But Chairman Jim Jordan laid into the Attorney General accusing the department of running out the clock to avoid charging the first son with tax crimes.
My name is Benny Johnson, and this is The Benny Show.
We've been offline for a week.
In fact, I promised you exactly one week ago at this very second that I may be having my third child at any moment.
I got a phone call.
I gotta go to the hospital.
I got a phone call, and boom!
We were out of here, right?
If you're a husband, if you are a husband in waiting, you are aware that at any moment, you could get the phone call.
Especially if your wife is full term.
My wife was full term.
Praise God.
And I got that phone call.
And so, I was out.
Now, I...
I promised you that that would lead to me, of course, not doing the show for a week, and we've taken the week, and then we're going to take a little bit more time.
We're going to take time here and there, because I've got to tell you, we made it to the hospital just in time.
Just in time.
I'm not the kind of man who wants to do a home birth.
I'm not the kind of man who wants to deliver the baby myself.
I feel like I have a pretty good and solid constitution.
But there are some things, some mysteries that are best left between the doctors and God and my wife.
But I was there by her side at the hospital.
And boy, we had a boy in seconds after arriving.
Please welcome Theodore Andrew.
Johnson.
A good strong name.
Not a family name.
Except for the Johnson, of course.
A name that means Divine Gift of Masculine Strength.
That's what Theodore Andrew Johnson means.
So this is baby Theodore.
This is my family meeting him for the first time.
Those are my daughters, Eloise and Juliet, and my wife in the hospital there.
And I love the fact that there's a crucifix above the door as well.
A blessing from God.
And we can report that Theodore is a strong eater.
Was eight pounds and has even gained weight since being born, which is quite rare.
Theodore was brought home a couple of days ago, and it has been a very pleasant and wonderful couple of days.
Theodore even has American flag hat.
Had American hat swag.
American flag hat swag in the hospital.
This was him.
Look at that.
Look at that little master.
Mr. Theodore.
So Theo, Teddy, not sure what we're going to call him.
Like Theo is being worked around.
People like Teddy.
My middle child there is Juliet.
This is a photo from this morning before heading into the studio.
And the girls are just loving being older sisters and having a baby brother.
Juliet loves stuffed animals.
And so she's my middle one right there, the brunette.
And so she likes calling him Teddy.
I think Teddy's going to stick for her.
Older sister likes calling him Theo.
We'll see.
Happy, happy young man.
Loves to eat.
Loves to sleep.
Mom is doing great.
Nurse Kate's doing spectacular.
No complications.
Praise God.
Baby is healthy.
Mom is healthy.
So praise God.
Thank you to all the prayer warriors and all the people in the comment section who are praying for us, all the members of the brigade.
I suppose I'll pause here for just a...
For just a moment, to get philosophical, I'm a Christian.
I believe in God.
I fear God.
I believe in my creator.
I also know that there's evil in this world.
And there's nothing more profound in life than welcoming a child onto this planet.
If you've had the joy of that experience, then God bless you.
The curtain of heaven opens and an angel is delivered to your arms.
And it is impossible to not be emotional.
I have cried at the birth of every one of my children for various degrees of time.
My first childhood, I was a basket case.
Because you are overcome with the emotion of the great beyond.
And the providential nature of God's blessing, that he gives you the capacity to raise his most precious gift, which is children.
And he's entrusted you with children.
There's a Proverbs about a young warrior having arrows in his quiver, and so that is like a man who has many children.
And I feel like my quiver is getting quite full.
I'm running out of arm space for my kids.
I don't know if we'll have more kids.
I'd love to have more kids.
I'd love to have ten.
I'm not sure if that's in the cards.
And I'll get an earful from Nurse Kate if she's watching.
She's like, I can't have more kids!
It's just a true, profound joy and a gift.
And we fear God, and we know that God has given us these children to raise.
And I'll end by saying this.
I'm typically not self-referential and don't do a monologue on my family to start off the show, but I'll say this.
The purpose of this community and the purpose of what we're building here is because of my children.
There is...
You ain't no man if you ain't got land, right?
And if you don't have a stake in this...
And if you don't have anything to live for and you have nothing to fight for, well, then you're going to make a bad warrior.
I am a happy warrior.
And I march with my children on my shield.
Well, at least, like, the image, not my children physically on my shield, but like, the images of my children are in my head at all times.
Like, the thought, the symbol of them, the thought of them, the responsibility weighs on my shoulder.
And that is why we do this.
That is why we built this company.
And it's going great!
It's the fastest growing independent news show on the internet.
This is the fastest growing independent audience on the internet.
And you deserve to know.
You deserve my honesty in all things.
You deserve to know who I am and what drives me.
And this is it.
Look no further than these children here, than my marriage with my wife and the raising of these children and the creation of a country that I wish for them to grow up in.
That's what the purpose of this program is, that that's it.
All of our social media, all of our posting are nearly 10 million audience, 10 million person audience across all social media.
That's why.
This is the why.
And it's a damn good why.
In my experience.
And all the parents out there, shout out to you.
God bless you.
Raise your hand in the comment section if you yourself are a parent, if you're a grandparent.
And if you feel that responsibility, then you're probably in this audience for that exact reason.
And if you're a young man or a young woman watching this, then I encourage you, fall in love.
Get married.
Have children.
And experience the purpose that God gives and the meaning that God gives to your life when you bring in the most precious of these gifts that He can possibly give to you.
I encourage you to do that.
You'll never know true purpose and profound joy than just taking a walk down the street with your newborn.
And if you have other kids running around the bassinet, then that's even better.
And that's what I did for the last seven days.
Final thing I'll say on this.
Final thing I'll say.
You know, Christ calls on us to protect these children and to protect these kids.
And if you harm one of the hairs on one of these children, it's better for a giant rock to be put on your neck and for you to be thrown into the sea.
And darn it, do I believe that.
And so we are here to protect the kids.
We are here to protect their futures.
We are here to protect them, born and unborn.
And we are here to fight those who wish to harm these children by either harming them directly, and there's no shortage of that degeneracy in our society, or harming their future by making this a worse country.
And by destroying this place.
That is what we fight.
That is our mission.
That is our noble goal on this program.
And so God bless all of you.
Let's get to the program here.
Man, I love you.
Thank you for all of your messages and thank you for all of your support in this time.
Such a special time.

All right.
Ladies and gentlemen, some things happened while we were offline.
And we'll go home, and it'll be like 6pm at night, and some nuclear bombshell will drop, right?
I have to run into this little ramshackle office I have set up at home, and we record.
It's terrible lighting.
We do our best.
But if you miss an hour, then you're behind.
If you miss a...
Then you've missed a lot.
And so it's going to be impossible to cover everything that's happened in this week.
Some of it's great.
Some of it bad.
Some of it good.
Some of it wrong.
We're going to do our best on this program.
Of course, we have Jim Jordan joining us quite soon.
And so we'll start with, I think, the biggest top line thing that we missed, which is Republicans are about to impeach Joe Biden, meaning they're about to begin impeachment inquiry.
Next Thursday, House Republicans will hold their first hearing in the impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden next Thursday.
They plan to subpoena the president's son, Hunter, and his brother, James Biden's bank records.
This will inevitably show that they intermixed all of their money, that all of this money, of course, went to the big guy, Joe Biden.
The GOP has accused Biden of corruption.
And abuse of power over his alleged link to Hunter Biden's foreign business deals, of course.
We have enumerated that.
Republicans say bank records show that Biden family associates raked in more than $20 million from China, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Romania.
That's, of course, a fortune.
There are WhatsApp messages that Hunter Biden sent to associates claiming Joe was in the room while they were discussing his business dealings.
And of course, 10% held by Hunter for the big guy.
The committee intends to subpoena Hunter Biden and James Biden's personal bank and business records as early as this week.
The Oversight Committee will continue to follow the evidence of the money trail that it provides transparency and accountability to Americans who demand that from their government.
So, this issue is not going away.
And somebody who really wishes it would go away, like, immediately is Mr. Merrick Garland.
This is Joe Biden's personal attorney.
Merrick Garland's like a mob lawyer.
He's like an embittered old woman sitting in a nursing home who had a bad life and got some bad breaks, and she's just all twisted and angry.
Post-menopausal, estrogen-filled, soy-filled Merrick Garland is butt-hurt.
Through eternity, beyond our solar system, because he didn't get on the Supreme Court.
He was supposed to be the guy, Mr. Slip It In, slide right in there, the end of Obama's term, right?
There was a horrible tragedy where Antonin Scalia passed away, quite unexpectedly, and Merrick Garland was put up as Mr. Moderate, Mr. Moderation, to go in and take that seat, and he was blocked.
And this is something that was done that we deeply agree with Mitch McConnell on.
We agree we could count on one hand the number of things we agree with Mitch McConnell on.
Maybe even one finger.
But this was it!
And he blocked this vicious, angry, embittered, cortisol-filled, pearl-clutching woman from being a nasty, nasty woman.
As Donald Trump would say, from being on the Supreme Court, and that was a good move.
As demonstrated yesterday, Merrick Garland is unfit for any judgeship or any position inside of our federal government.
He couldn't answer basic questions.
He lied multiple times under oath.
It was an absolute cluster.
How do you know it's a cluster?
Because the corporate press won't cover any of it.
That's how bad it was.
If he had got a real zinger in there, really like...
Pushed back on Republicans, then they would have published it, they would have splattered it all over.
You haven't heard anything about it, have you?
Because it was a nightmare, and we're going to detail for you exactly how bad it was.
Merrick Garland, from the get, asked, why are you acting as the mob lawyer for Joe Biden?
And the cortisol-filled, estrogen-filled, post-menopausal Merrick Garland started to sob and cry, I'm not the president's lawyer!
I'm not the president's lawyer, says the guy who stopped the president from being charged, who let the statute of limitations lapse.
On all of the charges that could have led to Joe Biden, who needed whistleblowers to come forward from the IRS in order to get anything done, any charges, a sweetheart deal that was crafted as a pocket pardon for Hunter Biden blew up because the president's son is just a dumbass.
There's just no other way to say it.
The hubris of these people will be their undoing.
Matt Gaetz asking about Biden's bribes.
Why are there bank records with multi-millions of dollars flowing through them from foreign countries, from our adversaries?
So here's how it works with the charging of Hunter Biden.
And if there's one smart thing the Bidens did, one smart thing the Bidens did is that they committed crimes in dark blue areas.
And in these dark blue areas, you can shackle the actual prosecutor.
So David Weiss, who I am unsure of if he is a hero or villain, So David Weiss had no power unless the attorneys in California Hmm, very smart.
And D.C., oh, very smart, chose to charge with him.
And that didn't happen.
Jim Jordan, who will be joining the program momentarily, asked about that, saying, wait a second, isn't this, especially the prosecutor in D.C., isn't this you just straight up admitting that you stopped the Hunter Biden investigation and the charging of Hunter Biden?
Mr. Garland, have you or are you investigating who leaked the information that appeared in the Washington Post on October 6, 2022, about this investigation, about the Hunter Biden investigation?
have you had personal contact with anyone at fbi headquarters about the hunter biden investigation uh I don't recollect the answer to that question, but the FBI works for the Justice Department.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
You don't recollect whether you've talked with anybody at FBI headquarters about an investigation of the president's son?
I promised the Senate when I came before it for confirmation that I would leave Mr. Weiss in place and that I would not interfere with his investigation.
Hillary Clinton was in the White House for 9 of those times.
No one knows if she was filming.
And you have a deposition with Bill Clinton.
And Bill Clinton said, I don't remember what the definition of is is.
Depends.
Depends on what the definition of is is.
That's what you're getting here.
So, these snakes, these slimy, despicable scum, they're asked directly, this is Merrick Garland, the top law enforcement officer in the country, asked directly, have you had contact with the FBI over the most important investigation in America, looking into the Biden crimes?
And Merrick Garland says, uh, I don't recollect.
That's actually how you know they're guilty.
And then they start getting—then Merrick Garland, like, opens himself up to some real questioning, man.
Troy Nels, who is a favorite of ours, friend of the show, Texas congressman, just ran a steam engine over Merrick Garland yesterday.
You just saw there was Joe Biden in his arrogance and role as the vice president in this country, saying if you don't fire Shoken, the United States isn't giving the $1 billion loan.
unidentified
Why would Joe Biden say that as the vice president?
By the way, Jim Jordan, the great chairman who ran this hearing, Is joining the show momentarily.
They're just finishing up floor votes right now.
And I'm being told that they're wrapping those votes in a moment.
So, Troy Nels was talking about Victor Shokin.
Of course, the guy that everyone loved until he got in the way of Joe Biden and Joe Biden's bank accounts.
And then Joe Biden got him fired by holding up your money to get the man fired.
We have a very helpful chart, a very helpful little diagram here that shows this.
Of course...
Bribery is listed among one of the top reasons to impeach a president.
Treason is the top reason to impeach a president.
And you have bribery and treason in our helpful infographic here for you.
You see, Shokin, the little man down here with the X over his face, Shokin was getting in the way of and was going to bankrupt the Ukrainian natural gas company, Burisma.
Now that would be bad because Hunter Biden and Joe Biden were making all their retirement money from Burisma.
So Joe Biden then...
Leveraged American taxpayer dollars, used his office illegally, held up a billion bucks in order to get this man fired.
And we have him on tape doing it.
We literally have the recordings.
And there are going to be more tapes to drop.
We have that all but confirmed this week.
I've been making a few phone calls.
And so it is very interesting that a member of Congress, a Republican, who is from Ukraine, born in Ukraine, a woman named Victoria Sparts, It probably gave the greatest absolute flamethrower take down Merrick Garland yesterday,
talking about how illegitimate the regime is here in America, how nobody trusts him or his law enforcement.
And she would know, actually.
She comes from what could be considered the second or third world with corruption rampant.
And so it is poignant that Victoria Sparks is the one who really, really dropped the bomb here.
Watch.
unidentified
And people right now feel, you know, I look at Durham report and I call on the fights of violations of queries of millions of Americans, right?
It's like KGB.
But when I read Durham reports, we have this, you have a nice, you know, playbook.
First, let's have a special counsel.
And then you don't have to answer any questions here.
Then...
Let's extend slow-walk investigation on Hillary Clinton, on Hunter.
Everything is slow-walk.
We were very quick on Donald Trump, but you were very slow-walk.
Then, by the time, you know, that investigation ended, statute of limitation expired, and all of your agents need to be tested for amnesia.
No one recalls anything.
Okay, you probably should have as part of your hiring policy.
So no one held accountable, which was egregious, what happened, you know, in that report.
When I read about them, I can't believe it happened in the United States of America.
This is my frustration.
I'll be honest with you.
Then, it's very interesting.
You know, regardless what it is, even people in Obama administration raise concerns.
You know, how can President Sanz be serving on, you know...
Corrupt Ukrainian oligarchs.
Do you understand that it actually can undermine the one Ukrainian effort and policy?
I think these concerns were raised.
The Biden administration didn't do anything about it.
These people are dying right now, and Americans don't trust this president.
So you have a woman speaking from real experience, talking about the corruption in...
Her home country of Ukraine, where she was born, and saying that Joe Biden's administration is a reflection of that same, an extension of that corruption.
It's really profound.
And you can see Merrick Garland there going, huh?
Yeah.
He gave a lot of those expressions when asked about January 6th.
Also something that happened in Ukraine in 2014 was a coup was staged when our State Department helped orchestrate something called the Maiden regime change push in Ukraine.
And that revolution, they were able to install, of course, their Muppets and puppets.
Thus leading, of course, to all the horrors and all of the anguish that Ukraine is going through right now.
I mean, this was an absolutely evil thing for our State Department to do, and we've done it all over the world.
It's wrong.
It's wrong there.
It's wrong in every country that we do this in.
It is undemocratic, obviously.
You can't show me a place where it's worked out great for us, whether it's Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, or Ukraine.
But the trick's up the sleeve, of course.
You know, if you only got one card, you gotta play it.
So that's exactly what happened on January 6th.
Open the doors, entrap people, and then go after Donald Trump for it, right?
How do we get Trump?
How do we charge Trump in D.C.?
Well, let's open the Capitol doors.
Let's make sure there's no security at the Capitol.
Let's stage a moment where people can trespass at the Capitol, as Nancy Pelosi says.
The clip is so telling.
I don't know why nobody else seizes this.
It's because we have the greatest research team in the world on this program.
Nancy Pelosi in her office saying, I've been waiting for this.
Trespassing at the Capitol.
Why have you been waiting for that?
Oh, that's actually what they charge 99% of J6ers with.
Trespassing.
Got it?
Yeah, it was all set up to get Trump.
So Thomas Massey asked about that and said, how many federal agents you had in the audience there?
January 6th.
How many feds were the ones kicking open the doors and breaking down the windows and ushering people in?
How many people, how many little guys with earpieces?
Because, boy, hot diggity dog, there sure are a lot of clips floating around the internet of men with earpieces opening doors.
Now, in that video, that was your answer to a question to me two years ago.
When I said how many agents or assets of the government were present on January 5th and January 6th and agitating in the crowd to go into the Capitol and how many went into the Capitol, can you answer that now?
Ray Epps, disrupting the certification of the 2020 election.
There you go.
So, Ray Epps, to plead guilty to his misdemeanor, may serve no time in jail.
May serve nothing.
Well, that's curious.
Again, ladies and gentlemen, Julie Kelly, who I would have had on had we not been attending to personal matters this week, like, she's just the world's best at this.
She actually goes to the sentencing of these J6ers.
She's followed every single case.
She's been such a fearless reporter, and we'll have her on to talk about this.
Why?
Why is Ray Epps, only after the exposing of Ray Epps via Tucker Carlson, why is that only afterwards is he charged with his little slap on the wrist in order to make the entire issue go away?
This is the definition of a mostly peaceful protest.
Also incumbent in the First Amendment is your right to peacefully petition your government of redresses and grievances.
So every single one of us has the...
The canonized right, as a human being, remember, our Constitution is written on natural rights, we are born with these rights, the obligation to peacefully protest our government grievances.
The way it's written is to redress our government of our grievances.
So, that's what the people were doing that day.
Practicing their constitutional rights.
Okay?
We disavow hooliganism, we disavow people who fight.
Who punched the cops, right?
We disavow the activities of Ray Epps.
Obviously.
Apparently, Merrick Garland doesn't.
And so, ladies and gentlemen, there is someone else who is also simply upholding the Constitution of the United States, who is doing his best, his level-headed best, to simply provide for our country our guaranteed free speech rights.
And that man is Elon Musk.
And for his trouble, Elon Musk is also being persecuted by Merrick Garland.
There are multiple investigations into Elon Musk now because apparently the richest man in the world needs extra goodies from Tesla.
That's one of the investigations.
And then they're also going after Elon Musk for not hiring illegal immigrants.
It's too good.
They're going after SpaceX.
And ALX, check me on this.
They're going after SpaceX for saying they'll only hire Americans.
American citizens at a company that does, like, all of our space-age tech for military productivity.
I mean, some of it.
Like, a lot of it.
Like, the entire Ukrainian war is being fought over Starlink.
Elon Musk's thousands of satellites up in space provides internet everywhere on the planet.
And connectivity everywhere on the planet.
So, they're attacking Elon Musk for not hiring illegal immigrants.
At his space company that serves the U.S. military.
They're a destructive death cult, man.
It's a destructive cult.
Progressives are a sick joke.
It's anything but progressive.
It's regressive.
It's destructive.
And thankfully, somebody asked a question about it.
General Garland, Elon Musk was a Democrat who admittedly supported Biden, but then he became a critic of the administration and exposed the censorship regime.
Now, per public reports, the DOJ has opened not one but two investigations of Elon Musk.
Mark Zuckerberg, on the other hand, spent $400 million in 2020 tilting the elections secretly for Democrats.
No investigations whatsoever.
To the American public, these look like mafia tactics.
So, Elon Musk responding to our great producer, ALX.
And by the way, just an update on Jim Jordan.
He's getting set right now.
He has left the floor for the floor votes, and Jim Jordan will be joining us presently to talk about this hearing that he had yesterday and about the future hearings for Joe Biden's impeachment.
So Elon Musk responding to ALX, ALX talking, of course, about this clip.
No other way to describe it.
Meanwhile, many actual crimes, some of great significance, do not merely go unpunished, but not even investigated.
Something is rotten.
ALX saying in his original tweet that these are mafia tactics.
Yep, no other way to describe it.
So Elon Musk pushing back, saying, of course, you need a green card at least, required by U.S. law to work at SpaceX as rockets are considered advanced weapons technology, but our own government is going to go after Elon Musk.
So not a great group of people.
Pretty bad, rotten group of people.
And they may actually be hiding Hunter Biden's mugshot.
You know this?
So reportedly, Hunter Biden got a mugshot in July.
Crazy.
Hunter Biden's mugshot concealed by the Justice Department.
So instead of putting the mugshot out there, which has worked out great for us, you can see here in our studio, can we do the wide shot?
You see in our studio, we have this massive Donald Trump mugshot with a parental advisory sticker right there.
We love it!
We got a t-shirt with it!
Rock on, baby!
Hunter Biden's mugshot, though, on the other hand, federal authorities are concealing and covering up.
Federal authorities reportedly captured Hunter Biden's mugshot in July.
The photo apparently remains concealed due to the Justice Department's policy.
Hunter Biden's lawyer noted that during the July court appearance that the president's son was processed in the Delaware courthouse by U.S. Marshals and had to get fingerprinted and mugshotted.
For the first time in five years, Hunter Biden will not be getting special treatment.
We told you yesterday that the president's son did not want to show up to his arraignment on gun charges.
He wanted to zoom in from Malibu.
Hunter's lawyer said showing up in person in Delaware would cause too much traffic.
As if Prince Hunter Biden's real concern were commuters in Wilmington.
And the judge ruled no.
The pandemic's over.
Hunter Biden would have to appear just like President Trump did and just like every other federal defendant would.
On September 26, Hunter Biden will be arraigned in person.
Yesterday, we found out Hunter had a mugshot.
The mugshot is from his July appearance, and sources tell us it'll be extremely hard to obtain the mugshot because if a U.S. marshal merely searches the database for Hunter Biden, it'll be flagged and that U.S. marshal will be fired.
So we are calling on all federal marshals, close to retirement, to do what they think is right.
And we'll keep you posted on our FOIA requests, because we know how much Hunter loves the camera.
The only reason we had Paul Pelosi's mugshot after drunk driving, nearly slaughtering somebody with his car, not with his hammer, is because of Jesse Waters' show.
Jesse Waters' show sued, essentially, the state of California, and they were forced to release not only the mugshot, but the video, the police dash cam.
Paul Pelosi, by the way, drunk, high, whatever, slammed into another vehicle.
You can trust that we'll be online for that, along with many other things next week.
We just want a preview for you.
There's going to be a Republican debate next week.
There's going to be Trump giving a speech on the same night.
We're going to have a barn burner that night.
And then there's going to be the next impeachment hearing the next day.
So buckle up, buttercup!
Buckle up, brigade!
We are going to rock and roll next week, and Hunter Biden's arraignment will be beautiful because these people don't know how to handle money, and they're not handling your dollar very well, and things are collapsing right now.
The stock market is collapsing, banks are collapsing, and the entire world seems to be de-dollarizing.
That's not great for our currency.
That is controlled and premeditated decline of our money.
The value in our system is being eroded by these leaders who do not care about you.
That is why it is now time to invest in gold.
Please imagine a future where your retirement is protected from the storms of market volatility and the erosive forces of inflation, recession, government meddling and economic uncertainties caused to you by the Biden family.
Retire with peace of mind.
Go gold with my friends at New at Allegiance Gold, ladies and gentlemen.

So, uh...
There should be somebody who is, and I'm getting word that Jim Jordan is joining here, ladies and gentlemen, momentarily.
But I am really happy we have a moment to get to this next story beforehand.
So there has been an interesting commentary that is percolating.
As you watch these massive hit jobs and these backstabbings happen to the Biden regime.
From their own side.
You're starting to get the sense that they're not going to let Joe get to the finish line here.
Now, we're going to ask Jim Jordan about whether Congress will let him get to the finish line or whether this impeachment inquiry will land with an impeachment of Joe Biden and the proverbial end of his political career.
And will people be cheering about that?
Well, one of the people who will be cheering is somebody who giggled and cackled on camera about how ready she is to be president.
Just a week ago, Kamala Harris asked about Joe Biden's age.
And her answer tells you everything.
Watch.
unidentified
Two very prominent Washington Post articles today talking about President Biden's age.
I'm fine with Biden's age because I'm fine with a President Harris.
Oh my!
Just come on out there and slap it down on the table here, Washington Post.
They're preparing.
They're preparing you for Kamala Harris.
They're really good at predictive programming.
This happens all the time in Hollywood.
Where they'll make a movie about a toxic train explosion in Ohio.
And how all the residents had the earth, ground, and water and air poisoned.
And they'll publish that.
A year before it actually happens in East Palestine.
There are no coincidences, ladies and gentlemen.
There is only predictive programming and planning.
So here they are, laying the groundwork for Kamala Harris.
Kamala Harris was asked, is Joe Biden too old?
And her answer to that is, Joe Biden is the first president to fight climate change.
Huh?
Joe Biden's as old as the Earth's crust.
And Kamala Harris will be extremely excited when she can trod directly over Joe Biden into the Oval Office, or will she be replaced?
Ted Cruz, a man who we respect, a person who we've worked with before, not really like Ted Cruz, gotten to do some cool projects with the senator.
This guy knows a lot about a lot.
Ted Cruz has argued before the Supreme Court, obviously has spent a considerable amount of time in Washington, I think decades at this point, in Washington, D.C., run for president a few times, had a very successful career, obviously, was a major fighter against Barack Obama, was elected in the Tea Party sort of takeover of Congress in 2010, if I'm getting that date correct.
Can you check that, Alex?
And he's been fighting ever since Barack Obama.
Has been the person that Ted Cruz has been fighting against.
And so Ted Cruz knows quite a bit about the Obama family, their plans, how to foil them, as he did with a filibuster of Obamacare in the Senate.
And Ted Cruz is sitting and looking directly down the barrel of the camera and saying, you don't understand people.
It's already been set.
They're going to swap out Joe Biden with Michelle Obama at the last minute.
So, Michelle Obama, number one, you don't infuriate African American women, which is a critical part of the constituency that Democrats are relying on to win.
But number two, you avoid the problem if you pick from any of the four.
The other three are pissed because they're all, to some extent, peers.
They're rivals.
They're all jabbing knives at each other.
Michelle Obama, because she was first lady, has the ability to kind of parachute in above all four and say, hey, we're not picking among any of you.
You guys can all fight it out next time.
You're all going to be on the same level.
We're coming.
This is the Obamas saving the day.
I do think...
Barack Obama is already running the Biden administration.
I think he is already the puppet master behind this Biden White House.
I don't think Joe Biden is the decision maker.
And so when I see the media turning on Joe Biden right now, I think the odds of Michelle Obama parachuting in in August of 2024 have risen dramatically.
and that ought to scare the hell out of anyone who is unhappy about the direction this country is going and doesn't want us to go even crazier in an even worse direction.
And then the third one, which we hope is going to happen here in a couple of weeks, is you'll have to ask David Weiss about that.
Of course, David Weiss is now the special counsel, was the U.S. attorney, of course, still is U.S. attorney who oversaw the Hunter Biden investigation.
So those are sort of his three go-to answers that we heard a lot of yesterday.
But I do think we got some.
Some information I think is valuable for our work, our constitutional duty to do oversight.
Well, he said, this is what's interesting, on March 1st, 2023, so earlier this year, He's in the Senate under oath testifying, and Senator Grassley asked him about the investigation, and he says David Weiss has the full authority to bring charges in any jurisdiction he wants to bring him.
Well, what was interesting is by that point, David Weiss had already been turned down by the U.S. Attorney in the District of Columbia, Mr. Graves.
He had said, no, you're not going to be able to bring the charges you want here.
He had declined to partner to use their lingo.
So what he said to Senator Grassley doesn't comport with what the facts of the case are.
And then, of course, you have the letters that Mr. Weiss wrote to those of us on Republicans on the Judiciary Committee and to Senator Graham, where he changes his story.
He wrote to me on June 7th and said, I have full authority to determine, ultimate authority to determine when, where, and whether to bring charges.
And then 23 days later, he writes me another letter and he says, actually, I can only bring charges in my U.S. Attorney's District in Delaware.
Well, it can't be both.
So that's been a problem throughout this, and they're trying to finesse it and say, oh, no, he always had the authority, but now we're giving him the authority of special counsel.
So we asked this sort of a fundamental question.
If he already had it, why does he need it?
No one seems to be able to answer that.
But just one of the many problems with how this investigation was handled.
Because there's a letter that David Weiss sent to Senator Graham on July 10th where he says, I've not sought special counsel status.
Rather, I've had discussions with people at Maine Justice, at the Justice Department.
Who do you have discussions with?
And again, Merrick Garland wouldn't answer that question, let alone whether he can recall if he ever talked to the FBI.
It seems to me he probably would have.
This is a pretty high-profile case.
But I really think the two biggest concerns about how this was handled, the biggest of all, in my judgment, is letting the statute of limitations expire for tax years 2014-2015.
And I'm convinced the reason they did that were those were the years Hunter Biden got income from Burisma.
And it's one thing to charge Hunter Biden on a gun charge in Delaware.
That doesn't involve Joe Biden.
But the Burisma tax years?
Directly involves the President of the United States.
And so I think that's why they drug this case out.
Every witness we've deposed has told us they slow-walked this investigation.
I think they did it to let the statute of limitations expire on those particularly troublesome years from the perspective of the Bidens.
Because never forget these four fundamental facts, Benny.
Four key facts.
Hunter Biden got put on the board of Burisma, got paid millions of dollars.
Fact number two, he wasn't qualified to be on the board of Burisma.
His words, not mine.
He said he got the job, he thinks, largely because of his last name.
Fact number three, the executives at Burisma asked Hunter Biden, we're under pressure.
Can you help us?
Can you help us in D.C.?
Fact number four, and most important, Joe Biden goes to Ukraine, gets the prosecutor fired, leverages our tax dollars to accomplish that.
Those four facts are why I'm convinced they let the statute of limitations expire for those two.
Two key years where he got millions of dollars of income from this company, Burisma.
And oh, by the way, that last fact, fact number four, that totally comports with what the confidential human source told the FBI and the FBI recorded in the 1023 form that they didn't want to let us see.
So that to me is the most compelling stuff here.
And then you've got this investigation, like I said, trying to sweep it all under the rug.
Mr. Chairman, not only did the FBI not want you to see it, when you were finally able to pry it out of their hands, the FT-1023, they redacted the fact that there were tapes, allegedly tapes of Joe Biden committing these briberies, 17 tapes, multiple tapes, including Joe Biden himself engaging in this bribery activity.
I would like to have you knock down one of the arguments against the impeachment inquiry.
It's amazing how the same songbook gets sent out overnight.
DCPR is really quite the machine, and everyone the next day is saying that there's no direct evidence, very legal language, no direct evidence of Joe Biden getting paid.
In fact, Devin Archer, under oath, Hunter Biden's business partner, talked about the brand, in fact, was Joe Biden.
That's what they were marketing.
You got the whole list of facts, 50% for POPs, the WhatsApp message, where it sounds like a shakedown, the 5,000 fake names used in these emails that are correspondence between the president and family members.
Then you got the 20 companies, the multiple Biden families getting paid.
The multiple times the White House has changed their story.
The multiple times DOJ has changed their story.
And then you got those four facts I just talked about that I think are central to the entire thing.
And they were going to get away with all this at the Justice Department.
They were going to get away with all.
They let the statute of limitations run.
They were going to get it all swept under the rug.
And then you had two whistleblowers come forward and a judge in Delaware who called BS on the plea deal.
But for those three individuals, I think they would have been successful in sweeping this whole thing away.
But you had two brave Americans come forward who were IRS agents, and you had Judge Noritka in Delaware who made the decision and declined to accept the plea deal.
And so these witnesses, we went through a story earlier in the show that Hunter Biden will be subpoenaed, that Jim Biden will be subpoenaed, their bank records.
Because it seems like every 10 seconds they were dragging Ivanka Trump, Ivana Trump, Barron Trump in for a hearing, grilling them over Russiagate or January 6th or whatever.
And the conventional wisdom was four years ago when the Democrats did their ridiculous impeachment of President Trump.
The conventional wisdom was every Democrat would vote to impeach President Trump and several Republicans would join.
We went through that process, got the facts all out there on the table and showed how ridiculous it was.
The vote was actually just the opposite.
Every Republican in the House voted not to impeach President Trump.
Several Democrats joined us, and one Democrat switched parties and is now a member of the Judiciary Committee, a great member of a friend of mine, Jeff Van Drew from New Jersey.
So you never know until you go into this, but we're just committed to digging in and getting the evidence and the facts and doing our duty under the Constitution.
I don't worry about anything politically or anything like that.
Our focus is what the Constitution requires us to do, and we're going to do that.
Mr. Chairman, a final question for you about your bombshell hearing yesterday.
the answer that really rung like a bell to me was when Merrick Garland was asked about the persecution of Catholics and the persecution of the Christian faith and how you are having members There's pro-life, pro-lifers being tossed in prison, little grandmothers being thrown in prison.
They're putting FBI agents inside of Catholic churches.
Now, this seems like such a tyrannical Marxist regime that would be spying on churches and people of faith.
And, of course, a basic constitutional violation of our First Amendment right.
Merrick Garland's response to that, you didn't see him get emotional on anything except for that.
And he sort of rattled off this, how dare you, sir, response.
And I know that you're a man of faith.
And so what is your take on this persecution of Christianity?
I love the power of this audience, the power of what we're building here together.
We're able to bring in the chairman of the judiciary, the guy who's going to be grilling Hunter Biden and deposing Hunter Biden, the guy who deposes Devin Archer.
It's so important that we stay independent.
It's so important that we stay true on this program.
And that we do not have boots on the back of our neck.
And so that is why we thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen, this has been one heck of a show.
It's been great to be back.
Man, it's wonderful to spend some time with your family and then to realize why you do the things that you do.
And so...
I wish to give you some good news as we kick off this episode back of The Benny Show.
Our election update for the day.
Very good news for Donald Trump.
you you you I just love that Joe Biden's in a body cast.
Biden is tied with Trump.
White House facing even more 2024 questions.
Another dire poll for Joe.
Hasn't been a dead heat with Donald!
They're trying to put Donald Trump in prison.
They're trying to put a gag order on him.
They've done everything they possibly could to set this man up to rig it.
And here we are again.
Ladies and gentlemen, Donald Trump comes roaring back.
New poll finds that Joe Biden and Donald Trump tied in a dead heat.
2024 presidential race.
Of course, this is a poll that was delivered to us via Yahoo News YouGov.
So that's an extreme leftist organization, Yahoo News.
And so this is going to over-index Democrats.
And going to over-index probably by a percentage point of like 10. So that's really scary.
That Donald Trump is tied with Biden because that means that Donald Trump is absolutely clobbering Biden.
A McLaughlin poll from three weeks ago found that Donald Trump is winning in a landslide and where the election held today that Donald Trump would in fact win.
And why is that?
Well, because Donald Trump is out retail campaigning.
Here's Donald Trump in Iowa yesterday handing out boxes of pizza, baby.
Let's go.
We like seeing the field take shape.
We like seeing the ideas play out.
We like seeing Donald Trump not play into the trap.
That would be set for him by like a Chris Christie or Mike Pence to like come after him and get their zinger moment on the debate stage.
Donald Trump will be doing a counter-programming once more next Wednesday.
That is the debate day.
There will be a debate, another GOP debate.
We will have coverage of that with Donald Trump side by side, right?
We'll cover what's interesting.
We'll be live for all that.
So it will be another debate-mageddon.
This weekend, we have...
We have been invited to buy a member of the Trump family.
To go and tour some of the, with all access, tour some of the more exclusive properties inside of the Trump real estate portfolio.
You can see here the first one is going to be Trump Tower in Chicago.
We'll have a teaser for you exclusively on the show tomorrow, but this one's going to be a real banger.
It's ushered in a brand new...
It's level jumping for us, this product.
Level jumping.
When you see it, you'll understand.
But it's an honor for us to get this kind of access.
Again, we'll bring you live that Trump interview when we lock that down.
No shortage of attempts.
And we even came this close once, but then, of course, Donald Trump has to go get a mugshot.
So things change quickly, but we are ready to go here on this program, and it is because of you and because we keep our eyes set on true north, because we keep our eyes set on the prize, ladies and gentlemen.
What really matters?
We end with a Bible verse every single day.
Our verse of the day comes from John 14. Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me.
The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and will show myself to them.
There are dark times, and in those dark times, you need the light.
You need Christ.
You need to see.
You must be able to see, otherwise you will trip and you will stumble.
And there are a lot of stumbling blocks out there these days.
Too many to count, to be quite honest.
The world is a sunken place, and it's too bad.
But that's just the way it is.
Them's the brakes.
And so set your eyes on something eternal.
Make sure that you follow the commands of the scriptures.
It may not be popular, but it will lead to a great life.
It will lead to a life filled with purpose and joy, prosperity, and meaning.
Ladies and gentlemen.
And by prosperity, I suppose I mean the prosperity of the heart.
