There are some remarkable things happening in the world today. Democrat Senator throws hissy fit, gets himself arrested. Thank God it's happening. Ladies and gentlemen, representative Annapolina Luna will join the show. Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis, Steve Hilton, and Nick Sartore from the parade route

with some tanks on the show today. My name is Benny Johnson and this is the Benny Show. We're gonna cook today because we have so much to get to and to talk about the world is changing and changing quickly. For the better, I don't know, I'll let you decide. It's very, very interesting take, but we have a principal's stance on this program. America first, America first.

Not our war, not our land, not our sand. I'm gonna put it on a shirt. Not our war, not our land, not our sand. I don't want American soldiers being shoved deep into the ground plotting for some other nation. I don't care if that's Ukraine or Israel. I don't care if it's Taiwan, doesn't matter to me. Not our war.

We could be reminded of the wise words of the greatest American general and the greatest American president, arguably, George Washington, who straight up said, like, the number one thing we must not do is get foreign entanglements. American soldiers killed, our treasury drained, these were his last wise words.

Actually some of his last words before he died. He declared that America must be a sovereign nation and must be rid of the demonic activity of the rest of the world. And so that is the principled stance on this program. And so with that, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to get to the news of World War III kicking off. It's actually quite interesting in the light of the dawn,

what happened yesterday in Iran. And it's very interesting the way that Trump is playing it, playing it much like a fiddle. It's very interesting and cracking some jokes. Wild. American first, ladies and gentlemen, American financing is what you should be using if you wish to get out of credit card debt.

They are longtime sponsors of the show and that's because we want the people on the show to be able to embrace the golden era, an era that of course gets destroyed by war. We don't want that. Inflation is cooling. Prices of gas and groceries, you may have noticed, is collapsing. Gas is actually...

The national gas average is as low as it was in 2021. We are finally getting back. The stock market and crypto markets are roaring. It is time to embrace the golden era. Let's not screw it up with more war and let's not screw it up with massive out of control spiraling credit card debt. 25% or more for these interest rates

should be totally criminal and illegal. Ladies and gentlemen, I don't want you trapped by credit card debt. Call my friends in American Financing today. They're saving customers an average of $800 per month. Get out of debt now, embrace the golden era, no upfront fees or pressure, it costs you nothing. You can get started today.

And President Trump at this press conference made a very strong statement about Iran and a very strong statement about what needed to happen in Iran that he did not want war.

He does not want military strikes. He does not want there to be open warfare. Open warfare in the Middle East has a tendency over the last hundred years to drag, last hundred years, over the last 30 years to drag, last hundred years, over the last 30 years to drag Americans in and to rob us of our greatest treasures. Okay, the sovereignty of our nation, our men and women in uniform.

And I'm sick of it. We all watched over 10,000 American soldiers die in Iraq and in Afghanistan. And for what exactly? I'm not trying to be disrespectful. We've just handed, we've handed those lands back to the terrorists. For what exactly?

For the dream of like bringing democracy? How'd that work out exactly? The fourth century terrorist goat army is now in control of Afghanistan. We've handed Bagram back to the terrorists and to the Chinese effectively. And we're pulling all of our people from our embassies, you know, embassies in Baghdad because it's so unsafe,

because the country is so unstable. No, these wars of adventurism have been total and complete failures. They've destroyed the future of so many young Americans. They've crippled our nation's and saddle us with uncontrollable debt. We don't want them enough. America first means actually deploying

the Marines to Los Angeles. Do you understand? Like, do you quite understand that? I want Marines in Los Angeles. I need Marines in Los Angeles. That's what the Marines are for, to protect America from foreign invaders, to protect our land,

not to protect somebody else's land, to protect our border, not the border of Ukraine, not the border of Israel, not the border of Gaza, whatever. You know, it's like a principled stance. It's very easy to be just like principally standing on these things. So again, I just want to ring the bell. I just want to ring the bell and say, that's what we believe. And I believe I speak on behalf of, I think a enormous number of Americans. Uh, 70% of Americans say they do not want America to be involved

in any more foreign wars. 70%. There's a huge portion of Americans that believe that Israel is too aggressive in the region. I think that's around 60%. And there is a massive preponderance of Americans, something like 90%, that says they do not want boots on the ground, American boots on the ground in foreign wars. OK, so not involved at all, no boots on the ground, and we are backing off the aggressors. All right, so that's what President Trump was saying

yesterday at the White House. This was hours before Israel bombed Iran. Here we go. Mr. President, how imminent is an Israeli strike on Iran? Well, I don't want to say imminent, but it looks like it's something that could very well happen. Look, it's very simple, not complicated.

Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Other than that, I want them to be successful. I want them to be tremendous. We'll help them be successful. We'll trade with them. We'll do whatever is necessary. You know, I stopped a war between India and Pakistan. And I stopped it with trade.

Nobody — I don't think I've ever seen a story written about it, but it was pretty cool. They were getting ready. Pakistan was now — it was their turn to hit and eventually they're going to go nuclear. And I stopped it. I called each, I respect each leader greatly and know them. And I spoke to them and President Trump going on saying, I stopped a war with Israel and Pakistan. That's in the general region of the world. I did it through trade. I want

Israel to pick up the phone and call Iran. I want Iran to call Israel. I want them to be at peace. I am a president of peace. It's not good for our economy. It's not good for anything that we're building right now. Things are going very nicely actually in the golden era. We don't want to plunge our nations into war

is what president Trump said. So don't bomb Iran, but Israel bombed Iran. And here's some of the footage of it that we were able to show last night. You can see small mushroom clout, you know, small little puffs of smoke right over Tehran. You can see some of the bombing runs. There were 200 Israeli fighter jets over strategic targets, six strategic targets, military and nuclear throughout Iran yesterday. The footage, while there are some buildings that are on fire and there are some buildings, there are some facilities that are up in flames, the footage is not particularly mind-blowing. What's mind-blowing is actually what happened in the morning, in the light of day,

where you can see that what occurred were precision strikes throughout Iran. These precision strikes were able to eliminate like single apartments. Check this out. Here you can see the apartment of an Iranian general. They were able to hit his bedroom. So, you know, this is why I give the buffer on the show about what my stance is on war. My stance on war is that we've been lied to for most of the histories of the last 250 years in our country, we've been lied to

about the justifiability of war. I don't think that we've been in many justifiable wars here as a country, quite frankly. Maybe the Revolutionary War. Like, okay, you know, I'm gonna have to think through every conflict. But there we've been we've been taught a lie about many wars and the people's history of our wars. And it's often, very often, the wars are never fought for our own country,

they're fought for someone else's country. That is a constant and it certainly has been throughout my life and I hate that. The lies are that we are on the side of the angels always and everybody else is a devil. When in reality war is often two demons fighting each other actually. And the, in reality, war is often two demons fighting each other, actually. And the holy stance here is peace.

And that is what I believe that President Trump wants, is what he's been advocating for. However, with that said, okay, again, with that said, this is impressive. Being able to like, being able to smoke an Iranian general, do we have like a run at, can you give me a rundown of everybody who died yesterday? Yeah, give me a rundown of everybody who died yesterday? Yeah, give me a rundown. Okay. So here we go.

We got secretary general of the Supreme nationals council, head of the Quds force, Iranian revolutionary commander, Iran's deputy chief of staff. Talk to any American soldier and then a bunch of nuclear scientists. And then they smoked some air fields. They smoked some, you know, batteries, defensive air batteries, and they smoked some airfields, they smoked some batteries, defensive air batteries, and they smoked some nuclear plants.

So I'm not here to advocate for war against these guys, but I will tell you if you know anybody who is a GWAT veteran, anybody who's a GWAT veteran who was maimed or who saw their Humvee blow up or who witnessed terrorism in Iraq or Afghanistan, and most of them did. Nine times out of 10, 99 times out of 100, the bomb was supplied by Iran.

The bomb was created in Iran and was deployed by Iran. There's a lot of these guys are bastards. And a lot of these guys were like thrilled when they could like maim or slaughter American soldiers when we were in the mid East. It's an ugly, ugly place. It's a hideous place. And it's not a place that I want our troops quite frankly,

because goblin monsters like this, can maim and harm them. And I don't ever want to see that again. So I don't, you know, like I'm certainly not saying these guys are the good guys. What I'm saying is it's like a freaking impressive that they were able to precision strike like this.

And how the hell does that happen? How are you able to smoke like single room in an apartment? You didn't even strike like the entire apartment. They just, they hit one room and killed the guy. And good God, that's wild. Well, here we go. I'm gonna talk about some, like just zoom out. I'm not asking you to be like,

I'm not asking you to be like the best friend of Iran or Israel, okay? I'm asking you to just look at this like on like a modern warfare, like playing table. This is freaking unbelievably impressive. Check this out. Israel built a secret drone operations facility inside of Iran.

What? So Israel built their own military base in Iran. Then they launched drones from the space in order to precision strike needle targets in order to kill specific human beings and enable to an attack like this. This would be an air defense system. I don't know exactly what type, but this is an air defense system in order to prevent fighter jets

from flying over your land. They smoked it. They're all gone. Iran now has 0% capacity to control its own airspace, which of course, you know, that means you're a collapsed nation. I'm not asking you to love one side or the other. What I'm telling you is that this is freaking unbelievably impressive and terrifying. You wonder why all of the you wonder why all of the inauguration was moved indoors. Like what's to stop a foreign country from doing this to us? It's crazy.

We were just like the were just with the special forces. It's like, you know, we're sitting there right around the special forces, like crazy, impressive what they're doing, but like a very cheap drone swarm, you know, could take out so much of like what we just saw with president Trump, like very cheap, like inexpensive $500 worth of drones. I mean, we're looking at, we were riding with the special forces. You're looking at millions of dollars pumped into our special forces soldiers and their equipment and their gear. And it's like a $50 drone could like do horrible damage. And we've seen that happen throughout the world, but we saw it happen in real time last night with precision strikes, killing particular single individuals,

probably bad guys, you know what I mean? Like they were maiming American soldiers and stuff like that. So, you know, F'd around, found out. But you know, again, that's wild. I've never seen anything like it. So Israel then puts up a video like this, bragging about how they built

and are operating drone attack facilities inside Iran. Whoa, I mean, whoa, freaking crazy, dude. Freaking crazy. So that's what's happening, struck, there was a bunch of Iranian generals that were inside of an underground bunker. 20 of Iranian senior commanders in the revolutionary guard meeting in a secret underground bunker,

and they were all killed in a single IDF strike. So Israel's out, obviously spiking the football, and there's been a lot of leaders killed. Okay, so what does President Trump have to say about this? You know, obviously spiking the football and there's been a lot of leaders killed. Okay. So what does president Trump have to say about this? President Trump and Marco Rubio are making the same response. They're saying something very specific. We weren't part of it.

We didn't help. We are not going to war. Now this is of course to placate the JD Vance, Tucker Carlson wing of the America First movement, a wing of which we find ourselves often ideologically locked in with saying no new wars please Mr. President. You like Trump ran on no new wars. Here we go. Statement from Marco Rubio. Israel's unilateral action tonight. We're in. Here's an interesting admission here. I've always been obsessed with Christmas. Now that I'm a father of four little children, my kids just love Christmas, magical time

of year. I've always wanted to create something in a Christmas theme. Never had the ability to do it until President Trump won the 2024 election. Then we used the electoral map to create a Christmas ornament and sold hundreds of thousands of them. It was wildly successful. I didn't know the first thing about making an ornament or selling it. The East commerce side was as complicated as the manufacturing side, but we were able to unite both pieces

and bring Christmas joy and a red Christmas to so many, making a dream come true for me. And it all happened with Shopify.

Not involved in any way. And the strikes in Iran, our top priority is protecting Americans. Thank you.

Thank you. Yes. Israel advised us they believe that this action was necessary in self-defense. President Trump and the administration taking all necessary steps to protect our forces and remain in close contact. We are protecting Americans.

The end. President Trump's first response to all this, I think very important. This is, man, kind of what Trump's been saying for a long time. Make the deal. All of this seems to hinge on a nuclear Iran. You don't want Iran to have a nuclear weapon. I don't want Iran to have a nuclear weapon. I don't want nuclear proliferation at all for these countries. That part of the scary part about India and Pakistan popping off is that they both have nukes.

And how quickly does that spiral? It's not good. A reminder that World War I are inarguably the most catastrophic war in human history. Period is World War I. In modern human history. World War II is just an extension of World War I. There was just a slight pause

and then the World War Two kicked off. It's the same thing. It's the same war, okay? World War One was started with a single bullet, a single shot from some dirt bag Marxist assassin from killing Franz Ferdinand. Like these little things, these little dumb actions can have ricochet effects on all these dumb people

and can then plunge all of Western civilization into like a circular firing slaughterhouse, which is what happened. So yes, I don't want Iran to have a nuke. Now there's Trump. Here we go. I gave Iran a chance after chance after chance to make a deal. I told them in the strongest words to just do it. Donald Trump taking a very Nike stance here.

Just do it. But no matter how hard they tried, no matter how close they got, they couldn't get a nuclear deal done. I told them that it would be much worse than anything that they knew anticipated or were told in the United States makes the best and most lethal military equipment by far. If you're impressed by what like Israel did, okay, so if you're just looking at this as like a warm-up and you're like impressed with these precision strikes, like building drone factories inside of your enemy's territory, which is

prima facie impressive, you like know that it's all American tech. Like know that this is all like run by America, like this is our stuff, all of this hours, all right? And then it's like, like I'm not saying that they're lying. I firmly believe our stuff, all of this ours. All right, and then it's like, I'm not saying that they're lying. I firmly believe that America had no part in this. You can see Trump's stance on this stuff. They probably, America probably had foreknowledge of it. Clearly Trump knew that something was brewing

and was about to pop off. He said it many times. But ladies and gentlemen, what he's saying here is make the deal. Nobody wants a nuclear Iran. Iran shouldn't want a nuclear Iran. Trump was saying, we'll make you rich. We'll trade with you. We'll take down all the barriers. We'll buy your damn oil, give up your stupid bomb and like you'll, we'll bring you into the fold. Remember the greatest days of all, remember the greatest days of all time. Can you grab me just really quickly,

my favorite photo ever, Donald Trump going into the DMZ. Just grab me, that Trump walking into the DMZ and bear hugging Kim Jong-un. This is my president. This is what you should want. This is what you should, like, should you want, do you want Trump to do this in Iran? I don't know.

You know what I mean? Like, I'm not sure. Maybe actually maybe. Do I want Trump to do this in Tehran? Yeah, maybe. Is North Korea? Is this what it is? This more shocking than Trump doing this in Tehran?

Yeah, it is. You want to why? Because Iran is not is not actively at war with America. You know, there's no peace deal signed in the Korean War. So we're technically at war here. Technically, on paper, we're still at war with North Korea. We fought a war. 55,000 Americans died in a war in North Korea. Should never happen, but whatever. This is unbelievable. So this is the dictator of a nation we're at war with welcoming Trump into his nation. You know how awesome that is? You know how incredible that is? You know how good this is for us? That's my president right there. Boom. That's my man. Okay. This is the, this is the Trump that we

want. Trump was trying to do the same posture with Iran. Dude, we will make you rich. We will, we will trade with you. We'll buy your freaking oil. We'll help you modernize. Give up your stupid nuke, give up the nuke and let's have stability in the world. And it'll be good. This is what this is the start of Trump's and I would love it. I'm telling you, I would love it. I love that Kim Jong-un like embraced all and like writes him love letters to this day hand writes him. Kim Jong-un sits there and like hand writes him I don't know if we have like No, let's not play like really annoying Korean music But like you like like to think you know, he's like writing love letters to Donald Trump. Okay, I think it's awesome

Okay, whatever, you know, I think it's freaking awesome. I Love that. That's what strength, peace through strength looks like. Look at him, he's crying, he's dreaming about Trump. Violin, can you hear the string music? So here we go. Iranian hardliners spoke bravely, but they didn't know what was about to happen. They're all dead.

And now it's gonna get worse. There's already been great death and destruction. It's time to make the slaughter. Next is already planned attacks. It was going to be more brutal. Iran must make a deal before there's nothing left. Just do it. No more death, no more destruction.

Do it before it's too late. Just do it. President Trump going full Nike. President Trump going full Nike, President Trump going full Nike on Iran. The Ayatollah has a response here saying, um, the Zionist regime is, uh, has prepared itself for a bitter, painful fate, which it will definitely see. Okay. You know, all right.

I don't want death and destruction. Now would be great time to make deal. I mean, according to all military mean, according to all military reports, according to all military reports, Iran has absolutely no air defenses left. And there's like, there's nothing from stopping like Israel from having total and complete air supremacy over their land. That is a bad position to be in.

You don't have the cards, as President Trump would say. Here's President Trump this morning on Bret Baer. And in just a moment, we'll have a spectacular lieutenant colonel who'll be joining the program to talk about all of this. Let's go. Hey, Trace. Yeah, I just spoke to President Trump. One thing, the president was aware of Israel's action before it happened.

There were no surprises here. But he gave me a quote. He said, Iran cannot have a nuclear bomb. We'll get back to the negotiating table. We'll see. There are several people in leadership in Iran that will not be coming back. Now, the president, I know, has spoken to Prime Minister Netanyahu several times in recent days.

As I mentioned before, the Trump administration reached out to a key Middle Eastern ally beforehand to acknowledge the strike was going to happen, but that the U.S. was not involved in the strike, but the goal still to get Iran back to the negotiating table. So is that it? Is this like, is this like the pain? Is this, is this the art of the deal? Is it the pain of negotiation with certain people that only understand pain killer clients

sitting here in the studio with me, like some people only understand pain. Sometimes sometimes a cocky fighter just has to be put down, you know, sometimes, sometimes like the blood, blood in the mouth, like is the only way to like humble someone. Right? Right? That this is how you, this is how you do it. So maybe they, maybe this is just the art of the deal. You know, again, there wasn't like, again, you can't find it. I'd show it to you if there was, there aren't like skyscrapers collapsing down, slaughtering hundreds of millions, you know. That didn't happen. It just didn't happen.

We'd show it to you. Look at us, everything's in flames, everything's like a nuclear bomb. It's not, this is not the case. It was precision strikes killing Iranian leadership. Donald Trump kind of making a joke about it actually. Get a load of this. This is Donald Trump speaking to CNN's Dana Bash

talking to her. And then at the very end, it's kind of like the same quote, but down at the last line down here, Dana Bash says, Donald Trump says, they need to come to the table. Iran needs to come to the table right now and make a deal before it's too late. It'll be too late for them.

You know, the people that we're dealing with are dead. The hardliners, they're all dead, says Donald Trump. Dana Bash asked, how did they die? Stupid. This is why you don't talk to CNN reporters. And then Donald Trump says, uh, well, they didn't die of the flu. They didn't die of COVID. Our president, ladies and gentlemen, as how did all the Iranian generals die?

They didn't die of COVID. Iran has retaliated with drone strikes and none of them made it to Israel. Iran sent a wave of a hundred suicide drones to Israel and no drones made it. So that's the, that's the, that's the break there. All right. Let's just hope it doesn't pop off. Please don't like start killing Americans or like attacking Americans, dude. Like, you know, don't do it. Finally, on this point, Iran has threatened America. We'll see what happens. Like, don't be dumb, right? Like, like negotiate your country will be rich.

Here's Iran threatening America. I hate to see it. In time, as Brett was saying, we now have a statement. This is Reuters. This is the IRGC statement. It says, quoting here, Israel will pay a heavy price for its attack on Iran, which killed Revolutionary Guard top commander, Hossein Salami. The guard said in a statement on Friday, warning of

a decisive retaliation against its sworn enemies. The Israeli attack was carried out with full knowledge and support of the wicked rulers in the White House and the terrorist US regime, the guard statement said. So clearly they are not focusing just on Israel. They are focusing on Washington, on the United States, which brings us up to the next category is will they go after US assets in the Middle East? We'll talk about that up next. Ladies and gentlemen, in times of breaking news, make sure you're locked in with Patriot Mobile.

Patriot Mobile is the cell phone company that keeps us connected. We will be at President Trump's military parade tomorrow in Washington DC. We'll be bringing you all of that news and a bunch of others. It's going to be awesome. I think we're going to be brought to keep doing the stream live from Trump Tower on Monday. Pretty cool.

Okay, ladies and gentlemen, speaking of somebody who's delivered awesome service to our nation, we are joined right now for the first time. It's our honor to have Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis, four time combat vet, retired from the US Army. He's also awarded a Bronze Star medal for valor.

And he's deployed a bunch of times to the Mideast. And he brings a lot of experience to this. Let's go. Let's go. Lieutenant Colonel Lissner, Lieutenant Colonel Lissner, Lieutenant Colonel Lissner, Lieutenant Colonel Lissner,

Lieutenant Colonel Lissner, Lieutenant Colonel Lissner, Lieutenant Colonel Lissner, Lieutenant Colonel Lissner, Lieutenant Colonel Lissner, Lieutenant Colonel Lissner, Lieutenant Colonel Lissner, Lieutenant Colonel Lissner, Lieutenant Colonel Lissner, Lieutenant Colonel Lissner, Lieutenant Colonel Lissner, Lieutenant Colonel Lisan, our honor to have you. Welcome back and what's your take on these attacks that popped off last night?

Well, listen, my concern is always, how does this affect the interest of the United States first and foremost? And right now we just don't know. There's so many things that could happen. I mean, you just showed on those clips a second ago that there's certainly been lots of threats from Iran that they could strike our troops. And this is one of the key reasons why I have been just pounding the desk since 2019 to say that the United States needs to withdraw our troops, especially from Syria and Iraq, because they don't provide any benefit to us.

They don't increase our security, but they're points of strategic vulnerability. I can just tell you, because I've been stationed on some of the, especially some of the smaller outposts that we have in Syria, and we have tactical air defense, but we don't have strategic air defense, meaning, you know, if Iran were to launch ballistic missiles, there's almost nothing we could do. They could strike with impunity should they want to. And there's, I mean, other than withdrawing their troops, there's no way we can protect them from there. Now, obviously, we hope that doesn't happen.

Trump does as well. But that is a risk that remains on the table because what we don't know is how Iran's going to respond. They could do what happened to Hezbollah when they assassinated the Nasrallah, their leader. They allegedly had like 150,000 really big rockets and some were very good and they never used them. They basically went to ground afterwards. I think that's what Israel is hoping is going to happen here. I don't know if that's going to happen here. I think that Iran has a lot more capability than Hezbollah had and you talked about the drones that got shot down.

That seems like a token response because Israel knows that those drones are going to get shot down, that seems like a token response because Israel knows that those drones are going to get shot down because of the experience they had in 2024 with the two rounds that went both north and south and against each other then. But their ballistic missiles were successfully getting through the Iron Dome and if they choose to do so, they can inflict a lot of damage on Israel. The key to what's going to happen next, and we don't know the answer to this, is will the Iranian regime prioritize regime survival or revenge? Because if they do regime survival, then they'll do something like what they did in

2024 or what Hezbollah did, and they'll have, they have to have some kind of response. They can't go nothing, they wouldn't be able to stay in power because of the demands of their people. But it would be something measured and small that would not escalate. But if they go the other way and say, we're just tired of getting hit, and we don't want to moderate our response, and then they go and hit something really big and painful in Israel, or, God forbid, strike some of our troops, then now that you have the possibility for a big flame in war here, and it could go any number of ways, but could cause a lot of trouble and a lot of pain for all of us. And that's, that's what I'm watching for right now. What comes next?

Lieutenant Cronwell, all across my social media feed or images like this of Israeli drones flying with impunity over Iran, It seems like the strategic strikes really did a number on knocking out air defenses. And now there seems to be supreme control of the air over the nation. Can you explain from a tactical perspective like what this means? This is a very bad position to be in, right?

Indeed it is. And I gotta say that I didn't think that Israel could pull off this level of success. No matter, I mean, I've always known that they are the premier military power in the region. There's never been a question about that. But to have this level of success where it looks like literally nothing got shot down

from Israeli, whether it was drones, whether it was missiles or certainly aircraft, because there's, I think I saw 200 was the number that were involved. None of them got hit. And there's literal impunity here, which means everything got knocked out. Now I have from one specific source I have in the Middle East that tells me that there was, they believe that there were Israeli special forces on the ground and other people that were disabling the incoming radars before anything even came in.

Militarily, you would start with suppression enemy air defenses called SEAD operation to take out air defenses first, and then you come in and fly with the bigger stuff to take out the targets you were going after. But apparently Israel, and I can't corroborate this, only this is what I've been told and it makes sense that they had people on the ground that sabotaged the the radars even before the seed operations, which literally blinded Iran, especially in the Tehran area. And if so, I'm just really stunned at how effective that was. And that's great tactically, but that, you know, wars aren't won by strikes or battles, they're they're won by campaigns. And so we'll see, because, cause we got to see what Iran does next because they still do have some tools to play that, uh, even the iron dome won't stop.

And that's what I think we're willing to waiting to find out what's going to be when the next shoe drops. I'm looking here at your astonishing career, desert storm, Afghanistan, uh, multiple deployments, 21 years of active service, retiring as Lieutenant Colonel. Have you ever seen anything like it with the building of a drone operations center from within enemy territory? I'm kind of, I'm blown away by that. I'm very much with you, General. I do not want Americans to be embroiled into this war. We have been solid on that for years. However, if you just look at it as like a war map

and you look at the reports that Israel was building drone operation facilities inside of Iran without them knowing, I mean, that's wild, right? Yeah, I mean, and you know, we're seeing the advancement of the way that wars are even fought. Obviously, in the Russia-Ukraine war, that, you know, that big hit that Ukraine had against Russia's strategic bombers deep inside of Russia, that's an advanced capability. Then you see what Israel is doing here. And of course, like everything that ever happens in the history of warfare through millions of years, or millions, thousands of years, it's going to be matched. And it's going to be followed by somebody else in the OB Advancement.

So this capability is going to expand around. And, you know, one day we could be on the receiving end to some of this. So it's great that Israel did it now, but we better make sure we're building defenses for this against for our own security. Right. And like I'm watching, you watching, there's never been any confirmation that President Trump moved all of the inauguration festivities indoors because of this.

But we've had sources say that they were really concerned about drone attacks during the inauguration. They were concerned about something like this, little black splinter cell that can fly these drones. And now we just watched it happen. We just watched it happen live, like how effective it is. Right, yeah, and I've actually spoken to some national security folks here in Washington,

and they do have a lot of concern about that. I personally am concerned about this parade that's coming up because that's, you know, there's all kinds of opportunity for things to go sideways there. And I'm sure that they're gonna have plenty of air defense and all kinds of security, but anytime you're outside and you have that many moving pieces, it's going to be hard to defend everything. I just hope that nothing happens, but that's one of the next things I'm worried about. Yeah. I want to conclude here because you have been a part of multiple American deployments

to the Mideast and you can speak to it from a deep well of knowledge and experience. What would you warn the president about being embroiled in further conflict in the Mideast? It is really easy to get into a war. It is damn hard to get out of one. And that's what I fear that Israel did not learn from our mistakes here, is that you start something but you don't know how you're going to get out of it. Unless Iran does the unexpected and just lays down and just rolls over and doesn't do anything with the capacity they have, this thing can get a lot more ugly, and it can really hurt Israel. And if they just get into a war,

if you can't fight a war with just missiles and drones, you still have to take or hold ground. And if Israel doesn't knock out the entire regime and all of their IRGC, they could be opening up a long time war here that could be very, very costly on top of all the fronts that they're currently fighting. I fear that they have bitten off more than they can chew unless they just get really lucky here. And I would advise the president of the United States, let's don't join them in starting something

we don't know how they're gonna finish it. And definitely there's nothing to gain for the US to be involved in any of this. Yes, exactly. Precisely, not our war, not our land, not our sand. Yes, sir. Yes, we deeply, congratulations, by the way, the 250th birthday of the United States Army.

And thank you very much for your service. Please follow the Lieutenant Colonel right here. Daniel Davis, deep dive. And look at that drone right there, man. Okay, let's book another one. Let's book another one Lieutenant. We were moving too fast today. Let's book a whole thing on drones.

I'd really like to talk about the future drone warfare. Do we even need aircraft carriers anymore? You know what I mean? Like, like at what Now the question at what stage do we get so advanced that like a $500 drone can take out anything? You know, you got it around the world. All right. Well, thank you very much, Lieutenant Colonel. Godspeed. You bet. My pleasure. Ladies and gentlemen, a very interesting and fascinating time period that we are living in war zones across the nation. One of those war zones is in Los Angeles. One man is running to try and fix this damn state and that is Steve Hilton.

He joins us live right now, the gubernatorial candidate for the great state of California, let's go. Steve, welcome back to the program. I'd see that your shot is clear and not filled with burning smoke embers or bricks being thrown at you. So I'm glad you're safe.

I finally escaped from downtown LA. I've been there most of the week. Basically my plan when I got there over the weekend when the riots kicked off, of course the Democrat Sanctuary riots, as they should be called. You could call them the Gavin Newsom riots or the Karen Bass riots,

but it's all entirely caused by Democrats and their extreme sanctuary policies and their total fecklessness in response. So there's the politics but the main point I wanted to say to you Benny is when I went there I thought you know the the acronym that was in my mind WWBD what would Benny do? We had that great time together on skid row where we went and saw for ourselves the total chaos of Gavin Newsom's California. And so I thought what would Benny do here? He would plunge into the thick of it and and

video everything. And that's what I've been doing all week. I didn't have anything quite as dramatic, I'm afraid, as the snake guy that we encountered when we were on the streets of L.A. last time. But it was pretty rough. It was pretty rough. So, all right, you know, were you ever in danger and what did you see? And more importantly, what did you see as it pertains to Trump's forces, you know, the National Guard, the Marines, did you see them?

So, yes, very much so. They were protecting federal property, federal personnel, federal law enforcement officers and projecting strength. And that is the crucial thing. And the minute that you saw that there on the streets, that's when things started to turn in a positive direction. And it took days for that to happen. Totally unnecessary because of course, well, I just want to go through the timeline, Benny, because it's really important everyone understands this. The whole thing was avoidable if you didn't have this ridiculous extremist sanctuary mentality. And the authority, they hide behind California's

sanctuary law passed in 2017, SB 54. Oh, our hands are tied, can't cooperate with ICE. Not true. I went through the law. Actually, there's discretion there to cooperate with ICE when it comes to serious criminals, which is who Tom Homan and his team were going after. So that's the first point. You'd never have had any of this if you had actual cooperation. Then when you had leftist groups funded by California taxpayers, CHRLA is the name of the group, we've all seen that, sending out these action notifications to get people to go to where ICE was operating. They were physically interfering with ICE's work. That is a crime and it puts those officers'

lives in danger. ICE contacted local law enforcement. They asked for help and protection from the LAPD and the sheriff's department. I've got this from local law enforcement. They asked for help and protection from the LAPD and the sheriff's department. I got this from local law enforcement sources I've been speaking to. They asked for help and they were denied. I mean, that right there is so outrageous and offensive that the sheriff of Los Angeles County, the LA police department, said, no, we're not going to help you. They're federal law enforcement officers upholding federal law. Why did they say that? Because Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom and the politicians didn't want to look as if they were helping Donald Trump and ICE. It's just so outrageous what happened. Then it all kicks off and the riots start. This is Friday and still

President Trump actually is, I mean, I spoke to him on Friday about it, on Friday evening, he was still thinking about whether it was necessary, and we were looking at the situation saying, well, should, do we need federal backup here? Gave him a little bit more time, and then when you could see the total inability and unwillingness of the Democrats in California to do anything about this at all. They were just standing back. Police were given orders to stand back. This is another unbelievable detail. You had police in a parking lot waiting for 15 hours on Friday as the riots were erupting, waiting for orders to deploy that never came. And so that's the context in which President Trump said,

we can't put up with this. And he's completely correct to say that once he sent in the National Guard, which is not just he had the legal right and authority to do, I would argue the duty to do as president of the whole country, including California, to protect people and property and communities,

that's when things started to turn and that I believe prompted Karen Bass and the idiots in charge to say, look, this, we can't let this, it's out of control. We've got to do something. So day by day, the local response started to match the federal response. Finally, things came under control, But the whole thing was totally avoidable and absolute disgrace. And just another symbol of the complete chaos and lawlessness from these idiots running California. I say running. They're not running anything. They're just political poses. I mean, what were they busy doing?

Gavin Newsom, when this was all going off, putting out pathetic, pandering statements on social media, trying to appease his far-left activist base. Karen Bass, you know, pathetically saying, oh, it was all peaceful before Trump got here. No, it wasn't. These people are a joke. His wife was shopping in Beverly Hills. She had a $6,000 designer bag. I'm sure you saw the photos.

Yes. I mean, the whole thing, these people, I think the fecklessness was really revealed. And I had a press conference yesterday outside the federal building in LA and You just try and sort of bring it all together and I laid out the timeline and so on But I also made the point that this is now a pattern This is exactly the same pattern that we saw in January with the fires June with the riots same deal. You have

extremist stupid policies that caused the problem and then you have their stupid policies that cause the problem and then you have their ridiculous incompetence that makes it worse. So just as with the fires, their extreme environmental policies built up the fuel, made regular fires far worse than they need have been and then in response what do they do? The empty fire hydrants, the sending half the fire department off duty, all the stuff that we know. Same here, it's the sanctuary policies that cause the problem.

And then when it all kicks off, they have no response because they're absolutely clueless. And I think that's been so clearly revealed in these six months in Los Angeles. And to me, it's a really good example of why I really believe the tide is turning in California. And we're gonna kick these people out next year Yeah, please take me down that down down that logic path, please because why would anybody ever vote for more of this?

However, it is self-preservation Stephen. Perhaps you could educate me here But this is our very simplistic take from about as far away from California as you can live. We're here in Florida so Why would Gavin Newsom attack his own power base? take from about as far away from California as you can live. We're here in Florida. So why would Gavin Newsom attack his own power base? He gains power. Democrats were able to flip California because Reagan, when he was suffering from Alzheimer's, was convinced by his liberal wife to grant amnesty to three million criminal aliens that were living in California. And that created the doom cycle for California because then that process just continued. Democrats got more power.

Democrats were able to get them hooked on welfare and were able to then pledge fealty to the Democrat party with every new criminal alien that came in. And so just like it's a horrible mafia style business relationship. And what Donald Trump is doing is effectively deporting their power base. He's deporting their voters. And they don't like that. So there's zero incentive for Gavin Newsom to ever work with federal authorities,

get rid of criminal aliens, even the ones that are burning LA to the ground. Do I got that right? 100% right. Okay. And the same with all of them, Karen Bass, all these useless people. But I think the optimistic note is that people are waking up.

I mean, look, okay, here's an example. Like yesterday on the streets, after the press conference outside the federal building, by the way, one detail I just wanna make sure I convey to everyone. This scale and the extent of the disgusting, vile graffiti everywhere. I've never seen anything like it anywhere in my life. Literally every building covered in

despicable graffiti, you know, F this, F that. By the way, you know, okay, F the cops and whatever, F Israel and all this. This is just multi-purpose leftist whatever, you know, whatever your view on that, it's got nothing to do with what's going on in LA. And so one of the points on the police department, that's another thing that was so shocking. Yesterday, I went with Gloria Romero, former Democrat, who's working with me on all this, the police department building was covered in graffiti saying F the cops. Like, how could that even be allowed to happen? Total disrespect for law and order. I mean, that's what you've got to. But the optimistic, even yesterday, walking around downtown, and it calmed down by then, there was a guy, literally wearing a t-shirt, and proudly wearing a t-shirt, the I'm voting for the

convicted felon t-shirt. I went up to him, we did an interview, we're going to put it out today. He said, I wanted to come down here and show everyone that we're not all far left lunatics and there are Trump supporters right here in Los Angeles. And actually there's many more Trump supporters across California than the Democrats believe and that the media narrative allows for. And that's, I think, what's gonna happen next year. If every Trump voter who voted for Trump last year votes for me for governor, I'll win with votes to spare. It's all about the turnout.

You know this very well. We've got to get people out there. The president did much better in California, even without particularly spending much money or campaigning than any Republican for a generation. So I think the support is there. We just got to get them to believe that it's worth turning out in a governor's race, as well as in a presidential race.

That's the plan. Turn out the Trump base, then we can win. Very quickly, Steve, because I know we have a hard out, but I have to ask you, this individual who is suffering from every like everybody else in California from Marxist radical fatigue. This boom is that is this guy going to get a is this guy going to get a award when you're governor are you are you going to give him the the the California Medal of Freedom. Yeah exactly we need that and that's the first recipient you're right there wasn't that a beautiful moment this is what I mean there's a spirit here in California that isn't quite extinguished.

Yeah. And we're going to relight that fire and save our beautiful state. Thank God. And as governor, you would work with president Trump on deportation. 100% of course it's the law and people voted for it right across the country, including in California. Last point, guess who really supports it. I was in East LA heavily Latino area.

Like the first week of my campaign, I asked those people, what do you think of all this? They said, send them all back. Yes. Because they are legal immigrants are the most infuriated by what's going on. And we play that clip again and again and again on the program that Hispanics love Trump's policies. They love them more than any other class of people

loves Trump's deportation policies. So well done, Steve. You're on the right side of history here. Godspeed in your election. Everybody follow Steve Hilton. 350,000 of patriotic Americans already do and make sure that this man is the next governor of California.

Thanks man. See you soon. Godspeed.

Let's go.

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. You might use the Kaching sound effects for APL. We're not sure. It depends on what she says. We have lots of sound effects. I have a feeling we're gonna use the rap horn actually. More, it's probably more likely to use the rap horn. There we go.

Okay, we'll see. We'll see. All right. APL, what's up? Congratulations on Doge cuts being passed in Congress. That was- Barely, barely, but we got it done. Yeah. That's wild. Why would Republicans vote got it done. Yeah, that's wild.

Why would Republicans vote against that? You know, it's interesting. I said the same thing when Republicans did not want to bring Merrick Garland in for defying subpoenas, even after Steve Bannon had gotten so badly ruled by the Democrats. So there are a couple of people that ended up changing their votes

to actually do the right thing and save us money, but there were a few that chose not to. And those are also some of the few that protected Garland. So interesting how that works out. Wow. Okay. So it's like a fifth column inside of the Republican party. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, again, I did, can somebody please explain to me why, I mean,

I didn't want to belabor this, but, cause there's too much to talk about, but like, why fund NPR? And what, like, where's the moral justification for any want to belabor this, because there's too much to talk about, but like, why fund NPR? And where's the moral justification for any Republican to tell their constituents, I want more NPR? I think the bigger problem here is why would you have Republicans that got elected

only because of President Trump tell their constituents that they're gonna come up here, change and then turn around and not just knife their constituents in the back, the American people, but also the president? So look, people are worried about getting reelected. But I also think for people that are no longer seeking office, that I think they might be incentivized to go work for some of these corporations and companies. And so if they vote against it, they say, Oh, look, you know,

here, this might be a business opportunity. There's a big problem with that. We have a lot of people that are incentivized to go make money outside of Congress and obviously as a result of their connections being here sometimes they end up leaving in the middle of Congress actually happened in 118th. So it's definitely an internal problem but what I would tell you Benny is that I think you're seeing the number that are going to continue to vote down these Doge cuts I think that we will still pass them but it is going to be by, in some cases, one, two, three votes. Okay, so you're telling me that the newest ASMR NPR show will be Mike Turner from Ohio in American Heartland. Mike Turner's American Heartland in NPR. He got himself a retirement job with his humiliating vote.

What a disgrace. Okay, fine. But I'm glad I passed, whatever. Glad I passed, whatever. Yeah, you What a disgrace. Okay, fine. But I'm glad it passed, whatever. Glad it passed, whatever. Yeah, you're a veteran. You clearly do not want Americans embroiled in further war. Just wanna get your quick take on the news of the day here when it comes to the striking of Iran.

We've covered it extensively on the show, the precision strikes, and then the take on it. You know President Trump really well. How did this all gamify? How did it all work? Well, what I can tell you is Trump actually just put out another statement this morning, affirming the U.S.'s position.

And then also the one thing that I appreciate about not just the president, but the secretary of state is that they have been very vocal about, do not touch a hair on the head of our U.S. service members anywhere in the world. And the reason I emphasize that is because as you're seeing, Benny, there are a lot of people that we're pushing, not just for what's happening right now,

but also in Ukraine, et cetera, pushing for kinetic engagement that would result in us deploying troops. What I can tell you is that President Trump has always led, and I don't think that his position has changed in leading peace through strength, but also to obviously we support our allies. And so what I will tell you is I firmly back

the administration and their position. I think it's smart. And actually just yesterday when this all began and actually really was day prior, you know, I'm heading up now the Syria caucus here in Congress. And as you know, President Trump also just fully lifted sanctions on Syria.

So if you've heard me talk about Patriot Mobile for a while on this show now, and you know that they've stood in the gap for every American that believes freedom is worth fighting for, they're the real deal. So let me ask you a question. Have you switched to Patriot Mobile yet?

If the answer is no, then I have to ask why. Are you worried about coverage? Don't be. Patriot Mobile is one of the few cell phone service providers that operates on all three major networks. The fact is that if you have cell phone service in the country today, you can get exceptional or even better service with Patriot Mobile. That's why they offer a coverage guarantee that others can. Or maybe you haven't joined Patriot Mobile because you think making the switch is painful. I'm here to tell you it is in fact not. It is very easy.

No need to spend hours at a retail store waiting your turn. Simply call Patriot Mobile's 100% US-based team from the comfort of your own home or office and they'll have you activated in minutes. Still locked into a contract? No problem, Patriot Mobile's contract buyout program covers up to $500 per device. Keep your same number, keep your phone

or treat yourself to an upgrade. Okay, back to my point. What are you waiting for? It's time to join Patriot Mobile today. Support a company that believes in faith, family, and freedom with every single call or text that you make. Don't wait. Do it today. Go to PatriotMobile.com slash Benny or call 972 Patriot. Use promo code Benny and get a free month of service when you sign up. That's PatriotMobile.com slash Benny or Or call 972-PATRIOT. Yeah. And what's been interesting is Syria historically, obviously being so close to Israel,

never previously had a leadership or president that actually had supported the Israeli state until now. And so I won't get ahead of Israel or the Syrian government, but I think that you'll see that the Syrian government's gonna come out in support of the Abraham Accords. And I think that that's really the position that we need to be in.

We don't need any more wars, we need peace. And I think long-term, you know, I'm hoping and we are praying actively for everyone involved because I think the worst thing that you can do is hope for chaos. Yeah, that's right. Wow, so that's incredible. So the Muslim Brotherhood guy who's in charge of Syria is going to come out in favor of the Abraham

Accords as well. Well, he's he's definitely in right now. Interesting state because Syria is so new in regards to their new government and there are still factions of ISIS that are actually trying to actively kill their president. So remember they are still right now in a very delicate phase and we wanna ensure that the president has our full support which is why president Trump did what he did with lifting sanctions. Obviously we are going to be codifying that in Congress and I hope to meet the president soon.

President of Syria that is. President of Syria soon is gonna be in Congress. Yeah, maybe. I mean, that is, this is a crazy ex-girlfriend story because we were just trying to kill this guy for 10 million bucks, right? Like, he had a bounty on his head, like not too long ago. Well, what's interesting is-

And now he's gonna come and hang out with you, he's hanging out with Trump. I mean, he's with Trump, he was with Trump, you know? He's hanging out with Trump in Saudi Arabia, right? Like, we have a photo of it, there you go. Like, sorry about the $10 million bounty on your head, bro, you know, says Donald Trump. What's been interesting is- And he's like, I changed my name.

Okay, it's all good. I changed my name. So it's like not, you know, so it works. What's been interesting is you need people that can stabilize. And I think a lot of people, one of the biggest maybe ideological differences here in the West versus over there is over there,

they do indeed have still, you know know something so much like warring tribes and So when you're looking at the internal struggles and then obviously there are those that are Radicalized and then even then so those that are radicalized they're still fighting amongst each other so the ability for someone to Want to stabilize it to work with the neighbors and then also to, I believe this is accurate, but I heard that the Saudi government had fully paid off Syria's debt to the World Bank.

So they generally have a fresh start here, but that's not going to continue if we cannot give them the tools that they need to actually have a stabilized economy. So, from a geopolitical perspective, from a peace perspective, we wanna ensure that right now, in its infant stages as a new country, even though Syria is so old and has such historical significance, even back into biblical times, and that we

are doing what we can right now to ensure that those people that want peace and want to actually support peace on the world stage can actually be given a shot at that. And he's right now the guy. Yeah, I don't, I listen, I don't care. I'm not judging anyone, right? Like I don't care. We started the show off with Trump and Kim Jong-un. We're technically still at war with North Korea.

They never signed a peace agreement. We're at war with this dude. And my favorite thing that Trump's ever done is walk into the DMZ. It's my favorite thing he's ever done. Yes, there's a Nobel peace prize for that. Yeah, that's right. So I just go like, this is the world I want.

This is my, this is America first. This is my- What we voted for. Yes, that's exactly right. Okay. The only person who could screw it up would be Senator Alex Padilla because in the middle of the peace negotiations,

he's going to come tearing in and start screaming, I'm a Senator! Yeah. You know what I mean? Like Donald Trump signing the peace accord with Iran and Alex Padilla will come tearing in and rip it up. Okay, what's going on with this jackass? Well, you know what's crazy too is,

so I think obviously this guy did this for clickbait, but also to like what actual testosterone dude goes in and tries to break Christina. She's like the most delicate, beautiful, tiny woman. And he's going in, what does he think? He was gonna like yell and scream at her. So I don't know if the guy's married. I don't know if he has daughters,

but I think that Kristi and I'm security handled this in a very professional fashion. I can tell you that if that was, maybe some members of my family there, they would not have handled that as eloquently as our secret service did. And so the fact that he did that is just gross. But what's more interesting is that we

were on the house floor maybe within like an hour of this happening. And John Mannion, the member from New York, actually decided to start screaming on the house floor at Mike Lawler. And I asked Lawler, I said, what the hell is that all about? And he goes, oh, well, he started screaming about what happened with Padilla.

So he was like using that to make a scene, but like literally Lalo like walked by and then he just started screaming for no reason. So I don't know what's going on with these people. I think that they need to talk to a psychotherapist because they're just not acting normal. And also we were voting. And so they're just starting to do weird stuff,

buddy. I don't really know what else to say other than that. Yeah, I mean, do you think it's like deep? Like, do you think it's because that the energy, right? Like the the energy to go at Kristi Noem, like shrieking and screaming the weird. Yes, but it's totally it's totally like feline, right? Very passive aggressive. They. Like he's probably a foot or two taller than Kristi Noem. He probably weighs 200 pounds more. It's really- Yeah, if he thinks this is such not a good look for the Democrats in addition to them now being openly-

What are you gonna punch a lady? You're gonna punch a woman? What's he gonna do? What was he planning on doing exactly? He was just gonna, I guess, scream at her. Maybe, I don't know. With the way that he was approaching her though in all seriousness any woman that has ever been in an uncomfortable

situation and actually the footage if there are domestic violence survivors out there I will say that this probably does trigger them so the way that he was approaching her was in aggressive fashion you don't approach someone like that especially not an elected official especially not an appointed position and so I will say that to Kristi Noem's credit, I heard that after this interaction took place, she actually then to my knowledge, wanted to talk to him and they exchanged numbers to actually like see what his concerns were.

But the fact is, is that she didn't have to do that. And the way that he approached it was in a very weird, aggressive fashion. He looked like he wanted to hit her. Yeah, I'd prefer like the handcuffs stay on, her. Yeah, I prefer like the handcuffs stay on frankly. Yeah, I think that I wouldn't like you. Look, so let's say you'd, if Mayorkas was there and like someone was charging at him

and screaming at him, I don't think that'd be a good look for Republicans necessarily. I think it'd look unhinged and like beta and like totally cut, totally cut, right? And like little like, like angry, passive, aggressive energy, I think it's a terrible look. I had a big, big, big magazine reporter actually in my office.

And he goes, this is really not good. I mean, all the reporters are just like, what the hell was he doing? Like even Libs were saying that. So it's definitely interesting. But I mean, look, they are not able to, they have an ideological problem within their own party right now. I mean, R, they are not able to, they have an ideological problem within their own party right now.

I mean, RIP David Hogg, we saw that he was just kicked out of the DNC. They don't know what their messaging is. They are actively going after their own moderate members to replace a far more progressive members that are actually now we're finding supporting and openly advocating for billionaires that are tied to the CCP. So,

you know, look, I want to cross this over right now. Padilla is in there attacking Kristi Noem, saying that this is about what? Illegal immigration. When in actuality, what we're finding is the riots in his own state are actually not having anything to do with illegal immigration. They're using Mexicans just the way that they use Black Americans during the Summer of Love, aka BLM. They are simply just inserting a Mexican flag. But really, these are being funded by the Communist Chinese party. So individual by the name of Neville Singham, billionaire, lives in Shanghai, China, part of the year. He's not a registered foreign agent. He should be. He's funneling in money to these protests. And it's all tied to the CCP. The No Kings protest that I'm advising

Every single person if you are Republican your mag if you're conservative do not attend because I'm seeing screenshots circulating saying they're going to wear Pro maga gear pro conservative gear or attempt to make it look like there are Republicans showing up at these things to stoke chaos when in actuality it's Antifa, but that no king's protest is actually funded by taxpayer dollars, actually have it written down to AFL-CIO, actually was responsible. You have the chart right there. $72 million in federal grants actually went

to this organization in addition to the Chinese Progressive Association. You can actually see it on this chart right here. The Chinese Progressive Association are devout Maoist. They actually brag about it in their literature, on their website. So you're telling me that all of a sudden the Communist Chinese Party cares about human rights.

That's interesting. They have Uighur Muslims in concentration camps right now in China. And not just that, but Neville Singham is also his wife funding into something called Code Pink. Code Pink is to help here constantly harassing members of Congress specifically on the topic of Palestine versus Israel, right? That's their shtick. And what I will tell you is that group in itself is actually also funded by the communist Chinese party. And yet those people have nothing to say

about, again, the Uyghur Muslims that the Chinese put in concentration camps and actually have been using DNA testing to locate. So they can put them in concentration camps. So this is all literally a color revolution. It's Marxist. It's not made up. We can see the money trail here and they are coordinating this on a massive scale. Meanwhile, at the same time, Benny, no one's talking about the fact that within the last week, Kash Patel and the FBI have located over three attempts by communist Chinese to smuggle in different forms of agro-terrorist agents,

whether it was through fungus that would literally cause massive harm, not just to our crops causing famine, but then also to parasites. And so remember when Trump was tough on China, we then all of a sudden had the Wuhan lab leak. Now Trump is tough on China again, they're smuggling this in, they're causing riots,

literally funding from the CCP. So remember it's not left versus right right now. It is literally West versus communism and that's what we're seeing happening. Yeah, the struggle of the last 100 years and an eternal struggle actually against darkness. Okay, so, you know. What are we doing about it is the question. Yeah, right.

Ask me what we're doing about it. Okay. Yeah. Because this is like alarming, right? Like, I'm like, okay, so if you are actually able to name the person, when do the shackles come out? Because we've heard Holly banging the drums, you know, about this. So Holly posted, yeah, Holly posted. So I want to give credit to someone, specifically to people. First person is the data Republican. She actually has been responsible for pulling all this data together and she's actually who I saw this.

And then also Laura Loomer was also the one that sent me the stuff on Code Pink and Singham's wife. But those two people credit do what's deserved, but what are we doing about it? So I actually talked to Comer and we actually have a letter going out today. You'll see that come out in a story with the New York Post. But a letter going out from all the members of oversight

asking Neville Singham to come in to testify. Neville Singham does not come in to testify. Mr. Singham, if you do not produce documentation and come testify before Congress, you'll be subpoenaed. And if you ignore that subpoena, you will go to jail because we will hold you in contempt of Congress and Merrick Garland is no longer in charge. So we are going to ask for financials and we are also going to be asking him to testify.

Now Mr. Singham is not a registered foreign agent, and he is advocating for the government of China. That is illegal. It's known as a FARA violation. So as of right now, we will call him to testify. You'll see that date notice, and the process will play out. But he's not the only person that I've asked Homer to bring in to testify, you'll see that date notice and the process will play out. But he's not the only person that I've asked Homer to bring in to testify. I've also asked him to call in George Soros. Soros is an interesting twist in this because you have Neville Singham who is a open Marxist pro

China and then you have Soros who's an open globalist. Both end objectives are to take down the West and to fight what President Trump is doing because he is literally the person standing in the way of that. And so their end objective, even though they're ideologically different in certain senses is, and target would be destruction of America. So we'll see if Comer bites on sending the subpoena to Soros,

but either which way, every single time Democrats call for a subpoena and try to pull a parliamentary on Soros, I will then, or on Elon Musk, I will then try to pull the parliamentary on Soros. So they'll have to choose. George Soros has been sowing these seeds for the better part of the last three decades. Why hasn't he ever been subpoenaed? Like are Republicans just so weak?

I, you know, Benny, I think that this should have been done a really long time ago. Yeah. And I'm only one member and I'm only one vote. We need more people up here with the same mindset. I think that there is probably, I'd say like a quarter of Republicans would have no issue subpoenaing him. I think though that there are people that are scared about reelection and George Soros is a billionaire.

I actually fought George Soros funding in both of my elections. There were groups tied to him that came after me to the tunes of millions of dollars. But, you know, this job for me is so I can help the country. And so it is what it is. And I think that that's what they're concerned about. Yeah, like it's like I was born in the 80s. OK, I think we're both born in the 80s. And we grew up in a very, we grew up in a very different country.

We grew up in a very different country with different political parties. And when this son of a bitch got involved suddenly became like a globalist Marxist movement. Like everything changed. Everything changed radically and horribly for the worse. It used to be like we agreed on, we agreed on a lot of stuff actually.

Here's a number that you should be telling people about $270 million went from USAID funding to various source controlled NGOs. And Elon Musk actually was on Joe Rogan talking about how source has been able to really take these small amounts of money in retrospect and turn them into these massive machines. And what I will tell you is that George Soros specifically, if you have taxpayer funded

dollars going to that when Elon went after USAID and then kind of uncovered the dirty tricks that the USAID was doing, all of that in itself, I don't think people realize how big of a deal that is. People can get focused on the low level finger pointing, you know, Denver's Republican Soros, you know, initially starting out, obviously, you know, he has an interesting story people should check into. But he is not ideologically an American. He might be by citizenship, but ideologically he does not believe in American values. He's a globalist. He's pushing the Open Societies Foundation, no borders is largely responsible for the mass immigration into Europe that has resulted in beautiful young women being raped, ideological warfare taking place. And to be clear, I would say

it has been responsible for a destabilization. I mean, he was responsible for dropping the British the British pound and crashing it it has crashed many countries before. So, you know, if you watch Star Wars, he's basically the Sith Lord of the left. Yes, yes, yes. He's like- I don't know how to say it. Yeah, you just go listen to interviews.

I mean, he'll tell you about how he got started. He'll tell you about like the darkness in his soul, that he doesn't believe in God, that he believes that he's God and that, and we know how that always ends, right? We know how that spiritual battle always ends. And that- God always wins, and God is real.

Yeah. Okay, so good. It'd be nice to see a little smiting, Congresswoman. So tell it to me plainly. Will George Soros get subpoenaed by this Congress finally? It's up to Comer. And I think that people should let Comer know how supportive they are of him for that, if he does it.

Okay, our team has found a remarkable photo here that actually proves your point. It's really something, and we're just working quickly here. But wow, I mean, you could almost like, the character actors, I mean, you could- We need to cue the Star Wars music. Yeah, that's right. Like, yeah, did we have the Imperial March?

Like the makeup's even the same. I don't- Yeah, George Soros is, you know, it's kind of weird. You look at all these people, you know, Carl, the guy who runs the, or we used to run the World Economic Forum that just stood down. I mean, they're all kind of, they look-

La Schwab. Yeah, they're all spooky looking. We will control the future. You will have nothing and love it. Yeah, they're all spooky looking. We will control the future. You will have nothing and love it. Yeah, well, man. Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't hear you. Yeah, it'd be really nice. Okay, it's really quickly here.

Back to your chamber. Okay, so we've talked about the Senate, to your chamber. LaMonica MacIver, she was indicted in three different counts. She's facing 17 years in prison for punching and going full world star on a bunch of ICE agents. I'm so glad you bring that up by the way, because the world star hip hop,

I think they actually posted this and people were, I was like, they're gonna post that on world star. People were like, what's world star? So generational gap here in Congress. What are we gonna do about it? So I think what happened- I mean, I wanna frame this as George Santos, George Santos, and I, you know, I-

Was kicked out before he was convicted. Right, like immediately. So what the hell's going on here? From an ideological perspective, George Santos being kicked out before conviction was wrong for the House of Representatives to do, because we know also that the DOJ under previous administrations has been weaponized

and launched false indictments, all of that. So I think that they're gonna be moving very quickly with her case specifically and charging her. And as soon as she is charged, there is legislation ready for both expulsion and then committees. Now, remember, when you expel someone, you need two thirds of the congressional chamber

to agree, meaning you have to have Democrats agree for expulsion as well. So I don't know if we'll get two thirds, but it doesn't mean we shouldn't try. So I do believe when she's charged, we should bring that vote to the floor. And then no matter what though, there will be the votes to remove her from committees, but it's absurd.

I really get ticked off because this is really just race baiting. This woman has no idea due to her own ignorance on what's actually behind the whole immigration debate. And so I actually asked Tim Walz yesterday when he was testifying to me, also to Kathy Hogle and then the other Lib Mayor, Lib Governor that was there. I asked him, I said, do you support Barack Obama's positions on immigration? Or do you believe that Barack Obama was the best president? And they said, yes. And I said, well, then you do understand that Barack Obama and

Republicans now have the same perspectives and viewpoints for the most part on illegal immigration and also that Barack Obama was noted as the deporter in chief. So when you're talking about rights now, why all of a sudden now? And it's because it's political. These people are using Mexican Americans because Mexican Americans are the largest voting minority in the country trying to win back the Democrat vote because they lost so poorly in the 2024 election cycle with President Trump sweeping that vote. They're trying to angle back into that corner.

So it's our job to inform the masses that these riots are not about illegals. It's not about Mexicans. It's not about deportation. It's actually funded by the CCP. Many of these members are taking money from some of these billionaires. They complain about billionaire oligarchs and here they are taking money from them. So you're telling me, you're telling me that we're going to have to wait for a guilty conviction for LaMonica McIver to get kicked out? Unfortunately, yes. However, however,

at least there's a plan. Yeah, I think though, however, even though we have the body cam footage, for precedence, because remember, we're gonna do it. I didn't agree with what happened with Santos, and I actually, because of that reason, did not vote for his expulsion because he was not found guilty in court.

So I think the precedence is important. But I do think that they are going to move quickly, and they will likely charge her and sentence her. Alina Haba is a pit bull, she's not playing games. We love Alina. So I think that they're gonna move very, very quickly with this. But what I will tell you is as soon as that conviction

is there, then she will be dealt with from a parliamentary and congressional perspective. But ultimately her voters need to not send her back because that's just embarrassing. It's gross. You know, it'd be, you know, it'd be like nice. It'd be nice for Republicans to learn that when we cuck out on our own side,

like Democrats won't play ball. But every Democrat, not a single Democrat will vote to kick her out. It's actually impressive how well Democrats stick together on certain topics. I will say that. Yeah, that's right. It's the hive mind. We stick together on certain topics. I will say that. Yeah, that's right. It's the hive mind.

We all saw the graphic, right? The ideology of thought versus the left. Republicans are more ideologically diverse. It's very smooth brained. That's right. Okay. All right. Well, fine. Thank you, Congresswoman.

We know you got to go. Everybody follow Congressman Anna Apolita Luna. She has nearly a million subs. And I really look forward to you coming back on the program with an Epstein binder full of information. Hey, no binders here. That's not my, that's not my M.O.

We don't do binders in this office. Why not just end on a triggering note? Thank you very much, Congresswoman. Have a good day. Godspeed, Godspeed. Godspeed. Godspeed. Have a good day. Godspeed.

Godspeed. Godspeed. Godspeed. Godspeed. Godspeed. Godspeed. Godspeed. Godspeed.

Godspeed. Godspeed. Godspeed. Godspeed. Godspeed. Godspeed. Godspeed. Godspeed.

Godspeed. Godspeed. Godspeed. Godspeed. Godspeed. Godspeed. Godspeed. Godspeed.

Godspeed. Godspeed. Godspeed. Godspeed. Godspeed. Godspeed. Godspeed. presser. Oh boy. Do we have the Fox News, is Cliff Effergy one of the Fox News footage, the live on Fox footage of the Kristi Noem presser? Okay. All right. Well, it does remind us of this impressive and exciting moment where AOC wore fake handcuffs. Okay. So again, this is a, this, do you remember this? The invisible handcuffs for AOC? You remember this? Where AOC was wilding out in front of the Supreme Court

and trying to get Supreme Court justices killed. And when she was arrested, she went into like, she did like a role play. She went into like a kinky role play thing. If you've ever seen like her husband, he's like a diddy level cameraman. And so like she put her hands behind her back with fake invisible handcuffs.

They didn't handcuff her. She just liked it. Okay, weirdo. Anyway, Democrats are really into this kind of stuff. And so the Senator from California, he's like the Senator from California, Alex Paveo. This guy took, this guy's filled Kamala Harris's seat. All right.

In case you're, in case you're wondering what, what honorary shoes he steps into, right? Do not come, do not come. Alex Padilla was chucked onto the ground by the FBI because he raged into a Christy Noem presser that was being broadcast live on Fox News. We have the clip here now. And acted like a complete animal. There's like, wait again, I wouldn't like it. I think it would

look really bad if Joe Biden, right? Even if Kamala Harris was like giving a presser and Republican senators, Stark Rae, let's take for example, like a Ted Cruz or a Josh Hawley, Mark Wayne Mullins on our show all the time. All of them are on our show all the times. Uh, like these men who are men of stature, men of the Senate, if they were like rip roaring and screaming at Kamala, cause Kamala was like a petite, she's like a small woman. She's a small little woman. If they came, dude, if Josh Hawley came flailing in at Kamala Harris during a live press conference, I would be like, that guy's insane. I'd be forced to like disavow him. I think that's a bad look,

frankly. I think he looks, would look unhinged. Markwayne Mullen now, this dude fought MMA. This dude was like a wrestler. He's like a championship wrestler. He's a really strong dude. Mark Wayne Mullen could straight up knock you out. He's a senator from Oklahoma. He's on a show all the time. If Mark Wayne Mullen,

if Jill Biden was doing a press conference, teeny little Jill Biden, and Mark Wayne Mullen comes flailing in and screaming, right, at Jill Biden, I'd be like, I'd have to disavow him. I'd have to be like, that's a bad look, bro. That looks stupid. You look stupid. And you look like, you look unhinged

and you look like you've lost your damn mind. And this is exactly what happened yesterday. So we played you the footage from cell phone cameras. Here's what happened live on Fox News. Let's go with this.... here to liberate the city from the socialist and the burdensome leadership that this guy... We are all feeling it. The rising costs are eating away at everything. Gas, groceries, home repairs. If you're a homeowner, you probably thought, should I call American financing to refinance and pay off credit card debt?

Then you second-guess yourself because of that low mortgage rate that you currently have. Listen, that low rate is not saving you if you're drowning in credit card debt. Credit card debt is 25% or more. It's criminal as far as I'm concerned. And that's math that nobody wants to face. That debt is costing you thousands.

And here's the truth. If you're only making minimum payments, the debt will follow you for years. That's why people are calling American financing. Because they're saving customers an average of $800 per month by using their equity to finally break free from credit card debt. You owe it to your family to see what's possible.

No upfront fees, no pressure. It costs you nothing to find out how much you can save. If you start today, you'll be able to delay two mortgage payments. Call American Financing today at 888-528-1219. That's 888-528-1219, americanfinancing.net slash Benny. Governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city.

So I want to say thank you to every single person that has been able to do this. Also, I want to talk specifically to the rioters and to the politicians in Los Angeles. Los Angeles. I also want to talk about specifically how many of our ICE agents have been doxxed for doing their duty, how they have been targeted, and how their families have been put in jeopardy, and that we're not going to allow that anymore as well. That those individuals who are purposely endangering our ice and fish ice agents and our law enforcement officers and their families will be

prosecuted for what they are doing as far as prepared. So Fox news obviously had a directional microphone that was right at Christie gnomes. You could barely hear it. Here's what was actually happening there. Alex podio, like a rabid psychotic animal, comes tearing in, comes tearing in, it's the cell phone footage. Yeah, here we go.

This is the senator. I have questions for the secretary. Question. Because the fact of the matter is, It's like a war zone. A dozen violent criminals that you're rotating on your, on your. Look at how he's winded, like,

again, it's humiliation, it's embarrassing, these people are such clowns. Show him getting arrested, please. Someone get him thrown on the ground. Why isn't he like... On your back. If you don't... If you don't, my hand's going behind my back. Alright, alright, alright. Cool. Okay, good hand. Lay flat. Lay flat. Other hand, sir.

Other hand. Ha ha ha ha ha. More of this. Please. I can think of many senators I'd like to see this happen to, including some Republicans. Ha ha ha. All right, ladies and gentlemen,

what was the response here? Well, all the devs are like out shrieking and crying and, you know, bitching and moaning. Alex Padilla is sobbing himself. He's crying on camera. Both Padilla and Kristi Noem had takes on this. He should have stayed in handcuffs. They should, I mean, you can't like go,

you can't go charging at administration officials like that. Kristi Noem's in charge, by the way, at DHS, she's in charge of like the largest federal police force. Do you know this? Like Kristi Noem's in charge of the Secret Service at DHS. She's in charge of ICE and border patrol. She's in charge of Homeland Security Police. And she's in charge of TSA. She's in charge of this massive police force. Do you know this? Like, Chrissy Nome is in charge of the Secret Service at DHS. She's in charge of ICE and Border Patrol. She's in charge of Homeland Security Police.

And she's in charge of TSA. She's in charge of this massive police force. She has the highest level of Secret Service. And you're gonna go charging at her? Weeeee! Beta, cucks, dude, these people are such cucks. Listen, watch them cry. Watch them cry.

I'm Senator Alex Padilla. If you guys have some questions, I'm gonna read a brief statement. I will not be taking questions, but allow me to read my statements. I'm here in Los Angeles today, and I was here in the federal building, in the conference room, awaiting a scheduled briefing from federal officials as part of my responsibility as a senator to provide oversight and accountability. While I was waiting for the briefing with General Guillaume, I learned that Secretary Noem was having a press conference a couple of doors down the hall.

Secretary Noem was having a press conference a couple of doors down the hall. Since the beginning of the year, but especially over the course of recent weeks, I, several of my colleagues, have been asking the Department of Homeland Security for more information and more answers are in their increasingly extreme immigration enforcement actions. And we've gotten little to no information in response to our inquiry. Okay. ALX, ALX is like the busiest man that exists in the world. That was such an obvious salt that live. He's literally crying.

He's crying. So because we missed that salt that live, we have two more clips that I'm gonna request. One, Gavin Newsom sobbing. Gavin Newsom went on the New York Times and started crying yesterday. And he was literally breaking down into tears. Donald Trump broke these people.

And then we have a clip from our next guest, Nick Sartor, who will be showing us sort of the cool parade route stuff just really quickly. Nick's getting set up right now, but Nick interviewed Jamie Ratskin yesterday with all the Ratskin on his head. And Jamie Ratskin had a panicked meltdown. We'll do that as a back-to-back salt that lid.

And we apologize in advance for not salting that lid. That was an obvious salt that lip. What were we thinking? We're just moving too fast today. Honestly, there's so much to cover. Anyway, Nick will be joining us very, very soon. First, here's Kristi Gnomes reaction to all of that. She was on Fox explaining what happened and why this dumb bastard was arrested. Here we go. I would say as we were conducting a press conference to update everyone on the enforcement actions that are ongoing to bring peace to the city of Los Angeles.

And this man burst into the room, started lunging towards the podium, interrupting me and elevating his voice and was stopped, did not identify himself and was removed from the room. So as soon as he identified himself, you know, appropriate actions were taken. But I would say that, you know, I had a conversation with the senator after this. We sat down for 10 to 15 minutes and talked about the fact that nobody knew who he was. He didn't say who he was until he was—already had been lunging forward, and people were

trying to detain him for quite a period of time, and that this—you know, we're leaders. We're public servants. And if he had requested a meeting, I would have loved to have sat down and had a conversation with him that coming into a press conference like this as political theater, it's wrong and it does a disservice to this country and the people who live here. So we sat down, had a conversation. We probably disagree on 90 percent of the topics, but we agreed to exchange phone numbers. We'll continue to talk and share information. And I think that's the way it

should be in this country. I wish he would have acted that way in the beginning instead of creating a scene like this. We know Chrissy Noem. We've gone on trips with Chrissy Noem. She is, what's the right way to say this? Dainty, right? Crossfitter, right? Close your works out. But to have a man who's twice her size, let's just call it what it is. Alex Padilla is, you know, dough boy. He's like twice her size.

Confailing at her and screaming at her. What'd I say, Cotick Lunatic? They should have left him in handcuffs. I'm so sick of this, like, let's be the better people. You know the better people have gotten us as a party? Nothing. Nothing. Let's be the better people. You know, the better people have gotten us as a party. Nothing, nothing. Let's, let's be the better people. Right. Nothing. Dude. I mean, you know, they would have taken me, they would have taken me, lifted me up and throw me directly into the Hudson river. If I'd come at Christie. No. Okay. In, in this

interview that we did anyway, ladies and gentlemen, we missed our salt that lib. Don't worry. We got you. Uh, here is, do we have Gavin Newsom ready? All right. Here's a salt that lib Gavin Newsom sobbing during an interview, making up a fake story about his daughter and about how Donald Trump's going to put him in jail. Just a delicious salt that lib for you. Please get your salt shakers ready.

I got mine. Let's freaking go What did you make of the fact that he that he did seem to suggest that you should perhaps be Arrested well me you know I guess I'm being fair. I didn't even call that a red line. That might be a red line for some people listening. That wasn't the red line for you. No, because I can handle that. I just can't handle my city being torn asunder. I can't handle my country being torn asunder.

I got four young kids. I have a 15 year old who quite literally came home from school crying because she was told on her last day of school, God is my witness, because she was told her daddy was getting arrested. Wow. And I said, honey, that doesn't matter. What matters is what's happening with the military out on the streets. I can handle that. I'll be fine. Wow. But I'm worried about you. I'm worried about this country. I can handle that, I'll be fine. But I'm worried about you, I'm worried about this country, I'm worried about everything we've taken for granted

and fought so hard for disappearing overnight. I'm sensing some real emotion in your voice here. I was just downtown meeting with people who literally, this is mass panic for people, good people. I was sitting there talking to some community leaders. One of the young girls gets up, says she looks at her phone in a panic. She goes, my mom, my mom runs out.

And I find out that there was people knocking on the doors and mom was undocumented, been here for years and years and years. She was born in this country and she's having this experience you had a nine nine month pregnant woman arrested people are disappearing people are disappearing disappearing they don't know where they are they can't find them in the united states of america i hear some real emotion in your voice I hear some real emotion in your voice. All right, ladies and gentlemen, here we go. Nick Ready?

Waiting on that response, boys. What are we thinking? Great Nick Sartore. All right, ladies and gentlemen, the spectacular independent journalist Nick Sartore will be joining us in just one second. I think he's on his phone. Is he on his phone? Is he mobile? Okay, he'll be mobile. Okay, let's joining us in just one second. I think he's on his phone. He's on his cell. Is he on his phone? Is he mobile?

Okay. He'll be mobile. Okay. Let's talk about phones for a second. Got phones. All right. I got phones and I got these little kids and I'm not like Gavin Newsom. I don't make up stories about my kids.

These are real. These are real time stories. Uh, my phones, uh, I don't have, my kids won't have devices. They don't have iPads. All right. They don't. So these are, these things are total novelties to them. And so they'll grab my phone and they'll like start punching buttons and numbers. They lock the phones all the time.

Right. This is a total novelty kids get, kids get bored. My kids live in books. That's all they do. They read books. Okay. That's what my kids do books. Anyway, the point is, is that I lock my phone.

You probably lock your phone. I guess you could leave your phone unlocked. It's a terrible idea.

Ladies and gentlemen, to a man who has the most secure phone in all of DC because he's recording with it constantly and it's being smashed out of his hand by goons that protect the left-wing politicians that don't want to be asked tough questions, the great Nick Sartore on the show. Let's go.

Incredible. Hey, Nick, what's up, dude? How's it going, Benny? We're out here at the National Mall right now. I'm standing in front of a Blackhawk. Never seen a Blackhawk in the National Mall before. This is epic. I mean, this was planned in such a short amount of time, but the setup here, where I'm actually at right now, is where they're gonna be having the actual birthday party for the US Army here. You can see the Washington Monument in the background. I mean, it's just no better setup.

I'm really impressed with what I'm seeing so far out here, man. Sweet, dude. So is there a bunch of like cool military tech like all around you? Like, does it got some tanks? Oh yeah. Yeah. I mean, look, like, we got, we got an Apache right there. We got a Cobra over here. I mean, it's kind of crazy.

I mean, I can walk you around here in a second, but, uh, I, I've heard the, uh, the lame stream media walking around here interviewing people on the street. They, they don't come up to people like me. They go up to people that are wearing like, you know, purple hair and whatever and ask them what they think of the military parade. Oh, it's just terrible. This is just awful. What are we North Korea? It's a come on people, you know, have a little bit. We're in the nation's capital. It's the 250th birthday of the greatest military ever in the world. I mean, come on, you gotta celebrate a little bit, right? Yes. So, okay. So yeah, like I, so people are actually upset about this.

Like I don't get, those are just like aging. Those are just like aging DC, like, like childless boomers. I know that type of person, right? Like they've worked- Goddard's cat lady for sure. Right. They've worked at housing and urban development, you know, for like the last 60 years. And they're like just bitter and awful. No, I think people love this.

OK, so so DC is now all banners and stars and stripes for the army's birthday tomorrow. Yeah, I've never seen anything like it. I mean, I was looking from my apartment, looking down at the at the interstate this morning and they were rolling tanks down the interstate. I got to post that video later. But my God, it was a hell of a thing to wake up to. It makes you feel really patriotic. I, you know, come into this city before Benny, when Biden was around,

you know, my first intuition was to get out as soon as possible. Right. But now I feel like it's coming back. They're like those little inklings that Trump might actually take the city back from, you know, the D.C.. It might actually go back to the federal government. We'll see. That would be pretty cool. But yeah, you're showing tanks up on the screen. So that's right over here.

So the whole National Mall, I mean, I don't know. Anybody that's been to the National Mall, I'm just like, you know, it's quite a hike between the Capitol and the Washington Monument there. And it's lined with military vehicles on both sides. I love it. It makes me feel so patriotic then. That's freaking cool. I don't understand how anybody could be against that.

It is our military. These things exist. We just don't wanna see them ever. Have we become so weak as a society that this triggers people? I don't get it. I guess we have. You triggered Jamie Raskin yesterday. We can have the footage. We'll just play it beside. Can you talk me through this exchange?

He started like losing his mind on you You fascist I walked up to him Benny. I was like I walked right past him You know, I wasn't really in the mood and I'm like, you know what? I'm gonna ask this guy a question because you know, he's the guy that was that was calling Kilmar Obrego Garcia Unillegal his constituents. I'm so I was like, okay. Yeah, you know, I'm gonna go up to him and I'm gonna ask him I just just very nicely do you stand by your comments that you made before? Do you still support kilmar obrego garcia? Ballistic berserk it started calling me names. You're a fascist. You're cueing on your I mean

He was just you could see though like the blood coming out of his eyes almost I mean it was crazy And it was fantastic this went on for over five minutes benny or almost five minutes anyway Because he got caught by traffic and he didn't want me to videotape him jaywalking illegally So he got trapped at the light So he had to stand there and take it from me for a while and he kept having his little minions Block me and try to push me out of the way. And I don't really take too kindly to that.

I still keep going. And closer to the end of the video, you'll see him go up to a Capitol police officer and like nod at him to get him to do something to me. And the Capitol police officer shook his head no. You know, so. But this is the same guy, Benny, that had just come out of the Capitol

from going and doing his little grandstanding thing where he goes up and acts all tough and marches to Thune's office defending Padilla from, you know, crashing a press conference of a cabinet secretary rushing the podium. And he's not even allowed to be asked questions on the street. So this guy is not just a liar, but he's also a hypocrite. There's such cowards. They never get this.

This is the con by the way, this is like the co the life of every Republican on Capitol Hill, like constantly being hounded by, by taxpayer funded journal. By the way, like, I don't know if the American taxpayer pays you, Nick. I doubt it. But like the taxpayers, that's right. The taxpayers fund for people from NPR, all these nonprofit groups. Like we pay for the harassment of Republicans on Capitol Hill. It's so nice to see, so nice to see it flipped around.

They're not used to it, Benny. They're not used to it at all. They don't know how to, they don't know how to take it. You know, he's sitting there, you know, making fun of me thinking that I, that I wouldn't, that nobody was going to see the video. You know, he was like, Oh, you're such a big boy. You're such a the video. He was like, oh, you're such a big boy. Such a big guy. It's like, okay. Yeah, the clips now been on your show.

It's gotten over a million views on X on my post alone. That doesn't count anybody else's and Jesse Waters aired it. This guy is eating his words today and the world is seen how much of a clown. He is 1.2 million views 50,000 like 17, 17,000 reposts, and 7,000 comments. Yeah, this is safe to say this is one of the most viral clips published this week in politics. And that's saying a lot in a Trump era. So congratulations, Nick. Thank you.

Okay. So like, um, we need more of this, dude, you know, we need more, we need more of like people having the guts to go out and like actually ask, we need more. We need more of like people having the guts to go out and like actually ask these questions. And we're really happy to always support your work and that you're doing it. Okay, where are you going to be for the parade tomorrow? You're going to be like there on the,

you're going to be there like in the stands? Yeah, I'll have a nice setup. I'll have a Starlink setup there. So I'll have a connection the entire time, which would be nice. So, you know, probably maybe do some lives or two. We'll see. I mean, it should be awesome, man. It's it's the setup the setup in front of the white house is way down there. It's kind of blocked off right now. So I couldn't really get to it, but the stage in front of the white house It looks like a freaking Beyonce concert that's about to happen down there. It's amazing and it's for the military. Oh

Super awesome. Amazing. Okay. Well, we look forward to your content tomorrow, Nick, and say hello to team Benny who will be there. I know AILEX is already in DC rocking and rolling. Everybody go follow Nick. He's one of the best out there. He's on the show all the time. And he's, oh my gosh, guys, look at him. Look at chat. Nick's like a thousand away from a million subs. We're gonna give him a million right now. We're gonna get him a million subs today, today, junior. Look at Nick, he's one of the best out there and he deserves it.

Nick, Godspeed, man. Proud to always be supporting your journalism. Appreciate it, Benny. Take care. See ya. Yeah. Yeah. See ya. Ladies and gentlemen, we move on to the Ask Penny section of the show.

Let's go. We need to redo all the new cutscenes. We need to do all new cutscenes for the show. We have such different technology than we had a couple of years ago. Klein's promising me he's going to work on that for six months. Okay. All right. Well, there's nothing like a little public drag.

It's not like we haven't been doing anything. Yeah. Okay. All right. Juiced, what's up? Juiced says, is President Trump still gonna check if all the gold is at Fort Knox? Could you ask him? That would be a good show. Yeah, that would be amazing.

Where'd whatever happened with that? So like could Fort Knox say no to Elon Musk and to Donald Trump? Trump was asking about it. Elon was saying he'd do it. So where'd the doge embed at Fort Knox? The fear here is that there's no gold there and that all the gold has been plundered by our elites.

So what's the deal? When was the last time there was like a Fort Knox audit was like the nineties. So what happened? What like what's happened since then? Not sure. Allegedly this is allegedly this is the vault, but yeah. Okay.

22 ton vault door. Well, there you go. Is our dollar backed by anything? What a question. John Setton saying, is it time for Republicans who leak information like the Epstein stuff in the same manner that Democrats do? I say, yes, yeah, absolutely.

Like Republicans are dumb. They don't like do the same tactics. We have offered our show and are like very, we are graciously offering our show to anybody who wants to like actually leak any of these documents, fine. You know, like, just get out with it. This is what I've said for a long time and I'll say it again,

the number one and only way to restore transparency with the American people is to give us all of the information. We can take it, we can handle it. We've seen tough and brutal images online. We've seen like war fighting and the horrors of just the modern world, like just be out with it and prove that it's now time for transparency of the people,

for the people, by the people. Should President Trump create some good news by visiting and opening all of those new US car factories? Yes, absolutely. I think he's going to. There are a bunch of new car factories. There's like a massive new billion dollar investment every single day, multi-billion dollar investment

every single day. And it'd be cool to do quite a few golden shovels and ribbon cuttings, but President Trump's only one man. So we'll be happy to do it. If you want to give us the giant golden scissors, we'll be happy to slice and dice with you and for you. Ladies and gentlemen, if you support our show and if you've watched now through hour two,

The real sign that you are on the side of the angels is peace, bringing forward peace.
