Speaker Time Text
unidentified
I was going to say, everyone that I've talked to on the ground when we're delivering supplies, they're saying, I was watching the media.
ron desantis
They told us Tampa.
unidentified
That's why I didn't leave.
ron desantis
I know people personally on the island.
unidentified
Is there going to be any accountability in the media?
ron desantis
Well, look, I mean, I think part of it, quite frankly, you have national regime media that they wanted to see Tampa because they thought that that'd be worse for Florida.
That's how these people think.
I mean, they don't care about the people of this state.
They don't care about the people of this community.
They want to use storms.
And destruction from storms as a way to advance their agenda.
And they don't care what destruction's in their wake.
They don't care about the lives here.
If they can use it...
To pursue their political agenda, they will do it.
And so I think there was a lot of buildup about that.
And look, we were obviously concerned about Tampa, too.
But I think there was so much emphasis on it that I do think people said, you know, and then it was supposed to go in as a cat, too, actually, into Tampa.
I think people said, well, I'm 125 miles away from here.
Maybe I'm better off hunkering down.
I absolutely think that impacted the city.
benny johnson
October 4th, 2022, and Donald Trump sues CNN for defamation.
Seeks $475 million.
Biden claims, I was sort of raised in Puerto Rico.
What?
And Kanye West says, White lives matter while doing a fashion show with Candace Owens.
My name is Benny Johnson, and this is The Benny Show.
Forgive us for being a little bit late to our broadcast today.
We are once again...
On the road last night, we were on Tim Pool's IRL for four straight hours.
It was an incredible show.
We encourage you to head on over to Tim Pool's channel and check it out.
We are here in Washington, D.C., and we will be doing a number of different documentaries here.
It is incredible to see the absolute corrupt and rot of this city.
I used to live here for 15 years, and wow!
Man, has this place decayed.
Everywhere.
I'm here at the Capitol of Hilton, right in downtown Washington, D.C., and it is incredible to look around right out at the White House and to see tent cities.
Do you know that your entire capital city of this nation is in total and complete decay?
That the capital city of the greatest nation on earth looks like a third world hovel, has zombie-like drug addicts wandering around the city that you can't even walk outside safely.
No one is here.
Those who remain?
And who are not drugged out of their minds or living in a tent in one of our storied national parks?
Those people are masked up and scared.
It is incredible, the devastation of this city, and I look forward to documenting all of it with our documentary team on this show.
We encourage you and thank you for supporting our show.
The number one way to support us is to go and like the page, share the content, and subscribe to the podcast.
Thank you so much for being a member here on The Benny Show and for encouraging us to continue to go because sometimes it is dark, man.
Outside, it is dark here.
It is raining.
It is a doomed city, right?
Washington, D.C. is a doomed...
City.
This city has a take.
It looks like Gotham outside.
It really does.
There aren't any tall buildings here.
But it is hard to describe to you how many tent cities you see walking through the capital of the greatest nation on earth.
It is truly, truly an era of decline for this place.
It is because the leaders here in this city are such corrupt jackals.
Now, who is the number one leader in this city for the Democrat Party?
The party in charge is Joe Biden.
And what does Joe Biden do his entire life?
He lies.
He deceives.
He deceives himself.
He deceives the people around him.
He says that he's in favor of the working class and bringing people up.
All across the White House grounds, you'll be amazed when you see this documentary that we're about to release.
All around the White House grounds are tent cities everywhere.
There are drug addict people like wandering around, like zombies, like zonked out of their minds.
It is an absolute devastation what has happened to this place, and it is evil, truly.
Joe Biden in Puerto Rico claiming, on the other hand, that he is a Puerto Rican.
That's right.
So he has lied.
He has deceived his entire political career.
He is deceiving the American people into thinking that he is somehow ushering in some era of decency while the city that he is in charge of is in total and complete decay and collapse.
And Joe Biden has only ever been from some of the whitest and most Irish places around the East Coast, Scranton, PA, coal mining country, and then Wilmington, Delaware.
But...
Joe Biden was in Puerto Rico yesterday saying that he's a Puerto Rican.
There you go, baby.
Identity politics at its last.
80-year-old, creepy, diseased Irish man with hair on his legs.
The term blonde, blonde in the sun.
Corn pop can feel him up.
Going down to Puerto Rico to talk about hurricane devastation.
Saying, I was raised in the Puerto Rican community in Delaware ago.
joe biden
And so I...
I was sort of raised in the Puerto Rican community at home politically.
And so we came here for a long time, both for business and pleasure since you're part of the Third Circuit Court.
benny johnson
Do you remember the last time that Joe Biden tried to ingratiate himself?
With the Latin community?
You want to know why the Latino community is breaking for Republicans in historic numbers?
Why Democrats may lose every election henceforth because of this specific presidency that has lost the Latino community entirely?
This is why.
The reason why is this kind of like insulting platitudes that get projected by Joe Biden and Jill Biden.
Like, the time that Joe Biden tried to play Despacito in dance for a Latin event in Miami.
Watch.
joe biden
I just have one thing to say.
Hang on, Eric.
unidentified
All right.
Di que tu mirada ya estaba llamándome There you go.
joe biden
Dance a little bit, Joe.
unidentified
Come on.
joe biden
I'd say it, my boy.
unidentified
Come on.
Thank you.
benny johnson
That's not how you get the Latin vote?
Is that how you get the Latin vote?
You play Despacito with your phone?
I mean, what else you got in your grab bag of racist things to do for Latin people?
One, you are, like, again, Joe Biden is as white as the first cotton ball that you pull out of the top of the cotton ball container from CVS, right?
He's as white as...
So you get a bottle of aspirin, you go down to CVS, you buy your bottle...
Give me a bottle of aspirin.
You get your bottle of aspirin and there's a big...
Lump of cotton at the top.
Pick the cotton out.
And that's like Joe Biden, essentially.
His entire political career.
This has been Joe Biden.
Joe Biden's also kind of like menacing, malevolent political leader that will tell an audience.
We don't have this clip loaded up.
Remember when he told an audience of like black people, majority, minority people in West Virginia that Republicans would put them back in chains if they got in office?
This is the style of politician that Joe Biden is, right?
This is the style of politician Joe Biden.
And Joe Biden's no better.
Now, if Joe Biden dancing, okay, so let me, okay, so you're talking to like, you know, so you're talking to like a group of minority people and, well, it's not really a minority.
If you go to Puerto Rico, it's all Puerto Ricans, right?
Like, you're not a minority there.
There's Joe Biden sitting there saying, I'm just like you.
I was raised a Puerto Rican.
Joe Biden does the same thing and is just like, hey, you know, you all remind me of churros.
You remember Joe Biden says, You know, Mexicans are tacos.
unidentified
But we can't get those things on our own.
Raul helped build this organization with the understanding that the diversity of this community, as distinct as the Bogotá's of the Bronx, as beautiful as the blossoms of Miami.
And as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio is your strength.
benny johnson
So what's interesting about that clip is not that the White House has dozens of writers.
So dozens of people wrote, hey, you know what?
Why don't we call Mexicans tacos?
Dozens of people wrote that.
And then, look, Joe Biden, who...
Again, is a really special career move for Alice Cooper to go from making music to being the First Lady.
And we've never seen anything like it.
Rock star Alice Cooper moving to the First Lady position.
Very special.
And also going a little heavy on the makeup from the rock career.
We encourage you to tone it down.
But nonetheless, very special.
Jill Biden dresses.
Exclusively from Bed, Bath& Beyond, Shower Curtains.
Again, like a very successful and very historic First Lady.
Also historic is that the First Lady compared a group of people to the type of food that she thinks they like to eat.
Pretty...
Pretty, pretty interesting move there.
Now, Joe Biden went on to the Italian, you know, to a trip to Italy saying, you all are my meatballs.
You're my meatballs.
I like you because you're a pizza.
Joe Biden, not the best, actually.
Not the best at this.
But there we go.
Alice Cooper getting old, has to...
Has to decide on a new career path.
And there he goes.
So President Biden told an audience of Puerto Rico Monday that I was raised as a Puerto Rican!
despite the fact that only about 2,000 people of Puerto Rican ancestry live in Delaware.
unidentified
Where?
*laughter* Thank you.
*whistling* *crickets*
benny johnson
So they all...
So there's 2,000...
Puerto Ricans and Delaware, alright?
I'm going to Delaware, actually, in two days.
And we have some special things planned there.
Get ready.
We are putting up a monument to Brandon Falls.
I'll just give you a preview.
We're putting up a monument to Brandon Falls.
Let's just say it's going to be spicy.
So there's like 2,000 Puerto Ricans in Delaware.
Delaware is not a very diverse state.
And, you know, my wife's family is from there.
We'll see.
Geron DeSantis could fly in.
A ton more criminal migrants, and maybe, you know, maybe that will assist.
But when Joe Biden was being raised in Delaware, according to this article, which is from the New York Post, there were 2,000 Puerto Ricans.
So what?
Do they all live in the same, like, do they all, like, live in the same building?
Like, do they all, like, have to say, did Joe Biden, like, live in the Puerto Rican building?
Like, how, like, I know apartment buildings that can house 2,000 people.
I know hotels that can house 2,000 people.
I'm in one right now, even though it's completely empty.
It's like a ghost town.
I'm like the only, I'm like a haunted hotel right now in Washington, D.C. There's no one here!
There's no one here!
It's me and the Bell Staff.
It's really, it's October, so appropriate.
Like, I'm at a haunted hotel.
There's literally no one here in Washington.
It's just like a ghost town.
So what, like, what's the deal?
Who raised Joe Biden?
Let's continue to read.
Joe Biden had a habit of inflating his personal connection to audiences, made him claim while pledging Hurricane Fiona recovery aid during a trip to Ponce, the island's southwestern coast.
We have a very, in relative terms, large Puerto Rican population in Delaware.
Relative to what?
Relative to, like, flying on a plane or being on a bus with a Puerto Rican?
What do you mean, relative?
Large, relative?
2,000 people?
Okay, what's the population of Delaware?
What do you mean you have a relatively large population?
2,000 people!
unidentified
All right, cool.
benny johnson
We have the eighth largest black population in the country.
And between all minorities, we have 20% of our state that is minority.
So that was sort of raised by the Puerto Rican community at home.
What?
Okay, so first off, we know...
Alex, pull the clip.
I want the corn pop clip.
I want the corn pop clip.
So let's talk about how Joe Biden has treated minorities in his hometown.
So Joe Biden has treated minorities like corn pop.
Now, the story of corn pop is very important.
You have to, like, look past the fact that Joe Biden's shirt is unbuttoned down to here and past the fact that there's a bunch of, like, school kids that are, like, there's a bunch of kids, like, standing next to him in swimwear and that Joe Biden's talking about his hairy legs that turn blonde in the sun.
And like having kids jumping on his lap.
And you have to look towards the actual Corn Pop story itself.
Corn Pop is a young black man who had too much pomade in his hair when he was swimming.
And Joe Biden was a lifeguard at the pool in, according to Joe Biden, a bad neighborhood of Wilmington.
And Joe Biden was going to fight this guy because he had too much pomade in his hair.
And so the guy said, I'll fight you.
And Joe Biden went down into the pool house and got a rusty razor blade and some chains and met Corn Pop, a black kid who presumably is from, you know, not, I don't know, what would you say?
It doesn't have the same white privilege Joe Biden does.
Met him outside to kill him or to maim him, to beat him up for the crime of having too much pomade in his hair.
This is the story of Corn Pop.
It bears repeating.
Because the Corn Pop story is indeed the story of Joe Biden.
Joe Biden's always been a vicious racist.
Joe Biden said you're not black if you don't vote for him.
Joe Biden, like Alice Cooper, his wife, is saying that you don't have, you know, you're a churro if you're a Latino, and you're as special as the churros given to me at Disneyland when I am walking in downtown Disney.
And so this is how Joe Biden has treated the minority population inside of Delaware.
Joe Biden famously said that if you don't have, do we have the corn pop clip?
Let me go, guys.
Joe Biden famously said that if you don't have an Indian accent, you're not going to fit in a 7-Eleven in Delaware.
He's like on tape saying this.
He's on tape saying this.
So it's worth noting that Joe Biden is probably the worst president for race relations in American history.
Because Joe Biden has himself, like, behaved as such a venal and sort of, like, on-the-nose racist his entire career.
And we've, like, talked, we did an entire show yesterday about how Kamala Harris is racist against white people.
And how she wants to dole out federal aid to communities of color because apparently hurricanes are also racist and hurricanes go after black people only.
Doesn't hurt anyone.
Really, I mean, it's borderline remarkable.
It's...
I mean, listen, man, it's funny to look at.
It's fun to laugh at.
But it has, like, ramifications.
This is what Joe Biden said in 2012 when he was running against Mitt Romney, saying that he was going to, that Republicans were going to put black people back in chains.
Just a reminder, like, this is how Joe Biden talks to and speaks to and treats minorities.
joe biden
Romney wants to let the, he said in the first hundred days, he's going to let the big banks once again write their own rules.
Unchain Wall Street.
They're going to put you all back in chains.
benny johnson
It's amazing watching old Joe Biden clips, because you're so used to what Joe Biden would say today, which is, if you took your chains, then you'd have a dibbity-doop, a little dibbity-poop.
This would be like the Joe Biden of today.
Like, you wouldn't be able to even complete that sentence, right?
You wouldn't be able to, you wouldn't be able to say, he'd be able, he'd be true and international under pressure about the chains.
You wouldn't have, like, Joe Biden be able to speak, like, even just a few years ago.
Joe Biden is completely lost.
Joe Biden was lost on stage again yesterday, wandering around, getting, everywhere he goes, he just gets lost is what happens.
the fog that appears in your brain during dementia.
Look.
unidentified
Thank you.
Good afternoon.
benny johnson
He has no idea what he's doing.
He has no idea who the hell he's talking to.
Joe Biden said, and I quote, New York sent not only a congresswoman, one of the most congresswomen in Congress.
Take it away.
joe biden
Minnesota, Texas, to help however they can.
And New York sent not only a congresswoman, one of the most congresswomen in the Congress, but a state troopers and emergency responders.
benny johnson
Got it.
Okay, so I think he's talking about AOC.
You remember when AOC went to Puerto Rico and took photos of her abuela's home and how it was leaking?
And then Matt Walsh from the Daily Wire did a GoFundMe, maybe something you donated to it.
And they raised $100,000 to fix Abuela's roof.
unidentified
And then they did it.
benny johnson
AOC didn't fix the roof.
AOC has tons of money.
AOC has tons of cash.
AOC is going to be the next Pelosi.
Filthy rich in Congress.
She's a fraud.
You all are suckers.
You're getting played by her, Bernie, the whole lot.
Bernie's got like seven houses.
Bernie is such a communist.
He's cashing in.
He's throwing the fight.
Bernie Sanders, he just runs against Hillary Clinton for the next book deal, right?
As soon as somebody hands him a bag, he drops out of the race, right?
Bernie didn't have any fight.
He's a fraud.
He's taken all the money.
AOC's taken all the money.
They're more capitalist than I am.
It's incredible.
Not even I am capitalist enough to lie about who I am, run for president in order to get a bag.
That's what Bernie Sanders and AOC are doing.
People aren't communists.
AOC lives, I know exactly where AOC lives.
She lives down the road here in one of the poshest, nicest, most expensive buildings in Washington, D.C. She drives an $80,000 Tesla.
This has been reported.
And she lives inside of like a penthouse.
What do you want from me?
These people aren't, they're lying to you.
You're being sold.
Not you.
If you're watching this show, you're probably smarter.
But if you are an open-minded liberal and you're thinking like Bernie and AOC, like have something going on.
No, they don't.
Go to Washington, D.C. and see how these people live.
Bernie Sanders got five houses.
One of Bernie Sanders' houses is on the way.
He's got a mansion.
This is Bernie.
Great story about Bernie here in Washington, D.C. The Monocle, which is a famous restaurant on Capitol Hill.
It's the only restaurant on Capitol Hill that's an old enough restaurant and a historic enough restaurant that they allowed it to stay on Capitol property.
And again, it's a total loophole because this is so close to the Senate and lobbyists can go there and take members of Congress out for dinner.
And so it's a famous place for that, right?
It's called the Monocle.
Waiters at the Monocle tell me that the number one person they'd never want to serve is Bernie Sanders.
They never tips.
That's what they've told me.
Like, time and time again.
Like, they do not want to serve Bernie Sanders because Bernie Sanders never, ever tips.
Never gives them a dime.
Because he's an old, dusty...
Krusty, socialist, communist, who actually hates the working man and woman, and everything he does is fraudulent, and everything that he does is to benefit Bernie Sanders, including but not limited to, like, taking a fall, being able to win the Democratic nomination, and getting paid enough money to just drop out, which is what he does every single time.
Okay?
It's the number one fraud perpetrated on leftists, and they're imbeciles for supporting guys like that.
And AOC.
So that's what Joe Biden had to say.
Let's just play.
My team has the corn pop clip.
Do you want to see just a few?
It's a two-minute clip.
Let's not play the whole thing.
Let's just see the first 30 seconds of Biden talking about how he nearly killed a young black man because he had too much pomade in his hair.
This is real.
Watch.
joe biden
And corn pop was a bad dude.
And he ran a bunch of bad boys.
And I did.
And back in those days, to show how things have changed, one of the things you had to use, if you use pomade in your hair, you had to wear a bathing cap.
And so he was up on the board, wouldn't listen to me.
I said, "Hey, Esther, you, off the board, or I'll come up and drag you off." Well, he came off, and he said, "I'll meet you outside." My car, this was mostly, these were all public housing behind it.
My car, there was a gate out here.
I parked my car outside the gate.
And he said, "I'll be waiting for you." He was waiting for three guys in straight racers.
Not a joke.
There's a guy named Bill Wright Mouse, the only white guy, and he did all the pulls.
He was the mechanic.
And I said, "What am I going to do?" He said, "Come down here in the basement where mechanics, where all the pull filter is." You know, the chain, there used to be a chain that went across the deep end.
And he cut off a six-foot length of chain.
He fold up.
He said, "You walk out with that chain." And you walk to the car and say, you may cut me, man, but I'm going to wrap this chain around your head.
I said, you're kidding me.
He said, no, if you don't, don't come back.
and he was right.
unidentified
What?
What?
How?
benny johnson
How is Joe Biden president of the United States right now?
How?
How?
By the way, let me know in the comments.
How is this man present in the United States?
I mean, literally, by the iron laws of wokeism and the leftist mind virus, how is a guy who just told, we just played it for you, a story about one calling, so he says Esther.
He calls him Esther there.
Well, that is essentially like a slur from back in the day about corn pop and the amount of pomade that he used in his hair.
I think that's referring to a famous black musician.
Correct me if I'm wrong here.
So one, he's making like a gendered slur.
The amount of iron laws of wokeism that Joe Biden broke in just that one clip.
One, he's going to commit an act of violence against a young black youth.
Two, he's making like gendered racial slurs against young black youth.
Three, he is talking about how...
He is having to essentially, like, be the racist lifeguard in a pool here and use rusty chains to go out back and hurt, use his white privilege to go hurt.
It's incredible.
I mean, it really is.
It really is remarkable.
And the reason why Joe Biden is president, we actually know, is because of places like CNN.
CNN and MSNBC and the corporate media, NBC, ABC and CBS, along with a number of other sites, acted as a super PAC for the Democratic Party.
And the super PAC's only and singular job was to protect and insulate Joe Biden and the American people from clips like this.
There's polls out that said that if people knew about Hunter Biden and Hunter Biden's laptop and Hunter Biden's corrupt business dealings, that they would have voted in such large numbers against Joe Biden that it would have swung the election for Donald Trump.
In spite of anything else you may think, that poll was done through the Media Research Center, I believe.
If I'm not correct.
And so it is imperative that you know that the corporate media acts as a super PAC for the Democrat Party to get Joe Biden elected.
This is why we are thrilled.
And that's also why you don't see that clip.
That should have been the number one clip.
That clip should have been played at the presidential debates.
That clip should have been played.
Hey, Joe Biden, what did you mean by this when you said that you're going to wrap a chain around Corn Pomp's neck because he wore too much pomade and pool?
What exactly did you mean by that?
Can you respond to this?
Wouldn't you love to see Joe Biden get asked just like a single question like that?
Donald Trump gets asked questions like that literally every single day.
Donald Trump gets asked, are you racist?
Why are you racist?
Every day, Donald Trump gets asked that question.
Every moment of every day.
Why are you Putin's puppet?
Like this is everything, every single day.
This is like what Donald Trump and every Republican has to do.
Joe Biden had a single harsh question.
They wouldn't call him Peter Doocy anymore at the White House.
We're like three blocks from the White House here.
We're going to go down there and wait until you see the documentary we're going to make a Washington, D.C. man.
You ain't seen nothing yet.
You ain't seen nothing yet.
Wait until you see what your capital city has become.
It's become this because the corporate press do lie.
They are a super PAC vertically integrated into the DNC in order to elect Democrats.
And it's time for that to end.
Donald Trump is suing CNN for $475 million.
This is from the New York Post.
Donald Trump's former...
I'm sorry.
Former President Donald Trump sued CNN for defamation on Monday, seeking $407 million in punitive damages, claiming the network has carried out a campaign of libel and slander against him.
Donald Trump would be right.
Trump claims in his lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
That is a very favorable district to file this lawsuit in.
Very good job.
This is the same district that Hulk Hogan filed his lawsuit against Gawker.
You remember Hulk Hogan had a sex tape.
Not there.
And Gawker refused to take it down.
And then Hulk Hogan took down Gawker.
Hulk Hogan.
What is the Hulk Hogan signature move?
You've got to help me out here.
Hulk Hogan Hulk smashed Gawker.
Okay?
He took them into the ring.
He took them into the octagon.
He snapped.
They're next.
They're no longer.
There's like Gawker doesn't exist anymore.
Hulk Hogan destroyed Gawker in this district.
So this is a very good district to file this lawsuit in.
That the network had used its influence as a leading news organization to defeat him politically, CNN declined to comment.
Trump, a Republican, claims a 29-page lawsuit that CNN has a long track record of criticizing him but ramped up his attack in the recent months because the network feared that he would run again in 2024 as part of a concerted effort to tilt the political balance of the left.
CNN has tried to taint the plaintiff with a series of ever more scandalous false and defamatory Libels as racist, Russian lackey, insurrectionist, and ultimately Hitler, the lawsuit claimed, calling Donald Trump Hitler.
Here's a clip on the news about the lawsuit.
unidentified
President Trump has sued CNN for defamation, seeking $475 million in damages from CNN.
The court filing states as a part of its concerted effort to tilt the political balance to the left, CNN has tried to taint the plaintiff with a series of ever more scandalous, false and defamatory labels of racist, Russian lackey, insurrectionist and ultimately Hitler.
That's from the court filing.
Thank you.
benny johnson
Will Donald Trump win?
Well, let's talk about it, okay?
Will Donald Trump win?
What is Donald Trump going for here?
Donald Trump is going for probably a settlement.
Which is the same settlement that Nick Sandman got.
Now, Nick Sandman is an innocent teenager, 16-year-old, who stood a couple blocks down the street here, and he had a MAGA hat on.
He was there for the March for Life.
A bunch of Catholic students come here to D.C. every single year for the March for Life.
And Nick Sandman was standing on the Lincoln Memorial, and he was doing his thing.
Now, some protester, some Native American protester, banged a drum in his face.
Okay?
And then this was turned in.
I mean, it really is remarkable to go back and look at the footage.
There was no physical confrontation.
No one laid hands on anyone else.
Nobody did anything.
Nick Sandman stood there and smiled.
And by the way, that smile is now worth, I think, many millions of dollars.
Nobody knows the exact number that CNN paid Nick Sandman.
They slurred and slandered and defamed this kid so badly.
Nick Sandman did a settlement with CNN for the defamation.
And got paid out huge.
This was allegedly a seven or eight figure settlement.
No one quite knows.
Maybe ALX on our staff knows.
He's good friends with Nick.
One of these days, ALX will tell us.
But nonetheless, Nick Salmon is smirking all the way to the bank because CNN defamed him.
I think this is what Donald Trump's going for.
Suing for $475 million.
Half a billion dollars.
Half a billion bucks.
So that's what CNN is facing right now.
CNN declining to comment.
CNN under new ownership.
We'll see what happens, man.
We'll see what happens.
There are new owners.
Time Warner, which owns CNN, was sold to Discovery Network.
And Discovery's main shareholder is a Trump supporter.
And so we'll see what happens in the future.
This could be a massive, massive settlement for Donald Trump and lead to much better coverage of Donald Trump.
From CNN.
Just fair coverage.
That's all that anyone wants.
Just fair, fair coverage.
I'm like a pundit, okay?
I have an opinion show.
I tell you my opinions.
I hope that, like, it's entertaining.
But I don't pretend to be straight news.
CNN pretends to be straight news while doing far more salacious.
I mean, we do, like, big headlines, big cover images, you know, eyes blown out in the media, you know, like memes.
All throughout the show, CNN is more comical, more clownish and comical and exaggerated than this show is.
And we try to be entertaining.
We try to keep things light and optimistic around here.
CNN does more clown show stuff than we could ever dream of.
And they masquerade as real news.
They go around and masquerade as hard news.
This is what CNN does.
And this is why we're so thrilled that Ron DeSantis is actually ending the careers of CNN reporters on camera.
Ron DeSantis in Florida, in a disaster zone, CNN comes up to try and push their garbage on Ron DeSantis, and Ron DeSantis goes, Hulk Hogan leg drop!
The Hulk Hogan leg drop!
Yes, you all said it.
You told me.
I read the comments.
The Hulk Hogan leg drop.
Baby, if you want to see the DeSantis leg drop, CNN, out like a light, baby.
DeSantis with the belt!
Take it away.

Why do you stand behind Lee County's decision to not have that mandatory evacuation until the day before the storm?
ron desantis
Well, where was your industry station when the storm hit?
Were you guys in Lee County?
No, you were in Tampa.
So they were following the weather track, and they had to make decisions based on that.
But 72 hours, they weren't even in the cone.
48 hours, they were on the periphery.
So you've got to make the decisions the best you can.
I will say, they delivered the message to people.
They had shelters open.
Everybody had adequate opportunity to at least get to a shelter within the county.
But you know a lot of the residents did not did not want to do that.
I think for probably for various reasons Some people just don't want to leave their home period their island people whatever But I think part of it was so much attention was paid to Tampa that I think a lot of them probably thought that they wouldn't get the worst of it So, you know they but they did and I think it's it's easy to second-guess them But they were ready for the whole time and and made that call when when there was justifiable to do so Well, did you?
benny johnson
Well, where was your industry when the storm hit?
Where were you guys in this county?
You were in Tampa, DeSantis countered.
They were following the weather track and they had to make decisions based on that.
One of the legendary weathermen in Tampa likened the hurricane to like a car where if you just tap, if you tap the steering wheel of a car, if you fall asleep at the wheel, if you fall asleep at the wheel, the car's not going to go straight.
The car is going to veer, right?
You just have to tap the wheel and the car will just zoop.
It'll just naturally go like this.
And the hurricanes do that when they make landfall.
Just a little tap and they kind of spin out of control.
It's this big, heavy, moving thing that moves through the atmosphere and it sort of like spins out.
And that's what happens when a hurricane makes landfall.
It's a very neat allegory that a weatherman used in Tampa.
And so many people thought the hurricane was going to strike Tampa.
That's my hometown.
That's why I canceled the tour stops and was home with my family and we sandbagged our house and we were ready to go.
And that hurricane ended up not hitting Tampa or hitting Tampa just a little bit and ended up going south by two hours to Fort Myers.
So Ron DeSantis sitting there, BTFOing CNN right to their faces.
And it's a really beautiful thing.
A lot of residents did not want to do that.
I think probably for various reasons.
Some people, speaking about evacuating, just didn't want to leave their homes.
And you know what?
That's literally their right as an American citizen.
There was a mandatory evacuation in Tampa.
My parents stayed with me for three days.
My parents were mandatory evacuated.
They decided to mandatory evacuate.
The people in their condo building, like, half the people decided not to.
What are you going to do?
Go door-to-door with guns?
Like, and force them to evacuate?
You're going to have to, like, explain to me what constitutional right you have to violate their Fourth Amendment and go do that.
And, you know, in Florida, there's a thing called Constitution still exists.
By the way, people also have a constitutional right, a Second Amendment owner, to, Second Amendment, to defend themselves.
From undue government presence inside of their home.
What I'm saying here is that the Constitution lives in Florida.
And so you can't just go rip people out of their home, freedom of assembly.
You've got to have a process here.
So Ron DeSantis is completely correct.
Ron DeSantis has been correct.
This is why you're not seeing the left attack him on this.
They know that Ron DeSantis' response here has been gold, and it is having a major effect even on Democrats in the state.
Check out this footage of two Democrat voters saying how excited they are to vote for Ron DeSantis as heads explode in the corporate press.
unidentified
I don't know about DeSantis, but that gas is here in Arcadia.
joe biden
It's in Arcadia.
unidentified
I don't know why the rest of y'all, but it's here in Arcadia.
So y'all know who we vote for.
I don't know why the rest of you don't vote for DeSantis.
And I'm a Democrat.
So y'all can call it when the We got children out here.
joe biden
Okay, I'm sorry, man.
unidentified
I'm sorry.
benny johnson
Okay, the rest of you MFers.
We try as hard as we can not to swear on this show, do a family show, but I'm just quoting the man.
Y 'all can vote for someone else.
I'm voting for Ron DeSantis, and I am a Democrat.
That's what the man said.
He's laughing, and the reporter's like, camera shaking.
Ah, we can't broadcast this!
By the way, my neighborhood in my city is majority Latino.
You know, majority Cuban is Tampa.
I mean, there's a huge Cuban population in Tampa.
I don't know a single one of my neighbors who is voting.
They love Ron DeSantis.
There's Ron DeSantis signs all over our neighborhood, in the yards.
These people are voting for Ron DeSantis.
Ron DeSantis is probably going to overwhelmingly win the Latino vote in the state of Florida.
It's going to be an incredible election, and it happens here in, what, 30 days?
How far away is the election?
40 days?
Incredible, incredible stuff.
I did want to throw up on screen a beautiful meme of Donald Trump dropping the leg drop on CNN.
There we go, baby.
475 mil in the defamation case.
There it is.
unidentified
Boom!
benny johnson
The Hulk leg drop.
He's got you, baby.
There it goes.
This is the fastest meme team around on the show.
Again, we appreciate you watching.
I wonder if that man in the last clip, I wonder if that man in the last clip that says he didn't care, he's a Democrat, he's voting for DeSantis.
I wonder if this guy would wear also the shirt that Kanye West and Candace Owens wore yesterday at a fashion show.
White Lives Matter t-shirt during Surprise Yeezy fashion show.
Joined by Candace Owens.
This according to the Daily Mail.
Here we go.
Candace Owens and Kanye West.
That's who's in the image right now on screen.
White Lives Matter.
This also made the rounds on Twitter.
This is the images on Twitter.
White Lives Matter.
This is Kanye West.
Again, one of the most successful rappers.
Nay, I say, maybe the most culturally impactful rapper just by sheer dominance of cultural impact in American history.
Come on, it's like impossible to argue.
And here he is saying that statement.
We talked about this last night on TimCast IRL about how, like, wait a second, you know, what this really is stating and this is, you know, this is trying.
This is making a statement, Kanye West saying that BLM is a scam.
Kanye West posted on his Instagram story, BLM is a scam.
Everyone knows it.
Candace Owens has gone to Patrice Collure's home.
BLM has used, again, like, go ahead.
The proof, you know, okay, so as Joe Biden would say, the proof of the pudding is in the eating, right?
Like, I'm no more old than a fly.
What?
Like, listen, guys, how are you spending your money?
What are you doing for black people?
How about you start there?
Let's begin.
Okay?
Like, again, I know I've talked a lot about D.C., but it's just my first time back in over a year since I moved.
It is just unbelievable, the decrepitness of this city.
And I used to live here for 15 years, and I lived on a street where I was the only white dude on this street, 19th Street.
And I coached football, and we tried as hard as we could.
Kate and I lived there for five years.
We tried as hard as we could to be part of the community, support people in the community, and just be like good Christians and love on our brothers and sisters in that community.
You know, I know that those people knew that white lives matter because, quite frankly, they were wonderful neighbors to us.
They knew that all lives matter.
They loved my little baby.
You know, we brought Eloise home to that neighborhood.
They love my little babies.
You know, I think that what they're trying to do is make a point here that, one, as Kanye says, BLM is a scam because BLM didn't do a single good thing for my neighborhood.
In fact, the BLM riots led to death and destruction.
We've played the clips many times of people literally...
Dying in my front yard, getting shot.
I mean, I have it on my camera.
People are getting shot because they defunded the police, because they made the police unable to police.
The police forced, like, mass resignations in Washington, D.C. They can't fill their slots.
D.C. has actually increased their funding for cops.
LOL.
And I'm on a street that has still painted on it, Black Lives Matter.
It used to have, at the very end, defund the police.
Interesting how they paved that over.
They got rid of that real fast.
Because people started dying in my neighborhood.
You know who's mostly affected?
The crime, the chaos, the horror.
The thing that led to me leaving here was the drug.
I lived in Row House.
The houses are connected to each other.
The drug house, the known drug house that was next to me.
I don't care.
I mean, whatever, man.
You know, yo, like, don't bother my family.
That house got lit on fire.
And that caused fire to, like, pummel my house and pour into my home and lit my home on fire with my baby inside.
That's what BLM did for my life and my family.
That's what BLM, that's what the BLM riots did for me.
Nearly killed my kid, killed multiple kids on my block, and so I totally agree with Candace and Kanye.
They're putting out this statement that should be totally okay with everyone.
This is a statement that should, that really reflects the idea that God created all people.
It reflects the founding of this country.
That all men are created equal.
And they are created by God.
And that God gives all men and women value.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with stating that.
Asian, Irish, Indian, black, white, what is wrong with this?
Why the dehumanization?
If you have a problem with this, then you're there to dehumanize and divide.
To curse and disconnect.
To hurt this nation.
And shame on you, quite frankly.
And good for Kanye and good for Candace for coming out and just essentially just coming out and saying this.
They're clearly trying to make a statement here.
Kanye West made a statement in his surprise Yeezy fashion show in Paris wearing a black sweatshirt with White Lives Matter written across it.
Posing with West was right-wing commentator Candace Owens who beamed.
While wearing a commentary version of the White Lives Matter, a complimentary version of the White Lives Matter shirt, what that means is they were different colors, white and black.
Kanye's daughter, Northwest Nine, was even roped into the event.
Kanye West also posted on his Instagram story, BLM is a scam.
BLM is a scam.
BLM spent zero dollars.
on making my old neighborhood safer for black people or encouraging the people in my old neighborhood to live better lives or to have better opportunities.
You know who did provide great opportunities for the people in my neighborhood?
A drug dealer named Wellington who was just like a young man who had a, you know, he caught a case.
He has a rap sheet.
Young man who stood in the corner, he sold weed.
Okay?
Wellington, not the brightest bulb in the box.
All right?
Broken home, bad home, and that's just Wellington's.
Wellington's story was going to be the drug dealer on the street until Donald Trump's economy.
Donald Trump's economy was so roaring that even the Denny's down at the end of the block decided to hire Wellington as a greeter.
So Wellington comes home one day, bounding down the street, weed falling out of his pocket, in his Denny's outfit, hugging Kate and I, saying how excited he was that he finally got hired.
It was finally able to get a job.
This is how in-demand workers were in Donald Trump's economy.
Remember when unemployment was at 0%?
Remember when Donald Trump's economy was roaring 2018-2019?
Remember when Donald Trump flipped the globalist narrative and created a booming economy here in America and created actual jobs here in America?
It was like Camelot was happening.
Then, of course, COVID.
I mean, they couldn't allow it, right?
Can't allow it.
Can't allow guys like Wellington to have a chance.
That guy's got to be cursed to the system.
That guy's got to be controlled.
If Wellington got a job, he'd start thinking for himself.
And maybe he wouldn't believe all the slogans.
Maybe we wouldn't be angry all the time.
All right?
Live in the pod, eat the bugs.
That's what they want for Wellington.
People are absolutely sick.
Donald Trump was one of the best things to ever happen to my neighborhood.
And everyone knew it.
Everyone knew it.
Everyone knew it.
There were a number of very closeted Trump supporters in my neighborhood who had never voted for a Republican for, and man, they were excited to vote for Trump.
But what happened?
Oh, well, we must destroy Wellington's prospects.
We want to shut down the Denny's.
We have to shut down any opportunity that poor Wellington had to do a level jump in life and to get his American dream by...
Funding the research, the type of research that leads to the creation of COVID.
This is called the genetic engineering of viruses.
This was done mainly by a guy named Peter Daszak in the EcoHealth Alliance.
They did this research in China because it is illegal.
It's called gain-of-function research.
It creates and makes more deadly pathogens.
This Peter Daszak guy is the guy who went to the Lancet and lied and got a bunch of scientists to lie about the origins of COVID.
This scumbag should be in the Hague, should be in jail for the rest of his life.
Instead, he's getting bags of cash.
He's getting more money to go do more Frankenstein experiments.
You want to know how completely effed our system is, guys?
This is how we get here.
Scientists who tried to squash Wuhan lab leak theory gets more cash to study viruses.
New shadowy NYC nonprofit run by the scientists who tried to squelch the theory that COVID-19 emerged from a Chinese lab has received millions more from National Institutes of Health to study similar viruses in Southeast Asia.
A $600,000 grant goes to Peter Daszak's EcoHealth Alliance, awarded September 21st, being administered by the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
whose director, Dr. Fauci, announced in August that he was stepping down at the end of the year.
The grant is the first installment of a five-year award, totaling $3.3 million, and has been doled out on the same day NAID awarded EcoHealth more than $2 million for two more ongoing studies.
Guys, guys, we've got to win.
You have to win.
You have to stop this stuff.
We have to stop this stuff.
The way that you stop it is you take the congressional funding power that Congress has and grab these guys by the nuts and you squeeze and you say you will get not a single dollar more until you defund and then we investigate Peter Daszak and then we put Peter Daszak in jail along with Dr. Fauci.
That's how it ends.
This is how it ends.
We must win.
Here's what Tucker Carlson has to say about it.
tucker carlson
Just before COVID began spreading around the world and shutting the world down.
A researcher called Peter Daszak bragged about manipulating coronaviruses in a lab.
Now, at the time, Daszak's nonprofit called EcoHealth Alliance was being funded by Tony Fauci's agency, the U.S. government, your tax dollars, to conduct these experiments.
peter daszak
Coronaviruses are pretty good, I mean, you're a neurologist, you know all this stuff, but you can manipulate them in the lab pretty easily.
It's just spike protein drives a lot of what happens with the coronavirus, zoonotic risk.
So you can get the sequence, you can build the protein, and we work with Ralph Baric at UNC to do this.
Insert it into the backbone of another virus and do some work in the lab.
tucker carlson
Now, since that interview, we have learned that it is very possible, indeed, it's likely that Coronavirus, COVID, leaked from a lab in Wuhan.
In fact, the same lab where Peter Daszak was conducting experiments on bat coronavirus.
The National Institutes of Health have just issued a new grant to the research firm Equal Health Alliance.
The point of the grant, again, you can't make this up, to study bat coronaviruses.
benny johnson
Again, ladies and gentlemen, use Occam's razor.
We always use it on this show.
We don't pretend to be the smartest, most genius PhD people.
We didn't go to the Ivy Leagues, all right?
We probably grew up just like you did.
We grew up in farmland country in Iowa in literally the middle of nowhere, a place called Solon, Iowa is where I'm from.
So that's where we grew up.
I had a dog just like everyone else, and we just went to public school.
I went to community college.
So we try and find the simplest solution for the things that are happening around us.
And Occam's Razor says, yo, listen, the conclusion with the least number of assumptions, that's the one that you should probably go with.
So the least number of assumptions as to where COVID originated from, if there is no natural origin, which they, of course, have ravenously tried to find and cannot find.
They spent billions of dollars trying to find a natural origin, cover their asses.
They go to the lady who does bat coronaviruses.
We know that the COVID origin.
Sequence is a bat coronavirus.
Specifically the horseshoe bat in these caves in China.
And that this lady was working with these people who are being paid by the federal government in order to create these Frankenstein viruses and add spike proteins.
And as you saw in the clip there, Peter Daszak talking about how easy it is to add spike proteins to coronaviruses and make them deadly pathogens.
The least number of assumptions.
And before Jon Stewart went completely woke, he had an incredible line about this.
Where he's like, wait a second.
I mean, like, can we just say it came from a Wuhan lab?
If there was a giant chocolate...
What is the analogy you use?
If there was a giant chocolate tsunami in Hershey, Pennsylvania, wouldn't people think the Hershey's plant is responsible for this?
They make chocolate?
That's what the Wuhan laboratory did.
They made Frankenstein viruses deadly.
It was funded by the Chinese military.
It was funded in part by Dr. Fauci.
Dr. Fauci should go to prison for this, and we should have a reckoning in this country.
Instead, we're still fighting it.
We gotta win.
Gotta win.
Otherwise, it's all gonna happen again.
They're setting it all up again, ladies and gentlemen.
Use Occam's razor.
Be smart.
Being smart is what Elon Musk tried to do, saying that, hey, maybe we should have a negotiated peace and not nuclear war.
Maybe nuclear war would be very bad for people with this Ukraine-Russia situation escalating far outside of our reaches.
But, yo, Elon Musk just simply questioned.
Nuclear war, it's a bad thing?
And he got destroyed yesterday by Ukraine itself.
In case you're wondering if there are actually no good guys in this fight, let me make this very clear what this show's stance is.
And if you disagree, then you're not going to like our coverage because I know that the story is going to really spiral out of control.
You see what they're planning on doing here.
Everybody is pushing for war.
Everyone is pushing towards more escalation.
No one.
No one in our leadership structure is asking for de-escalation.
So what's going to happen?
It's just gonna be like World War I. The idiots are in charge.
It's gonna spiral out of control.
It's gonna mean a horrible thing for your life.
It's gonna mean third world living conditions for the rest of us.
So this is what's happening right now.
Elon Musk, being a very smart man, is like, yo, maybe we shouldn't have World War III.
Maybe we shouldn't have nuclear war.
And even the Ukrainian president started attacking.
Elon Musk for simply stating we shouldn't have World War III.
This according to the New York Post.
Elon Musk took to Twitter to propose a compromise that would end the Russian invasion of Ukraine, sparking outrage among Twitter users.
unidentified
What?
benny johnson
Elon Musk is saying, the Tesla CEO saying yes or no survey on Twitter, which instructed his own ideas for how to end the impasse in Eastern Europe.
He was dragged.
On the platform for saying that we shouldn't have nuclear war.
Musk called for a redo of elections of annexed regions under UN supervision.
Russia leaves if the will of the people says that they are not allowed to stay.
Russian President Voldemort Zelensky then tweeted a poll of his own.
Which Elon Musk do you like?
Voldemort Zelensky said.
Elon Musk that is for Ukraine or Elon Musk that is for Russia?
unidentified
This is what the tweet looked like.
benny johnson
So, F off is my very diplomatic reply, tweeted a Ukrainian diplomat.
And Dreher Malinsky, F off.
Got it.
So Elon Musk is trying to avoid nuclear war, and the powers that be in both America and Ukraine told him to F off.
Where are the people calling for de-escalation?
Where are the politicians on any side?
Where are the religious leaders?
Where's the damn Pope?
Where are the people, the religious leaders of supposedly Christian Russia, like saying that nuclear war is evil and we should not do this?
And that everyone needs to calm down now.
And everybody asking for the desolation of humanity needs to stop and take a giant step back from the brink.
Where are those people?
We need more of those people.
Because it's going, like, you've seen what they do to D.C. You're going to see it in a little documentary that we released soon.
You've seen what they do to D.C. They're going to do this to your hometown.
It's going to look like a shantytown like D.C. does.
They're going to plunge us into nuclear war.
They're going to ratchet up because war is always a good thing for the people in power and tell us if it's a very bad thing.
War was great for the monarchies of Europe for like a short period of time to get the nationalistic and jingoistic and the money and the people moving and then it just decimated.
Europe was never the same again.
Just decimated Europe.
Wow.
So according to ALX here, according to ALX, who you should follow on Getter and Truth Social, our producer of this show, Elon Musk makes proposal to proceed with deal to buy Twitter.
Wow.
Trading of Twitter shares halted.
There we go.
Boom.
Boom.
Baby.
Come on, baby.
Elon Musk is going to buy Twitter.
He's going to do it.
Buy Twitter at $54.
Isn't that the same deal that he already struck ALX?
Buy Twitter at $54.20 a share.
So it's the same.
So Elon Musk is going to buy Twitter.
Here we go.
Breaking news.
Elon Musk will buy Twitter.
And hopefully stop World War III.
Maybe this is the thing that does it.
Zelensky trolling him.
What kind of a president tweets something like that?
Dude, you and your people are facing nuclear holocaust.
And you are going to, like, play Twitter games with Elon Musk?
You're going to tweet polls?
Which you should be doing.
Is protecting the Poles, who, like, Poland could be one of the first countries nuked.
You shouldn't be tweeting Poles.
You should be protecting Polish people.
All people.
Nobody wants this.
Russia was there, like, Putin was out there on Friday banging his fist promising nuclear war.
Yo, I don't think Putin's a good guy.
I think Putin's an evil guy.
But I think also, like, are we the baddies?
We have the clip.
You need to start asking yourself, are we the baddies?
Here's a clip.
unidentified
I don't have hands.
Thanks.
Are we the baddies?
benny johnson
Yeah.
Listen, you know what?
I'll make a statement on this show.
Okay, here we go.
Yes, we are the baddies.
If we are not de-escalating, any person who is not actively de-escalating right now, this conflict is the baddie.
Any person who wants nuclear war is the baddie.
And if Joe Biden and every member of Congress and every person stops, if we stopped funding the war right now, there would be a peace agreement.
If we stopped our funding of this conflict right now, there'd be a peace agreement.
I don't know what that would look like.
I'm no top diplomat.
But I can tell you this, peace is better than the nuclear holocaust.
And so, whatever that ends up negotiating to look like, that's what it should be.
It should not be nuclear weapons dropping.
And an all-out nuclear war that devastates humanity.
For the rest of our lives.
Because once you poison the ground with radiation, stuff doesn't come back.
Check in on Chernobyl.
You still can't live there.
That happened, like, in 1986, the year I was born, 36 years ago.
People still can't live in Chernobyl.
By the way, nuclear devastation that happened in Ukraine.
Don't these people understand?
They were all around.
You forgot?
Chernobyl's in Ukraine.
This was, by proxy, a nuclear detonation of a nuclear plant in Ukraine at the hands of the Russians, the Russian scientists who were running this, and you still can't live in, like, thousands of miles of Ukraine.
Because of this radiation.
You want that to be your whole country?
This is, I mean, it's insane.
It's insane.
So yes, we're the baddies.
If you are the baddie, if you're not calling for de-escalation right now.
Nobody wants to live in this.
Nobody wants this war.
Nobody wants, nobody cares, like, listen, nobody cares about your pride or your escalation or stupid Twitter poll.
End the war.
End this stuff.
American Congress should stop funding it.
Everyone should come to the agreement table and everyone should, like, walk away.
Okay?
And Ukraine should just become like a...
Independent state.
I think Ukraine should become like Switzerland.
It should become like an independent state.
Like a buffer state.
That's what should actually happen.
That's what a reasonable, rational person should do.
Tell your pastor.
Tell your priest.
Tell your religious leaders.
Tell the Pope.
That's what needs to happen.
That's how we actually save.
You want to save the planet?
Well, that's how you do it.
And also Elon Musk buying Twitter.
That's also how you do it.
And tuning into this show.
God, family, country.
That's what we do on this show every single day.
That's our motivation.
That is what we're here for.
Elon Musk is here to buy Twitter.
Nice.
We stream live on Twitter.
Thank you, Elon Musk.
We're born.
Free men and women.
And we're going to stay that way.
And we're going to stay that way because we communicate and we build a movement every single day.
So we thank you for watching TimCast last night.
Tim Pool is a very, very rad dude.
We enjoy the...
We're really thrilled about the growth of this show.
And we thank you very much for watching.
My name is Benny Johnson and this is The Benny Show.
