Starting point is 00:13:38 for President Trump, which was spot on, called it a diabolical result for Joe Biden. There is always a recency bias As Joe Biden is the incumbent He starts off at a disadvantage But regardless, these numbers are far worse than I expected Voters have obviously looked at his age General conduct in office
Starting point is 00:13:56 His botched withdrawal from Afghanistan The situation on the southern border And decided that, in their view That qualifies him to be the worst president in history And that's the position in which he leaves office From the man who beat Trump. Bullshit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:08 To the man who is fundamentally broken, pardoning his son and destroying his party on the way out. Senior Democrats blame his handling of the election and his endorsement of Kamala Harris. The funniest stories, man, I cannot wait for all this news to come out. I cannot wait for all of it to come out. According to multiple reports,
Starting point is 00:14:34 Joe Biden was not supposed to come out and just endorse Kamala Harris. That's what everyone's screaming about now in their after-action autopsy podcasts, right? So everyone's doing the autopsy of the 2024 election. And they're like, why was Kamala such a horrendous candidate? Well, Joe Biden had himself a little trick up his sleeve. When Joe Biden was forced out, he was so pissed about it that he immediately jumped in to endorse Kamala, knowing, of course, that she is a low IQ, insufferable, nightmarish DEI disaster. He did this as a massive F off to the Democrat Party, dooming the Democrat Party.
Starting point is 00:15:17 Did Kamala Harris do better than Joe Biden would have done? What a question, chat. What a question. I know we already have a poll pinned. What a question. The poll, ladies and gentlemen. Let's see. Let's see here. What should Cash Patel's first act as FBI director? Release the Diddy List, release the Epstein List, release the declassified JFK files, declassify UFO files. Oh, man, that's a tough one, boys. What do you think? That's a tough one. Look at you think that's a tough one look at this here's the poll right now what do you think oh the epstein list going in strong the reason why these polls are important is because we listen to you we freaking love you we care about you we're doing everything on this program for you because we are you i'm just like a dude who went to community college
Starting point is 00:16:00 killer klein's just like a guy who was like doing jujitsu and like wanted to save his country. That's right. He just likes fighting people. ALX was a butcher, okay? He was an actual butcher. Yeah, and yeah. And yeah, and Danny was just a lowly French lord in his chateau, twisting his mustache, and hand-rolling his cigarette that he would smoke out of a very long golden, one of those long golden Cruella de Vil things. Yeah. So anyway, we were just normal people living our normal lives. Okay. This is, this is very clear. Is
Starting point is 00:16:37 this brand new? Okay, here we go. Brand new 2000 votes. Everyone wants the Epstein list. Keep the votes coming in. Keep the votes coming in. Can we put the same poll up on X, please? Right now, we'll put the poll up where we are allowed to put polls. Some sites don't have integration for the poll. This poll is currently on YouTube. Okay. Man, look at you. Look at you, chat. You love the release of the Epstein list. Good for you. Tend to agree. Tend to agree. Okay, so let's move on to Cash Patel getting nominated and getting confirmed because this is very, very important and we have won. President-elect Donald Trump reaffirmed support for Pete Hegseth post-article blasting attacks. Oh yeah, baby. Here's Donald Trump's message about Pete Hegseth that published
Starting point is 00:17:26 right at time of show. Okay. So just a, just a few minutes ago. Thank you, Mr. President. Like you, we will never back down. Pete Hegseth is doing very well. His support is strong and deep, much more so than the fake news. Would have you believe he's a great student, Princeton, Harvard educated with military state of mind. He will be fantastic. High energy Secretary of Defense. One who leads with character and skill. Pete is a winner. And there is nothing that can be done to change that. Now, this is very interesting. It turns out that Ron DeSantis is going to be with Donald Trump
Starting point is 00:17:57 at the Army-Navy game. That happens next weekend. Will Pete Hegseth be there as well? He should be. There were rumors, according to Wall Street Journal Post, not our show, but it is our obligation to report to you the news, that Donald Trump was considering a switcheroo. Ladies and gentlemen, that has apparently, the switch is actually on the people who are trying to torpedo Pete Hegseth.
Starting point is 00:18:26 According to Matt Boyle, Bright Park News, several Senate sources have told me last night and in the morning that Pete Hegseth really, really turned a corner in the last few days. They expect him to win confirmation in the chamber. This comes after Joni Ernst signaled that she supports advancing his nomination to the confirmation hearing, and she said last night that she believes that this should happen. As many other senators like Mike Rounds and Kevin Cramer, who those guys are super squishy,
Starting point is 00:18:49 right? Very round Mike Rounds, have signaled that their support moving forward, Pete Hegseth is showing he's winning over people who have criticized him. Basically impossible to see a change happening after a confirmation hearing, which would presumably happen in mid-January because the SECTAF is usually one, if not the first, confirmation votes that happen right after inauguration, literally on January 20. So Pete seems to be out of the woods now, and the momentum is on his side, especially as Trump himself, J.D. Vance, among others, have tripled down on his support for the nomination. Alex, we got that cool J.D. Vance post from today. I'm sure we do. Do we got it? Okay. Let's pop it up. And if we have that, if we have this video, I'd like to share it because
Starting point is 00:19:34 as you can see here, this was posted right when we went live today. And I think it's very, very instructive. J.D. Vance is himself a combat veteran. He served in the same fields of battle as Pete Hegseth. So if you're thinking that like this decision was made haphazardly by President Trump, nope. A-L-X and I were at Mar-a-Lago watching J.D. Vance literally bring people in personally to the room that Donald Trump was sitting in with the advisors. And J.D. Vance is like making the case for these people personally. And this means something to warfighters, obviously. The Hegseth pick has got to come from J.D. Vance. And as based on every available piece of information I've gotten from Team Trump, from our phone calls, from our proximity to the team. This is a J.D. Vance push. And this man is like these guys who go off to war together. They're not there to betray
Starting point is 00:20:32 each other. All right. J.D. Vance this morning says that Bridge Kobe, who is the former DOD official who was on CNBC this morning, was saying the advise and consent power of the Senate is not a blanket veto authority. Who said that? We said that this week. This entire week, we've been banging that drum. This is, the advise and consent doesn't mean you are now the president.
Starting point is 00:21:01 Joni Ernst is now the president. That's what Joni Ernst thinks, which is insane. That's what these senators think. Mitch McConnell literally thinks he's a Senate. He thinks that he's president. It's delusional. It's sick, baby. They should go to the same hairstylist as Joe Biden. These people are out of their wigs. The problem at the Department of Defense is that we keep losing more procurement. Procurement is broken. The morale is low. We have recruitment crisis. Pete was nominated to fix this.
Starting point is 00:21:31 This is combat veteran J.D. Vance saying, I am the man behind the Pete Hegseth nomination. Ladies and gentlemen, let's listen to the interview that was so important that J.D. Vance put it up just moments ago and said, you must watch this. Pete Hegseth's been out there in the Senate making the case as well as on media. He's got a lot of allies coming out for him, vouching for him. I think my view is that, frankly, the president of the United States deserves a presumption that the people that he nominates, you know, should be should be those the ones who serve in those positions. I mean, I think we talked a little bit earlier. You know,
Starting point is 00:22:11 what are these pick me this pick mean or that pick mean? I think this is Donald Trump's agenda. It's putting Americans first. It's ending the forever wars, as he said. I don't start wars. I stop them. So I think that's the way I look at it in terms of how the Senate's going to react. You know, that's obviously sort of unpredictable. But I think Pete and others are making a very strong case for why he'd be an excellent secretary of defense. This assumption that it's the Senate's job suddenly to be president of the United States is insane. And also, this is, I think, something that is a moral question. If you look at, if you read your Bible and you look at the scriptures, and if you look at Western law,
Starting point is 00:23:02 you have a right to face your accuser. If you look at the foundations of the judicial principles, the bedrock of how the judicial systems are created in this country and that have sustained this nation, anonymous allegations smeared through the media that are pushed simply to destroy someone's chances to advance into a position that some of the most warped, wretched people in the world don't want them to be in. The defense contractors. Yes, I'm to be in. The defense contractors. Yes, I'm talking about you, the defense contractors. The people who've perpetuated forever war,
Starting point is 00:23:52 who've thrown our national debt into the meat grinder, who have pushed untold billions to Ukraine while potholes and bad pipes and bad infrastructure and crumbling neighborhoods remain in your town who don't give a damn about this country. And as the profitability and resources and treasure of this country, are mined from it
Starting point is 00:24:20 and brought into the suburbs of Virginia and the greater DMV area, is what it's called, around Washington, D.C. That is the true wealth transfer of a nation who can't afford to do it anymore. We can't afford these wars. We can't afford these policies. We can't afford the losses and humiliations in our media, in our military. And through our media, they are trying to destroy Pete Hegseth. It is a despicable tactic. It's the wrap-up smear.
Starting point is 00:24:55 We talked about it before. And no man or woman should ever have to go through this again. We should crush this tactic in the cradle. And this is what we are about. It's so much bigger than Hegseth and Cash, who are our boys. Okay? It's about the tactic. Hegseth has a right to face his accuser.
Starting point is 00:25:17 If you want to sue him, if you think he's actually a bad person, sue him. Take him to court. Bring it up. Be honorable enough to give the man a chance to stare down his accuser. The man went and carried a firearm and stared down the Taliban, ISIS, some of the worst forces on earth.
Starting point is 00:25:43 This is an assassination of someone's character based solely on anonymous sources. And what is our senators, what are our senators doing? Our senators are saying that F all of the Fox News hosts, some of the great people like Will Kane, some of the co-hosts, Rachel Campos Duffy, some of the people who served in war zones with Pete Hegseth, screw those people. They're on the record.
Starting point is 00:26:10 They're man enough to show their faces and explain why they support Pete Hegseth. We're going to go with the anonymous report from the people who hate us. It's sick. We have that video of Joni Ernst. We have that video of Joni Ernst. We have that video of Joni Ernst that went viral yesterday, talking about the talent of transgender troops.
Starting point is 00:26:33 It's important to note who the people who are standing against Pete Hegseth are and what their vision is for the military. And now people have been really digging into Joni Ernst and asking, wait a second, why is this lady, with her very, very sketchy history in the military herself, why is this lady so hard set against Pete Hegsa? We'll show you in just a moment, ladies and gentlemen. Pete Hegsa. We'll show you in just a moment, ladies and gentlemen. Pete Hegseth's lawyer now saying that he may sue for defamation. This is something that Kavanaugh didn't do. We are about the tactic. We will show you the tactics on this program. These tactics must be destroyed. Pete Hegseth's lawyer saying we're going to sue people who came
Starting point is 00:27:28 out against us and slandered a good man. Good. Where can I donate? Let's go. If he is not confirmed as the secretary of defense, we may still bring a civil extortion claim against her. If the false claims of somebody that was part of an extortion that was then put out in violation of a settlement agreement ultimately causes him to lose his future employment opportunities, then yes, that is something that is worth bringing a lawsuit against her and her friend and potentially even the attorney for, yes. He's threatening to bring a defamation suit, but also saying that she's free to talk. He says that the confidentiality agreement is not in effect anymore. So should we hear from her?
Starting point is 00:28:13 And why? And if we should, then I mean, why is he threatening her with a lawsuit if she speaks out? Well, because my imagination is, is that they believe she has made false allegations. And by the way, he's been he was investigated for this. The police looked at this. He's never faced any charges whatsoever over this. It's not uncommon for people to enter into these kind of agreements. But if she wants to come and testify, I don't think anybody should have a problem with it, because I assume Pete Hegseth, who's going to be under oath, is going to have a much different story into a lot of Republicans right now. Some of this is starting to feel a little
Starting point is 00:28:45 bit like the Kavanaugh confirmation hearing, where you have a lot of anonymous, a lot of innuendo, a lot of people using words like voluminous, and people sort of piling on here without really any substantive, on-the-record stuff to back it up. So what I would recommend is that he continue to fight for his own reputation, that we get to a hearing and we put everybody under oath, and then we see where the chips fall. He's got two fights. One is reputational. One is also, can you do the job? And so he's fighting a two-front battle in the Senate, and that's a real thing, and he needs to cross those lines. Of all the. What's he doing? What's he doing?
Starting point is 00:29:32 He's living through a flat circle of tactics. That these guys, the only tactics they are capable of. The JFK. They tried that on Trump. The Kavanaugh. You smear the guy. Out of existence. russiagate that's it those are the three tactics you call him a russian he's a russian stooge that's what they're doing to tulsi right now that these are this is it these are the only tactics this is the only playlist
Starting point is 00:29:59 they have three songs ding ding ding is the most boring Spotify playlist on earth. It's so sad. And Pete Hegseth is done with it. One of the greatest, one of the greatest like nuke fests I've seen on Capitol Hill of the reporter class in this country comes from a dude who had his own Fox show. So he knows how to manhandle these people. Yesterday, Pete Hegseth to the media
Starting point is 00:30:24 saying, I don't answer to you, scum. I answer the American people go. You are the issue of alcohol. Oh, we've had great conversations about who I am and what I believe. And frankly, the man I am today because of my faith in my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and my incredible wife, Jenny, right here. I'm a different man than I was years ago. And that's a redemption story that I think a lot of Americans appreciate. And I know from fellow vets that I've spent time with, they resonate with that as well. You fight, you go do tough things in tough places on behalf of your country. And sometimes that changes you
Starting point is 00:31:00 a little bit. And by the grace of God and my Lord and Savior, I had an opportunity to come on up out of it and do great things with great veterans organizations that fought for vets, that fought for reform at the VA and for war fighters, and at the Fox News Channel to advocate for those very same causes. And I'm proud of what I fought for. I'm not going to back down from them one bit. I will answer all of these senators' questions. But this will not be a process tried in the media. I don't answer to anyone in this group, none of you, not
Starting point is 00:31:29 to that camera at all. I answer to President Trump who received 76 million votes on behalf and a mandate for change. I answer to the 50, the 100 senators who are part of this process and those in the committee and I answer to my Lord and Savior and my wife and my family, I'm proud to be here. And as long as Donald Trump wants me in this fight, I'm going to be standing right here in this fight, fighting to bring our Pentagon back to what it needs to be. What has your conversation? Boom.
Starting point is 00:32:02 Boom. Good for you, man. I don't answer to you. I answer to the American people. I'm not scared about the press. It's a tactic. And it's a tactic that's backfiring now, ladies and gentlemen, because those who are pushing to get Pete out of the way are coming under scrutiny themselves. And instead of
Starting point is 00:32:29 anonymous slander and smears and character assassinations, we're just using their own clips against them. Here's a here's a post that I put up yesterday. Joni Ernst. ALX, can you send it? It's gone nuclear. And it's a clip of Joni Ernst explaining what her vision for the military is. Now, the reporting that we're hearing is that Joni Ernst is calling rabidly Mar-a-Lago, left day and night to try and get Pete Hegseth to drop out, screaming at Trump, saying, You gotta get him, you gotta get him, you got to get him. Now, why would Joni Ernst do that? Joni Ernst voted for
Starting point is 00:33:10 Lloyd Austin. She was proud to do it. She put up a tweet saying, boom, clap. I'm so proud to vote for Lloyd Austin. Well, it all starts making sense, ladies and gentlemen, when you listen to Joni Ernst's vision for the military. You want to talk about what a rhino is? You want to talk about what it looks like to be somebody totally and wholly captured? I don't know how it works. Senator Lee was on our program yesterday
Starting point is 00:33:41 talking about it. I don't know how it works. I don't know if it's blackmail. It probably is. It probably is blackmail from the intelligence agencies. It could be money also, bags of money from defense contractors, just boatloads of it. They can all donate to PACs, right? Unlimited amounts to support Joni. And if you don't say these certain things, if you don't push for these certain things in the military, then we're not going to back you. But I know what this is. I don't know how it happens for each individual member, but I know what eventually they become. Just like Joni Ernst's hair, they become a gray blob
Starting point is 00:34:27 that's hard to look at, that doesn't stand for anything, that simply reflects the current thing. No principle, no spine, no backbone, no gunpowder in your butt, gut, no convictions at all. Just a gray mass doing exactly what the true puppeteers want them to do. They become Muppets, NPCs you might call them, if you're into meme culture or gaming culture.
Starting point is 00:35:02 They're non-playable characters. And so here's Joni Ernst so stunning and brave so stunning so brave saying the current thing listen to her talk about how we need how how our military will be made so much stronger so with this with the with the with the new woke military brigade, thoroughly woke military brigades. Let's go. So the example of transgender people serving in our military, we have transgender people serving in our military. They will bleed red just as the rest of us. But I also take a stance that we should not be integrating transgender people into certain situations
Starting point is 00:35:49 where it does make, if you have a female barracks and you have a transgender woman who has not transitioned, we shouldn't make the rest of the unit uncomfortable about that setting. There are certain accommodations we can make for that transgender individual. But if they bring value to our unit, if they have specialties that we can use, especially if we want to maintain an all-volunteer force, we want to bring that talent into our
Starting point is 00:36:18 services. And I know that's controversial, but again, I'm looking at what's good for our nation. And believe me, when we're facing a recruiting challenge right now, if people are physically willing and able to serve our country, we want them to do so. That's a Republican. That's a high-ranking Republican. This posted 61,000 likes, 21,000 reposts, 8,000 comments. And every single comment was saying, Joni Ernst needs to be primaried. Joni Ernst is in a state, represents a state that was won by President Trump by 15 points. And she's treating our military as a woke social experiment inside of a liberal arts college. She should resign. She should resign. Honestly, like, so the damage that's been done to Joni Ernst is, uh, you can't put the genie back in the bottle on this one. You're done. Toothpaste
Starting point is 00:37:21 ain't going back in the tube. Joni Ernst is is gonna see a primary challenge. Just her putting up this catty front on Pete Hegseth. Like look at what she said about voting for Lloyd Austin. Oh, she's so excited to do it. Today I voted to confirm Lloyd Austin to be the next Secretary of Defense. Lloyd Austin will help prevent next Secretary of Defense. Lloyd Austin will help prevent factual fault in the military and serve our troops will curb wasteful spending. Oh, did he do that exactly? Can we get something from Joni Ernst on Lloyd?
Starting point is 00:37:57 It's there in the chat. It's there in the chat. Can we get something from Joni Ernst about the wasteful spending in the military? How's that going for you? Exactly. Posting on January 22nd, 2021. How's that going for you, Joni? Did you hold him accountable?
Starting point is 00:38:16 Can somebody check in on Joni holding accountable? The untold trillions that have been spent on the Pentagon over the last couple years? After she said the whole, they'd hold, can you show me where you've held Lloyd Austin accountable? They're so despicable. Joni Ernst posting about her meeting with Pete Hegseth, because Pete Hegseth is a man who wants to actually face his accusers and accusations head on. He walked into Joni Ernst's office and said, no, I'm going to take on these smears. You're not going to derail me. He met with her graciously. And then Joni Ernst puts up this pithy, catty, I met with Pete Hegseth. We had a little meeting.
Starting point is 00:39:06 It wasn't nice. You won't like it either. That's it. We had a frank and thorough conversation. Look at her. Look at the ratio. Look at the ratio. 16,000 comments.
Starting point is 00:39:24 2K repost. That's a insane, that's an 8 to 1 ratio. Why the hell are you trying to derail Hegseth's nomination? Think Trump's going to make you defense secretary? Not a chance, lady. This is what it's all about. It's all about. It's this
Starting point is 00:39:40 sick positioning for herself. It's grotesque. It's swamp rat, swamp rat behavior. And it is beneath anyone who represents the highly moral, upstanding, and honest state of Iowa. I love the state of Iowa. Ladies and gentlemen, on the show yesterday, Senator Lee said, nope, we're going to confirm him.
Starting point is 00:40:03 We're going to confirm him, lady, okay? You are not, this is not going to happen. The reason why, and it's so important. And the reason why we were going to bang the drums on this is we must kill the tactic. We love Pete. We love cash. We're after the tactic itself. We must destroy the structure and Trump giving in, not saying Trump's going to give into this, obviously they've run this playbook. They've run every playbook they have against Trump. And they've done some decimating damages, obviously. They did everything they could.
Starting point is 00:40:36 They ran the JFK playbook on Trump. They were this close. This, that, that close. Trump had to eat a bullet through the playbook. We want to kill the tactic because it'll be your kids next, my kids next, you next. It'll be all of us. They'll run, they can run this till kingdom come. You get something that they don't want you to have. They will go and they will smear you and they will destroy you.
Starting point is 00:41:06 None of it has to be true. All of it. Can be completely fictional. Like it was with Kavanaugh. None of that was not Kavanaugh's freaking school choir boy. Literally. None of the things they said against about Kavanaugh was were real. None of them.
Starting point is 00:41:26 So the lawyer's right to be out there threatening, being like, nope, we're going to destroy your life. Get ready. Get ready, lady. It's going to be awesome. It's good. We're going to break these tactics. We're going to break this system. Ladies and gentlemen, some of the important backers of Pete, Jim Banks backs Pete.
Starting point is 00:41:46 This was time of show yesterday. Jim Banks is awesome. Incoming senator from the state of Illinois. And so he he said yes, yes to Pete. Not sure if we have any other big announcements on on the Pete front. But we do have some big announcements from the cash front ladies and gentlemen making sure that we are uh cashing in here john cornyn known as one of the squishiest weakest most feeble members of uh all of congress who's betrayed the conservative base time and time again to serve his corporate masters inside of was, D.C., his swamp rat masters. John Cornyn says, yo, Cash is going to be confirmed. That is such a great sign for Cash Patel. Here we go. First of all, will Cash Patel be confirmed as I expect he will be? But you're the guy who knows.
Starting point is 00:42:38 What do you think? Yes, he will be. People I have great respect for, people like Trey Gowdy, have recommended him highly. I'm still looking to schedule a meeting with Cash, but I think, you know, certainly has the vast experience, including working on the House Intelligence Committee on the Russiagate scam and the Steele dossier scandal. So I look forward to meeting with him. I met with Pam Bondi the next. I love, I love this. Senators get in line. And guess who's advocating,
Starting point is 00:43:14 guess according to our sources, guess who's going into these meetings all across Capitol Hill with flying colors is Pam Bondi. Pam Bondi is going to probably get like 20 Democrats to vote for her. That's a matter of fact. Pam Bondi is going to probably get like 20 Democrats to vote for her. That's a matter of fact. Pam Bondi is going to win like 70-30 in Senate confirmations. Pam Bondi is a freaking bombshell nominee for AG. And I'm really happy about it. Matt Gaetz seems happy
Starting point is 00:43:39 about it. Yo, Matt Gaetz is like living the life right now. So I, you know, what can you say? What can you say? Matt Gaetz will serve in an awesome capacity. Maybe he'll be special counsel. That'd be great. Appoint Matt Gaetz, special counsel, to go investigate the election fraud of 2020. Maybe to go investigate what they did in Jack Smith's office. Oh baby, you better be printing those pardon machines fast and as quickly as possible. The pardon machine is going to be melted down by the time Trump gets to D.C. Ted Cruz supports cash. Ted Cruz out yesterday being like, yo, no cash is the man. Let's go. Well, listen, I'll say a couple of things. Number one, if you look at Cash Patel's background,
Starting point is 00:44:22 he has been a senior intelligence staffer on Capitol Hill. He's been a senior intelligence staffer in the White House. He has been the chief of staff at the Department of Defense. He's been the deputy director of national intelligence. He's someone with deep background in addition to being a federal public defender and also a prosecutor. So he brings a deep background to the job. But secondly, I will say the world and in particular, the FBI and the Department of Justice are very, very different today than they were back in 2020 when Bill Barr was attorney general. And what we've seen for four years,
Starting point is 00:44:57 tragically, has been the politicization and the weaponization of the Department of Justice and the FBI. And much of the criticism that is being directed at Kash Patel is not that he's not qualified for the job, but rather exactly the opposite, is that his detractors are afraid he will actually do what he is committed to doing, which is to clean out the political corruption that sadly has done real damage to the FBI. Hell yes, baby. So freaking awesome. Robert O'Brien backs Cash. Robert O'Brien is one of these deeply respected national security, NATSEC and defense officials. He is someone who worked with Kash Patel, and he carries an enormous amount of weight in this field. Former national security advisor. Done pretty much every job there is in national security.
Starting point is 00:45:53 Robert O'Brien back. Kash Patel is right for the FBI. The National Police Association backs Kash only. So awesome. Check this out. National Police Association endorses Kash Patel. Come on, dude. You can't get better than that. Oh yeah, you actually can. You can have discredited FBI agents panicking live on air on CNN, screaming and crying about how the FBI corrupt layer of bureaucracy is panicking. The FBI agents are celebrating. We have FBI agents on the show all the time. Former. They're celebrating. Here we go. Meanwhile, at the FBI, agents are gearing up for a big clash with cash. Mr. Patel, Trump's pick for director, says he wants to turn the Hoover building into a museum for the deep state. And it's not going over very well.
Starting point is 00:46:51 I talked to a number of executives at headquarters who are absolutely, have already polished off their resume as soon as Trump was named as winner of the election and are out there actively pursuing other careers. Their chief concern and what they're going to be keenly looking for, and we should all be looking for as well, is the degree to which a Patel in that position is going to impact the field offices. A clash is going to occur rather immediately. It's going to occur almost immediately. It's going to occur almost
Starting point is 00:47:25 immediately. And again, this desire to do away with civil service protections, I'm sure the Agents Association and other law firms are ready to go on challenging that. Self-deportation is the cheapest form of deportation. So it's happening right now. There are various island chains and various third world nations, like the Philippines, for instance, that are saying you better self-deport. Donald Trump's serious about this.
Starting point is 00:47:54 The president of the Philippines, I'm pretty sure I have that right, ALX. Make sure that you hit, make sure I'm hitting that right. The president of the Philippines is saying, if you're a criminal alien in America, they're serious. I've been in contact with their team. Come home now. It's better to self-deport. And that's what's happening right now with the criminal class across Washington, D.C.
Starting point is 00:48:16 You have Justice Department lawyers fleeing, running, according to Politico this morning, running to law firms to try and get representation. Jack Smith's team is begging white shoe lawyer law firms for six figure representation against what's about to happen because they know that they now have a new sheriff that's going to investigate true crimes. It's amazing. Like, you don't behave like this unless you are a criminal. It's human nature. Somebody comes up to your door or my door and says, how many bodies you got buried in your backyard?
Starting point is 00:48:58 I don't care who it is. The FBI, the police. I'm like, grab a shovel. This is going to be fun. Let's go. I've been meaning to till this. I would mean to till the soil anyway, right'm like, grab a shovel. This is going to be fun. Let's go. I've been meaning to till the soil. I would mean to till the soil anyway, right? Let's plant a new garden.
Starting point is 00:49:09 I don't care. There's no bodies buried in my backyard. But if you do that and you happen to actually do that to the serial killer with the bodies in the backyard, you're going to have a very different reaction. The guy's going to be running, sweating, and jumping fences. And this is what these people are doing. They're acting guilty. People like Dr. Fauci don't ask for a pardon without any criminal charges. They're desperate. They know there's going to be 50 years of MAGA. And they know that the rats are on their last, last little binge run on the ship. That's what we saw yesterday.
Starting point is 00:49:46 Amazing, amazing moment. A screaming match between director Ronald Rowe, we call him lovingly director Lunkhead, at the Secret Service, a guy who shouldn't have a job at the Secret Service because he is a fraud. And he was called out on his fraudulence. Here's what happened.
Starting point is 00:50:07 Texas Rep. Pat Fallon put up a photo of Lunkhead trying to squeeze in in order to position himself between Joe Biden and Donald Trump to show that he's in charge. But that's not the position he was supposed to be. He was the special agent in charge during a September 11th ceremony. And this is not the correct position for him to be in, given the guidebook of the Secret Service. He was doing it for the photo op. This is how cretinous these public bureaucrats are. He was doing it in order to try and position himself for a job. Trump was just shot in the head. And this guy's trying to like get his picture taken, trying to like squeeze in there. Oh man, I've lived in DC. I've worked in DC. This is exactly how all these people are. It's grotesque. And then the guy snaps and loses his damn mind. Watch this. Recognize this photo?
Starting point is 00:51:14 Yes, sir, I do. Okay. Is that a remembrance of September 11th? It was. Was it in New York? It was at ground zero. Okay. Who is usually at an event like this closest to the president of the united states security wise the sack of the detail special agent in charge of the detail were you the special agent in charge of the detail that day actually let me address this could you please staff leave that oh no leave that one up with the circle around me thank you so actually congressman what you're not seeing is the sack of the detail off out of the picture's view and that is the day where we remember the more than 3 000 people that have died on 9 11 i actually responded to ground zero i was there going through the ashes of the
Starting point is 00:52:01 world trade center i was there at fresh kills i'm not asking you that i'm asking you congressman to show respect for a secret service member that died on 9-11 that you're trying to be do not invoke 9-11 for political purposes oh i'm not i'm invoking this you are sir i would like to ask him a question. Please. You are out of line, Congressman. Don't try to bully me. Order. I am an elected member of Congress, and I'm asking you a serious question, and you are playing politics. And I am a public servant who has served this nation and spent time on our day, on our country's darkest day. Mr. Chairman, he will not politicize it.
Starting point is 00:52:40 The committee will come to order. I'm asking you serious questions for the American people, and they're very simple. They're not true questions. Were you the special agent in charge that day? No, I wasn't. I was questions for the American people and they're very simple, they're not true questions were you the special agent in charge that day? No I wasn't, I was there representing the United States Secret Service and did not affect protective operations
Starting point is 00:52:54 because you wanted to be visible because you were auditioning for this job I was there to pay respect for a foreign member of this agency you are out of line Vice President Harris' life because agency. You are out of line, Congressman. You are out of line. You are out of line. Because you put those agents out of position. Mr. Chairman.
Starting point is 00:53:08 Did you have a radio with you? Mr. Fallon, you're just a weapon. I did, sir, and you are out of line. Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman. Yes, sir. Please.
Starting point is 00:53:20 All right. We are back in order now. We are back in order now. Thank you. Oh, man. All right. I can't wait to talk to Jim Jordan about this. The amount of psychological breakdown that happened there,
Starting point is 00:53:43 you wouldn't want that guy running a Chick-fil-A. Talk about your spicy chicken sandwich. Instead, he's running a multi-billion dollar protection operation for the president of the United States, which is arguably one of the hardest jobs in the world because four presidents have been shot and killed while serving in office.
Starting point is 00:54:01 Did you know that? Do you know that eight presidents have been shot while in office or running for office? President Trump was just shot a couple months ago. And you have hothead, lunkhead, screaming his brains out, showing a complete lack of stoicism and composure and champion ethos. Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now. No? Okay. All right, hold. All right, hold on just a second.
Starting point is 00:54:32 I hear that we're testing. All right, all right. This is bad. You don't want it. Jim Jordan is here, ladies and gentlemen, but we're going to reconnect for just a second. You don't want people like that to be anywhere. Walking your dogs.
Starting point is 00:54:50 You don't want people who like hair trigger. It says bad things about you. When you have individuals who can't control themselves, that's too much estrogen. That's feline in nature. It's psychotic. It's unhinged. And it's unhealthy.
Starting point is 00:55:17 It's not. Let's try this again. Champion ethos. Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now is somebody who knows what it's like to go to battle and be a champion, who knows what it's like to win, and knows what it's like to be deeply under control, especially in very intense environments.
Starting point is 00:55:38 You've seen him do this as chairman of the judiciary. You've seen him do this in Congress, dealing with witnesses like that, and far worse, I would say. The great chairman, Jim Jordan, joins us live now. Welcome back. And Mary, good to be with you, Ben. Yeah, you too. You too, Benny. So you had the secretary of, well, the acting director of the Secret Service sitting there screaming his brains out
Starting point is 00:56:12 over what I, and I watched the entire 20-minute line of questioning. It seems like a very rational line of questioning. You weren't where you're supposed to be. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:22 This isn't where an act, this isn't where the special agent in charge stands. And he got so angry about being called out on it. It seems utterly disqualifying for this position. Your take on that? Well, yeah, and you couple all that, you couple his reaction with how the Secret Service failed to handle protecting President Trump there in Butler, Pennsylvania. And then remember what happened in the aftermath of that. Right afterwards, there was questions. And the Secret Service then, Ms. Cheadle said, well, there was the spokesperson for the Secret
Starting point is 00:56:58 Service said, there was never a time where we didn't give the resources to President Trump that his security detail requested. And then five days later, they said, well, actually, there were times where he requested things that we didn't grant that request. So they lied to us. Not only did they didn't get the job done there in Butler, Pennsylvania, and anyone, you don't have to be in law enforcement to recognize that, but they lied to us about what took place prior to that when his detail was asking for more resource and didn't give it. So you got that as the backdrop. And then you have his reaction here from our colleague, Congressman Fallon's questions. Again, I think it just shows why we need someone probably better there running that that important, critically important organization.
Starting point is 00:57:47 Would you be in favor of a would you be would you vote in favor of a Dan Bongino for that role? Well, I don't get a vote, but I think Dan would be great. I really do. You get a vote. You're Jim Jordan. We know you get a vote. Right. Well, well, you know, this this would be something that I I assume there's the Secret Service. Does that go to it? I don't know if that goes in front of the Senate or not. It's like certain certain heads do, of course, obviously certain cabinet positions. Some don't. Some do. But I think he'd be great. Yeah, I think I think Bongino would be I think it'd be an antibody reaction to the system.
Starting point is 00:58:27 I think there'd be so disruption, so much disruption by just the pick itself that you would have the bad actors self-deport. Now, this is something that Dan Scavino posted about yesterday. He was saying that little birdies tell him that they are entrenching Biden people inside of the Secret Service, which seems like very scary
Starting point is 00:58:46 to me. I have been looking through for more reporting on that. And it seems like something that's happening across the federal government right now, where massive contracts are being signed, where enormous amounts of money is being spent and wasted. And there's been a lot of bureaucrats trying to entrench and protect themselves. How do we uproot that system? Since that's clearly not what the American people want or voted for. Well, you do exactly what President Trump's doing. You nominate people who are going to head these agencies who come from the fundamental perspective that says the agencies serve the taxpayer. They serve the commander in chief, the president, because he's
Starting point is 00:59:25 head of the executive branch. They're not supposed to be weaponized against we the people. So I mean, that is why I'm so encouraged by what the people said on election day. I think they voted for a whole new attitude about our government. And then President Trump, of course, is putting people forward who represent that attitude. I mean, Tulsi Gabbard, she's with us on Pfizer reform. I want her to get confirmed. RFK Jr. is with us on protecting liberty and freedom. I mean, Dan Bongino at the Secret Service would be with us on the change that needed to take place there and the focus of the mission of that critical agency. So all these people like Kash Patel at the FBI, but for Cash Patel, Benny, you know this, we don't learn that the Clinton campaign paid the law firm Perkins Coie, who hired
Starting point is 01:00:13 Fusion GPS, who hired a foreigner, Christopher Steele, who put together a fake document, false document that became the basis to go spy on a presidential campaign. We don't know that, but for Devin Nunes and Kash Patel, when Devin was chairman and Kash was working as a top staffer for Chairman Nunes on that committee, and that allowed us then to go talk about what was going on there and expose how ridiculous this was. So it's all about having the right people in these key positions and the attitude they bring to that respective agency. How much easier would your job be, oversight, if Kash Patel was in charge of the FBI? Well, yeah, I mean, we did a thousand letters this Congress, over a hundred subpoenas. I probably did more subpoenas than the rest of Congress combined. And I wasn't trying, I mean, I don't
Starting point is 01:00:56 necessarily like doing subpoenas. We're just trying to get the information, the facts, so we can do our job that the Constitution requires, which is oversight of the executive branch. It's a lot nicer when you can call up Kash Patel and Pam Bondi and say, hey, what happened here? Can you get it? That is so much better than having to go through this fight with subpoenas and letters back and forth so you establish the record in case you have to go to court and on and on it goes. It is so much better when you got someone there who shares the perspective that we're supposed to be protecting American liberty and the FBI is an example and going after bad guys, not this political nature that we've seen from the Biden-Harris administration. You are going after some bad
Starting point is 01:01:35 guys. You don't have to say it like that. We certainly will. You've made news this week. Jim Jordan gives Fannie Willis a deadline to hand over documents in Trump investigation probe. This is the last remaining bit of lawfare breaking news at time of show, Mr. Chairman, is that John Fetterman is now saying dump all Trump lawfare. It was all politicized. So a pretty remarkable sea change. It must be great to have been right because you've been banging your fist on the table till it breaks saying this for years. And man, now it seems like Fannie's over a barrel.
Starting point is 01:02:11 Well, I mean, there was a FOIA request where the court said that she had to turn over information. We've been asking for that information. We think we should get the same information that the judge said that they needed to deal with there. But I think it's interesting that you have Mr. Senator Fetterman saying what he's saying on these four cases, which we knew were political. We knew they were lawfare, Bonnie Willis, Alvin Bragg, and of course, Jack Smith. And they're going away, thank goodness.
Starting point is 01:02:36 Certainly Jack Smith's going away. And I think it's interesting because they were told all along, oh no, this was legit from the Democrats. And the Democrats also told us that our impeachment is ridiculous. But if it was ridiculous, why did Joe Biden just pardon Hunter Biden for the very things that we were inquiring about for goodness sake? So, you know, I guess only Democrats can, can, can argue all sides of things and do the crazy things they do. We've never seen a president pardon people who haven't been charged with a crime or aren't even, as far as we know, being investigated for
Starting point is 01:03:08 a crime. Yet here we go with Anthony Fauci, but a number of other people, a list that may extend into the hundreds, if not thousands, if reporting is to be believed. What does this tell you, Mr. Chairman? I think it's, I mean, remember they criticized because supposedly, and I don't know that they did this, but supposedly there were some of our colleagues who asked for pardons. I don't think they necessarily did. But the Democrats went crazy and there weren't any pardons graded there, but now they're asking for Liz Cheney, Fauci, and I don't know who all else. And then you look at the pardon he did on Sunday. I mean, it was for 10 years and 11 months. And it was for the not just the crimes he's been charged with, but any potential crime that he may have committed, committed clear back to 2014.
Starting point is 01:03:53 I mean, January 1st, 2014 to December 1st, 2024, 10 years and 11 months, a blanket pardon. And now they're trying to do that for other folks. That just makes no, when President Trump has never, there's never been any retribution mindset with President Trump. Did he go after Hillary Clinton after she coordinated this effort to spy on his campaign and with Jim Comey did the, took the fake stuff to the FISA court to get the warrant? No, he didn't. So I don't know. I just, again, Democrats being Democrats, I guess. It seems just absolutely, it seems totally out of our depth, like how anyone could see the Democrat Party as anything other than a Ponzi scheme at this point to enrich elites and then to bail them out of prison when they do crimes. This just seems to be a mask off moment. And Joe Biden is just exposing the system for what off moment. And Joe Biden is just exposing
Starting point is 01:04:45 the system for what it is. And so much is being exposed. I don't know if you met with Doge yesterday, but I know that Elon Musk and Vivek were on the Hill. Did you? I met with Elon before the conference. And then, of course, I was at most of the conference where both Mr. Musk and Mr. Ramaswamy talked to our members and members asked questions and had a good dialogue. How did that go? And can you give us some insights into what's going to happen next? I thought, great. I mean, I just think you step back and say, here are two really sharp guys, very successful guys, love this great country of ours, and want the government to actually work for we the people. And they're looking to reduce expenses, but not just save money, but but but help the economy by saying we don't need all some of some of the crazy regulations we put on the entrepreneurs and job creators in our in our economy.
Starting point is 01:05:32 And maybe the baby just as important. They actually want the people who do work for the government to come to work. Imagine that you had to go to work like most so much of the government in the bureaucracy. They work remotely. It's all zoom it in and all that stuff i guess and remote work like what you want everyone knows you want to be really productive you want to be efficient you got to get to work so i think those kind of three kind of thrust are are what they're what they're focused on and i look forward to what they um what what what the report they bring forward or the recommendations they bring forward us then uh getting a chance to implement them i'm not sure if this was asked yesterday, but you obviously are one of the most senior and well-known members of Congress, if not the most well-known, and you've done some of the
Starting point is 01:06:15 best work. And so if you were to tell Elon and Vivek where to start, where would you start? Well, think about this just in a broad sense. The FBI's budget is close to $12 billion. More than half of that is devoted to intel and counterintel. I mean, really? I mean, that seems like a lot of money for surveillance and intelligence. And I understand that, you know, after 9-11, there was sort of a change of focus. But most Americans believe the FBI is out there catching the traditional bad guys, the gangs, the organized crime, the money laundering, the stuff. That's what most Americans think they should be focused on. And I think there are lots of great agents who are doing that. But when you look at the budget and the personnel, more than 50%
Starting point is 01:06:59 aren't devoted to what we traditionally think the FBI does. Maybe there's some changes that need to happen there that are better for the country, better for our liberties and our freedoms. This is why I'm so excited, Benny, about Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel, because they're with us when it comes to the Pfizer reform that needs to take place.
Starting point is 01:07:19 Remember, we lost that amendment. I know I talked about it on your show. We lost that amendment to require a warrant before you can go search what I call the giant haystack of information that the government has. You're going to use Benny Johnson's name, phone number, email address to search that. Guess what? The way our Constitution works, best Constitution ever, best country ever, is you got to go to a separate, equal branch of government and get a probable cause warrant to go get information on an American citizen. And that we lost that vote to-12, 2-12. It was one of the things we were pushing for.
Starting point is 01:07:48 So I know Tulsi and Cash are with us on that kind of reform that I think needs to happen to protect liberty. So that's where I think we got to focus as well. We had an FBI whistleblower on the show earlier saying that they've opened a counter Intel operation on Cash Patel and that the FBI is going, at least the leadership of the FBI is going to try and do everything in their power to prevent Kash Patel from getting confirmed. Now it's the Senate who will vote to confirm. What's your
Starting point is 01:08:17 message to senators that may not, you know, maybe squishy on him or Hegseth? And more importantly, how sick is it that the FBI would be actively operating against the will of the president to be president elect and the will of 77 million Americans? Well, remember, we saw this in 2017. Remember when Sally Yates criticized the president's decision when it came to his his ban on people coming from certain countries, he had the number three. I think she was number three in justice. I mean, like what you what? That's not how this thing operates. So, yeah, that's that's troubling. I would go back to what I said before. We would not have learned.
Starting point is 01:08:59 Kash Patel wrote the memo that from Chairman Nunes, Kash Patel put that together, which described what took place in 2016 with the Comey FBI when they went to the FISA court with false information. Kevin Clinesmith, who changed an email to go back to the FISA court, found guilty of changing an email to get something done at the court. But for Kash Patel and the good work that Devin did as chairman, we don't learn that. That was critical information that it's good the country got that information. Kash Patel was the key figure in there. I want him to be the next director of the FBI. Excellent.
Starting point is 01:09:36 I love it. Our question up for the audience, and we'll close with this. What's your first D-class that you asked from Kash? We know that you know him very well. We know that you're probably going to be the first guy that gets a meeting at the FBI. You're, you're going to be the first guy to walk in the office with cash.
Starting point is 01:09:51 You sit down with them. You both light a cigar. And what's the first thing you asked for declassification? I mean, I mean, think about it. We had an, we had a justice department that said moms and dads at school board
Starting point is 01:10:02 meetings need to be investigated. I want to know all about that. Anything we're missing on that one. We had a memorandum at the Richmond field office that said, if you're a pro-life Catholic, you're an extremist, you need to be investigated. I want to know how that happened. And then frankly, I would like to ask, and this, my guess is your viewers and listeners and your audience would like to know who planted the pipe bombs on January 6th. Why don't we know that? Who leaked the Dobbs opinion and who put cocaine at the White House? Why don't we know those things? Those are just kind of common things that we think you'd think we would have figured out by now. So those are just, you know, a few off the top of my head. Off the top of your head. Okay. Who's got
Starting point is 01:10:38 DNA? They found the DNA on the cocaine and then they destroy it, right? It's like, it really is remarkable. What's the, What's the poll at here? What's the poll at? We have released the Diddy List, released the Epstein List, released the JFK file. The Epstein List is winning pretty significantly right now, Congressman. So the listeners, the viewers want the Epstein List first.
Starting point is 01:11:02 I mean, I totally understand that coming from your viewers. I kind of focused on the things that we deal with here in Congress so much. So that's why I went with those four or five, whatever I rattled off. That's right. Man, you'll release the Epstein list.
Starting point is 01:11:18 There's going to be some packed flights out of the country. There already are. From some of Joe Biden's best donors. It's funny how that works. Somebody who the only list you'll find him on is the most effective members of Congress in the country and also the list of national champions in collegiate wrestling, the great Jim Jordan, who's here. I really hope that we get to go to a national championship this year, Congressman. You can join me in the Big Tens. It's in Philly this year. It's in Philly, okay. Big Tins are back in-
Starting point is 01:11:50 In Evanston. Oh, yeah, they're back in Northwestern. Yeah, that's right. The Big Ten tournament's great, just like the NCAA tournament. That would be fun, man. We got to get the president back to the NCAA tournament finals. He was such a big hit when he went a couple years ago. And, you know, it was interesting. He stayed for all 10 matches, all 10 finals, Benny. I think we probably talked about this. And every single champion came over and shook his hand after their match was done. The wrestling community, as you know, I tell McCormick this. McCormick won that Senate race. Great guy. We campaigned with him. Dave's going to be a great senator. He won that race by like, what, 17,000 votes? And I think it was the wrestling. You know how strong Pennsylvania
Starting point is 01:12:29 High School wrestling is. And wrestling people are so pro-Trump, so Republican, conservative, working class, middle class people. I think it was the wrestling community that actually, in the end, pulled it out for McCormick because he won with such a tight margin. And we campaigned. We stopped at a few wrestling places along Lehigh and Pitt Johnstown, different places. So, uh, it's kind of funny how the wrestling world is, is, is involved in politics now. I mean, in wrestling world, sort of like, uh, sort of crosses over with UFC world. Yeah, totally. Like fighting and champion where we got some photos here. You were here. Were you here? Are
Starting point is 01:13:05 we going to find some pictures of you there? Uh, no, I wasn't at the last UFC fight. Uh, this is, uh, I'm not sure if you can see the screen. This is the NCAA. Uh, this is the NCAAs. I've been to several. I haven't been to the last, last few, but, um, okay. I see Mark Wayne Mullen. Yeah, that was one in Tulsa. Uh, when he, when he went one in Tulsa when he went with Mark Wayne. And this year, it's going to be in Philly. And then next year, 26 is going to be in Cleveland.
Starting point is 01:13:31 It'll be back in Ohio. That's great. Look at these young wrestlers. I mean, everyone, we're showing every single young national champion taking a selfie running over to meet Trump.
Starting point is 01:13:41 It's so awesome. Yeah. It's so amazing. It's champion culture. Bro, when Penn State Wrestling, it hurts my little soul to meet Trump. It's so awesome. Yeah. It's so amazing. Such a champion culture, bro. When Penn state wrestling, it hurts my little soul to say it. I know. I know you're a Hawkeye. I didn't do it. Hawkeye should have done it. What's wrong with you? Penn state's good. Michigan's tough. Iowa's tough again. Iowa state, Ohio state's tough. I mean, some of the big 10, you know,
Starting point is 01:14:05 is good, but, um, yeah, Tom and Terry doing a great job, but, but Penn state, I don't know if anyone's going to beat him again this year.
Starting point is 01:14:11 Dude. And they all came up on stage and they endorsed him. I said, that's it. That's it. Call Pennsylvania. That's it. On our election night coverage.
Starting point is 01:14:17 I showed the photo. I said, Trump's going to win Pennsylvania. It's one of the first photos. I shot. Yeah. Funny. Isn't that funny?
Starting point is 01:14:22 Because of Penn state wrestling. Yeah. If you know, you know, uh, and this is a man who knows, please go follow Jim Jordan. a shot at asking a shot. Isn't that funny? Isn't that funny? Because of Penn State Wrestling. Yeah. If you know, you know. And this is a man who knows. Please go follow Jim Jordan. He's got millions and millions and millions of followers,
Starting point is 01:14:30 but man, he's got his work cut out for him. Here we go. Almost six million followers. You have twice as many followers as we do, Congressman. Goodness, we should be going on your show.
Starting point is 01:14:40 And to end here, here's the photo of Trump with the entire Penn State wrestling behind him. If you don't mind, Killer Klein, there it is right there. You have no idea how, if you know, you know, if you're from wrestling country and this was in Pennsylvania, very close to the, to happy Valley. You realize how, how powerful this is because this is, this is, this is what, this is what real men do during the winter watch wrestling all right thank you so much you bet have a great have a great week take care always got a nerd out yeah he's got a nerd out a little bit what do you want from me what do you
Starting point is 01:15:22 want me to run for senator against joni ernst you want me to run for Senator against Joni Ernst? You want me to do it? Should we start the exploratory committee live on the show? I am from Iowa. It is where I was raised. It is where I went to school. And there's nothing to do in Iowa other than watch wrestling.
Starting point is 01:15:34 Sorry. Talk to any Iowan, they'll tell you that. And we're pretty upset at Joni Ernst. And we do love wrestling. It is a culture. And now it's kind of going mainstream. Bo Nickel, right? He's pretty, pretty successful UFC fighter. A ton of like UFC fighters got big time wrestling
Starting point is 01:15:52 backgrounds and make some pretty, pretty deadly out there. Ladies and gentlemen, we we name dropped John Fetterman. We want to prove to you that, of course, this is true. We've never lied to you, but why not show you the clip? Here's Fetterman saying, dump all Trump prosecutions. Go. So, Senator, President Biden's decision to pardon his son Hunter is facing bipartisan backlash. Even the Democrats are all over it. But what do you think? Is this much ado about nothing? It is his son, after all. And people do have sympathy for that. But a lot of people are angry with him about it. What do you say? Oh, well, I think I think it's undeniable that the case against Hunter Biden was was really politically motivated. But I also think it's true that that the trial in New York for Trump, that was political as well, too.
Starting point is 01:16:46 And in both cases, I think a pardon is appropriate. And I really think collectively, you know, America's confidence in these kinds of institutions have been damaged by these kinds of cases. And we cannot allow these kinds of institutions to be weaponized against our political opponents. And it's very clear both trials were politically motivated and weaponized that on the other side. There you go. Thank you very much to News... What's the organization?

Want to get to this very quickly because, well, we finally know what Barron Trump's voice sounds like. So let me give the setup here and then Alex, just get me that newer clip of Barron Trump talking with Dana White. Oh, yeah. So here's the setup. Yeah, no problem. Here's the setup.
Starting point is 01:20:30 So nobody knows what Barron Trump sounds like, or at least not until a video was released of him talking as an adult a day ago. Barron Trump is seen in these adorable videos from the early aughts, right? And he's a young man. I think he's like five, six or seven. And he's doing what little kids do. And he's running around with this cute accent that is like a Melania Trump accent. Melania Trump's from Slovenia. And he has like sort of this Melania, this like Slovenian accent.
Starting point is 01:21:04 Because unlike Kamala Harris, who was raised in the leafy suburbs of Montreal if you listen to her and events like that only events like that if she's talking to a room full of white people she sounds totally different she sounds like a lot episode of Law and Order but only in rooms like that the foghorn leghorn comes out FanDuel Casino's exclusive live dealer studio has your chance at the number one feeling, winning, which beats even the 27th best feeling, saying I do.

Starting point is 01:22:09 I like my suitcase. Everyone is so fascinated with Barron. And as people may or may not know, he helped the president with his social media strategy and say, hey, you got to do some of these TikToks. You got to talk with some of these podcasts. What is the fascination with your son? We actually have a clip of a before and after of the evolution of beer. Let's play it. Hi, Larry. I like I like my suitcase. I have to go to school now. Yeah. How are you? Good. Good to see you. What do you think the evolution of your son?
Starting point is 01:22:50 He's a grown man now. He is a grown young man. I'm very proud of him about his knowledge, even about politics and giving an advice to his father. He brought in so many young people. He knows his generation because nowadays the young generation, they don't sit in front of TV anymore. They're all on the tablets, they're on the phones and all of these podcasts and streamers. He was very vocal and he gave an advice to his father and was incredible how he brought in a success because he knew exactly who his father needs to contact and to talk to. Isn't it shocking how fast he went from that little boy to the big man? What advice do you have for other moms?
Starting point is 01:23:42 Because I'll go back and I'll look at videos of my daughter when she was that age. And there's like a pain in my heart because I missed those years. What's your advice for all of us that your son's in college now, you've seen him grow up. How do you handle each stage? I think you need to be present and to be with them as much as you can, to be there as a teacher and a guide and give them guidance. I think it's the most important because years goes by so fast. We just don't imagine. It's like you, I see the clip that you just showed. I feel like it was like a few months ago right but the time goes so
Starting point is 01:24:25 fast time does go so very fast oh man the last four years it did it did fly by didn't it and it's so wonderful to see this family back in the white house now this uh i like my suitcase has turned into quite the tick tock trend. The commentary of I like my suitcase from Barron Trump has been turned into a banger. Now, you may not be aware of this. There's an entire ecosystem that has remixed commentary from Trump, commentary from Barron and turned it into. Like the club bangers. This has happened with Donald Trump's eating the cats and dogs.
Starting point is 01:25:13 When Trump said they're eating the cats and dogs, we have some super cuts of this. Let's get some of them loaded. Okay, we have one right here. This one's a, this one's very interesting. This is Dana White, who we know and love,
Starting point is 01:25:28 wheeling a girl around in a suitcase, singing the song. So here's just one example. Danny is sending others, but here's the song that they turned, from Barron Trump, that little clip of Barron Trump. Here's what they've done with it. I like my suitcase. I like my suitcase. I like my suitcase. Okay.
Starting point is 01:25:48 Danny, we gotta be faster with these, man. I'm not sure if this is the best example of this trend. This seems to be, this might perhaps be a better one. Let's load, let's load this up. Do we, is it really like people in a suitcase? Is that really the trend? My goodness, okay. Well, here we go. This is the internet for you an exciting place to work because you never know What's next? Here's the baron Trump

Starting point is 01:27:12 We monitor the chat all day and night. If you want to see the supercut of eating the dog, this is the banger. This is the old school banger. If you want us to do it, hold on. Let's stare at the chat right now. You want to see that. Do you want to see the eating the dogs, eating the cats, old school banger.

And thank you, chat, for advising us to do that. And they come up and i always say you know what we stopped them from eating the cats and dogs they say we did it we did it we won i said yes

They have to go back. We're so sorry. We don't know what you do at home. If you have to go back, you can eat the dogs and cats at home. But you're not going to do that here. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, that's what this vote did. And it's so exciting. Melania Trump says we're talking about dances. Let's talk Melania Trump talking about her husband's dance that has now become, you know, now become iconic. It's got to be so thoughtful. And we've heard him talk about, you know, by the grace of God, he is alive today.
Starting point is 01:30:27 What we have seen since he was elected and over the last couple of months is that calmness and maybe gratitude or whatever it is, but something else we've seen is he seems so kind of happy and loose because last night at the Patriot Awards, I think we got a clip. He was doing the Trump dance. And I'm sure I'm sure you've seen that evolve over the last as you look right there. How do you describe your husband's dance moves? Oh, this is very special and unique dance. It is, right? And I think a lot of people are copying it and everybody has fun with it. Yeah. Is this how you dance? No. Which part of the Trump dance, did you give him any tips? Like in the beginning, it was low, and then it was up high, and now there's a golf swing. Nope, he's coming all on his own. Have you ever done the Trump dance? You are Mrs. Trump.
Starting point is 01:31:08 I did not. So I guess you're not gonna start today. Donald Trump will get a official Benny show ornament on his Christmas tree when we go to Mar-a-Lago tomorrow. This will be the official ornament. We will place it on the tree at Mar-a-Lago. We will, ladies and gentlemen, conquer the Mar-a-Lago Christmas tree.
Starting point is 01:31:32 We'll ask permission, of course. We already asked permission. And ladies and gentlemen, we have all of your Christmas trees lined up. Killer Klein's getting them right now. You sent them in. We got them locked. we got them loaded and we're going to do rape my christmas tree but first we're going to do ask benny okay we're going to
Starting point is 01:31:50 rate my christmas tree we're going to ask benny and um give klein a second to add all of these all of these uh christmas trees that have been sent in because we have lots of them we're gonna do our best to get to every single we're do our best to get to every single one. Okay? If you sent us a tree, here's the last one, Klein. I've been sending them all to Killer Klein, and he's been doing his best to load them. There we go. Okay.
Starting point is 01:32:17 All right. All right. All right. Here we go. The Ask Benny Anything. Heather Pedersen says, do you know when they vote to confirm or not? When will the results be public? They vote to confirm as soon as President Trump is sworn in, sometimes the day of the inauguration, they start doing hearings.
Starting point is 01:32:37 Because you can't obviously do the hearings before you have a new president. The president starts, then his nominations start, and you get everything all lined up. So right after Donald Trump is sworn in on January 20. And so it's going to be an exciting ride. We're going to, of course, be there, unless I'm having a baby. In an insane twist of fate, that's my fourth child's due date. So not going to be missing that one. So we may be in the studio covering it, which would also, I mean, honestly, like this is our job. So maybe this is the place to be. We'll see. We'll see. Della Ramsey says, how did the email from Pete's mother in 2018 come out? My email doesn't go back that far. How was it obtained? Going through garbage now? Is this what the news
Starting point is 01:33:23 does? And this is very interesting. It is such a great question, Della. How do you go and get an email from nearly 10 years ago? How does the New York Times get access to a private email address of a Trump nominee's mom? How's that happen exactly? Anybody got an answer for me on that? Seems super sketchy. Seems very, very sketchy. The Times, this is in the script for my producers, the Times said Penelope Hegseth copied Samantha Hegseth,
Starting point is 01:34:01 Pete's second wife, on the message when it was set. The outlet received a copy from a person with, on the message when it was set. The outlet received a copy from a person with ties to the family. Scumbags. Scumbags. Dirty, dirty, dirty. Although it does seem a little more serious, doesn't it? Person with ties to the family. Oh, yeah. Oh, okay. Is that person the FBI? Because the FBI technically has ties to all of us as they spy on us. Got to put an end to it. Lynn says, hi, Benny. Biden able to pardon the people on the left who are now going to be hunted?
Starting point is 01:34:34 I'm thinking Liz Cheney, Jack Smith, Brennan, Hillary. Do they have to be arrested for crimes before they're pardoned, or can Biden pardon them preemptively? What a great question. This is a question that is currently being debated throughout the judicial ecosystem, and there are two trains of thought on this. One, the answer is no. You can't pardon somebody for crimes they haven't committed or haven't been charged with
Starting point is 01:35:01 because a pardon needs to be for a crime. I mean, if this is the rule, so let's say this is now the rule, then why doesn't every president, and they probably will, just go pardon himself and every person he ever knows for their entire life? Why not? If this is now the extendable rule. How about you extend the pardon through the rest of their life? So I don't know how long I'm going to live, but extend my pardon through 2050. Okay. So for the next 30 years, like put, give a part, give me freedom to do anything I want, break any law I want. And I'm going to say like, well, in what the courts are going to have to restrict this, the courts are going to have to come down and say, no, presidential pardon is just for admissible crimes that have been charged that you can point to on a court docket.
Starting point is 01:35:58 You can't just go and make it because you want to talk about two tiers of justice. This is how you create them. You create people that are utterly untouchable. Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden was set to, everyone's like, why did this pardon happen right now? Hunter Biden was set to be sentenced this week.
Starting point is 01:36:19 This was the sentencing week for Hunter. So how the hell, how do you charge people who haven't been charged with, how do you pardon people who haven't been charged with, how do you pardon people who haven't been charged with any crimes? Chicken or the egg. It doesn't make any sense. And the abuses are unlimited. So every president's going to just effectively leave office from now until eternity, pardoning themselves for life.
Starting point is 01:36:43 Bad system. Bad, bad, bad, bad system. Oh yeah, ladies and gentlemen, our verse of the day today from Proverbs. Love Proverbs.
