unidentified		Judge Scott McAfee has struck down six counts against former President Trump and five of his former associates.
		They include his former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, and attorneys Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Ray Smith, and Bob Cheely.
		The dismissed charges relate to allegations the defendants tried to persuade Georgia elected officials to violate their oaths of office and overturn Mr. Trump's narrow defeat in the state's 2020 presidential election.
		According to Judge McAfee, as written, these six counts contain all the essential elements of the crimes, but fail to allege sufficient detail regarding the nature of their commission.
		It goes to the sloppiness of, frankly, the prosecutors down there.
		If District Attorney Fannie Willis chooses not to appeal the judge's decision, legal scholars say she could try a simpler case on the 35 remaining charges, but the six counts in question are really at the heart of her legal theory.
		These are the one set of charges that speak to the Constitution and to the constitutional order and to the heart of democracy, which I think is what's been motivating Fannie Willis all along.
		These counts could be essentially revived.
		If they want to go back to the grand jury, but that will eat up calendar space.
		It may make it difficult to try the case before the election.
		Judge McAfee is still considering a defense motion to have Willis disqualified from prosecuting the case because of her romantic relationship with Nathan Wade, one of the special prosecutors she hired.
		In an interview with WSB Radio, the judge said that his decision on this would be non-political and that he intends to hold himself to a self-imposed deadline of ruling by this Friday.

		music Ha ha ha ha ha!
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		My favorite part about that is the sweaty rising court.
		That's what makes the whole building come down.
		Sitting there sweating bullets being like, did you ever go to a cabin?
		You know I'm the smartest lawyer ever.
		That's why I'm prosecuting Donald Trump.
unidentified		Today is Thursday, March 14th, 2024.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		New Georgia law just signed into effect today, right now.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		These are the first moments this Georgia law is in effect.
unidentified		Let's...
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		The state of Georgia remove Fannie Willis from the Trump case.
		We're going to cover all of it here.
		This is bombshell stuff.
		So now Fannie Willis is facing the dual prongs of disqualification from the judge who may rule at any time, okay?
		Ladies and gentlemen, get ready.
		This is going to be like the royal wedding coverage.
		We're going to have a ticker box in the corner.
		Fox News actually has a ticker box in the corner.
		It's like Fannie Willis' decision could come at any time.
		So get ready.
		Corporate media panics over collapse of cases against Trump.
		And Senator Tommy Tuberville joins the show for the first time.
		My name is Benny Johnson and this is The Benny Show.

		You will, I think, have quite a fun time here, and there's going to be a lot of salt in today's programming.
		I hope you have your salt shakers ready.
		A member of the Benny Brigade actually sent me...
		We hope you're using a phone from Patriot Mobile.
		We hope you're using a Patriot Mobile network connected device.

		Okay, ladies and gentlemen, this one's a very, very interesting day.
		Because, starting today, we always preview the news channels out there.
		And we saw that Fox News has a very special little box-up.
		Now, Fox News has a lot of resources and a lot of reporters.
		And someday we hope to have as many reporters and resources on this program.
		It's amazing the way things are changing right now.
		And we will most likely be having our first Capitol Hill reporter by the end of this season.
		We're going to get so many great clips!
		The amount of resources, the amount of viral moments that are missed because there are not based reporters on Capitol Hill that ask real questions on behalf of the American people.
		Ladies and gentlemen, we're not going to miss them.
		And we thank you, obviously, for supporting this program so that we can do this kind of work for you.
		But as of right now, as of right now, Fox News, with a lot of resources, with a lot of reporters, have up a little icon on their reporting.
		On their live stream.
		Yeah, little icon.
		You can see Fannie Willis awaiting decision on Fannie Willis.
		Okay, so do they know something that we don't know?
		Are we just going to have good luck this morning?
		Will the judge decide?
		Will the judge rule and say that Fannie Willis is disqualified?
		We have all of the indications that he will disqualify her.
		And we'll go through them in the show.
		But this is new.
		And Fox News, again, a lot of resources, a lot of reporters, a lot of sources, and a huge team in Fulton County.
		Like, they have a massive team there in Fulton County.
		They have, like, their best reporters down there.
		So what are they hearing?
		Why would they put up that little box?
		Here's what it actually looked like on the live broadcast.
	We pay attention to these things.
	What's our superpower?
	I went to community college, okay?
	I'm just a dude, all right?
	I'm just a dude.
	I'm a dad.
	I'm a husband.
	Love this country a lot.
	Our superpowers that were alive.
	And we pay attention.
	And pattern recognition.
	We know patterns.
	We see patterns.
	We see those patterns and we're like, wait up.
	Hold up.
	Fox News is doing something totally different today.
	It looks like this.
	They have a box as though it was like the royal wedding.
	As though there's like a royal wedding going on.
	Or like, you know, I don't know.
	The announcement of some type of like major event.
	State of the Union.
	Awaiting some major announcement.
	So, is the decision going to happen right now?
unidentified		We'll see.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		We'll see, ladies and gentlemen.
		That's what we're going to talk about today.
		Here's how Fox News is playing it up.
unidentified		Atlanta, Georgia, Fulton County.
unidentified		A judge there dismissing half a dozen charges in the election interference case in Georgia.
dana perino ▲ ● ▼		That same judge is also weighing a decision on whether to disqualify the prosecutor who brought the case, Fulton County DA Fonnie Willis.
dana perino ▲ ● ▼		This in response to allegations she was dating her lead prosecutor when she So that could come at any moment, as we say.
unidentified		The judge expected to rule any day, could be today.
unidentified		This after Willis' explosive testimony that we watched just last month.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		Explosive!
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Is a very kind way of putting that.
		The judge said two weeks ago that he would make his decision in two weeks, and the judge just confirmed that he's on track to make that decision, and it's going to take him a long time to write this decision.
		He has to really, like, ponder these situations that are before him.
		He has to ponder the fact that Vanny Willis said, if somebody gives me, somebody tells me that I owe them $1,000, they're going to get a G. Judge really must ponder that.
		The judge must ponder the fact that Fannie Willis said, you want me to emasculate a black man in your courtroom?
		The judge has to ponder that one.
		The judge has to ponder the fact that Fannie Willis doesn't know how to wear her dresses correctly and wears her American flag pin upside down.
		The judge has to ponder the fact that Fannie Willis grabbed a ream of paper and started shaking it and screaming at his court.
		You should always have that clip as a play beside.
		Always have that clip as a play beside.
		Do you have it?
unidentified		There you go.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		Ladies and gentlemen, Fannie Willis.
		This is the smartest prosecutor in all of Georgia.
		Come on.
		Grab the paper.
		Start shaking it.
		I mean the paper, okay?
		Trust me.
		I'm not Nathan Wade.
		Grab the paper.
		Come on, Fannie.
		Do it.
		All right, guys.
		We'll find the clip and shorten it up.
		It's my favorite clip.
		It's my favorite clip from the entire trial.
		Fannie Wills grabbing the paper and shaking it and screaming.
unidentified		There we go.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Nothing says bright, sharp, legal minds like that.
		Ladies and gentlemen, the state of Georgia, who I'm not like a super big fan of.
		Obviously, I think the Republicans in Georgia are extremely weak and are quite corrupt.
		But even they have seen what a fraud and what a humiliation this has brought upon their state and the judicial system of their state.
		And so Brian Kemp, who's the governor of Georgia, you...
		Might like him.
		You probably hate him.
		Brian Kemp, again, very, very weak Republican.
		Hasn't done jack for election integrity in the state of Georgia and allowed, effectively, the election systems in Georgia to be utterly compromised.
		I mean, truly, like, I think Brian Kemp is a malevolent figure.
		Yet, a broke clock is right twice a day.
		Brian Kemp signed into law a bill aimed at reigning in rogue prosecutors.
		Amid a wider scrutiny surrounding the Fulton County District Attorney's Office, Fannie Willis, prosecution of former President Donald Trump.
		The bill would allow the Prosecuting Attorneys Qualification Commission, created last year, to determine its own rules as to whether the Supreme Court, without the Supreme Court's approval.
		Speaking to the press about the signing of the bill, Kemp cited the issue of crime, saying the legislation was needed to ensure prosecutors were properly prosecuting criminals and not people because they didn't like their skin color.
		And what we mean by that is, of course, Orange Man.
		Orange Man bad.
		The entire argument for 2024 will be Orange Man bad.
		Get ready for the resuscitation of that meme.
		This legislation will help ensure that rogue incompetent prosecutors are held into account if they refuse to uphold the law, Kemp said.
		As we know all too well, crime has been on the rise across the country, especially in prevalent cities where prosecutors are giving criminals a free pass, failing to put them behind bars for lack of professional conduct.
		Here, where we broadcast, we broadcast out of Florida in Tampa.
		That's where I live.
		And there was a George Soros prosecutor that, like, snuck in under the radar, right?
		There's some mouth-breathing libs in this, you know, in this area.
		It's a pretty split city, right?
		Like, Republican-Democrat.
		It's certainly not a Democrat city.
		But, like, these people can, like, sneak under the radar and they take George Soros' money and they can win these races.
		And Ron DeSantis just nuked the guy from space.
		He's like, oh, you're not going to prosecute crime?
		Boom!
		Gone!
		And he just took the guy.
		The guy sued and lost.
		Now he's gone.
		Ron DeSantis, of course, showing...
		Ron DeSantis is the...
		The best Republican governor in the country, in my opinion.
		One of the worst presidential candidates in the country, but the best Republican governor in the country because of actions like this.
		He actually uses the muscular executive power of the Florida governor's office to straight-up remove prosecutors like that.
		Wouldn't that be amazing in Fulton County?
		He's like, no, you can't just go after Donald Trump for nothing, for specious charges.
		No, gone!
		And so that's what this law is actually allowing to happen.
		Get a load of this.
		When out-of-touch prosecutors, there's a quote from the governor, put politics over public safety, the community suffered, people and property are put at risk.
		Today we are renewing our commitment that we will not forfeit public safety for prosecutors and let criminals off the hook.
		Georgia deserves better and deserves to feel safe in their own communities.
		So, ladies and gentlemen, smart.
unidentified		Smart.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		This has been like a, this has been sort of like a end.
		In the destruction of America, obviously George Soros figured this out.
		Dollars for money.
		This is the easiest way to destroy America.
		This is the easiest way to destroy our great cities.
		Chicago, Detroit, Minneapolis, New York, Philadelphia, put them all on the list.
		LA, San Francisco.
		You just pay a teeny little, just dollars for money, man.
		You put a little bit of money in to one of these prosecutors and they were able to go in and turn the entire city into Gotham.
		Like, open up Arkham Asylum and just, like, let the people rampage.
		And then, of course, you get criminal migrants coming in, criminal aliens, and those criminal aliens commit crimes, and the prosecutors just let them out.
		You need the votes?
		And then they go down to Georgia and they kill Lake and Riley, which is exactly what happened.
		That's exactly the TikTok of what happened.
		And so it's like a very cheap way to destroy America and to kill Americans inside of America.
		And so, thank God the Republican governors are putting an end to this.
		Like, really, really smart and very, very good thing to do.
		Also, ladies and gentlemen, Fannie Willis is facing criminal perjury inquiry in Georgia.
		So, man, not great.
		Not a great week for Fannie Willis.
		And we haven't even started getting to work on her on this program.
		Get ready.
		We haven't even gotten started here.
		Ladies and gentlemen, get a load of this.
		District Attorney and Donald Trump's election fraud case in Georgia now facing perjury charges this week.
		Judge Scott McAfee is expected to rule at the end of the week.
		Could be during this show.
		Come on, baby.
		Make it during the show.
		Let's go.
		Fox News has the little thing up saying it could happen right now.
		Do they know something we don't know?
		We don't know.
		Does Fox News know something we don't know?
		They don't, like, Fox News doesn't give up screen time, right?
		For, like...
		For, like, something that might not happen, they even have a live shot at the courthouse right now.
		So they have a live shot up at the courthouse.
		Any moment.
		Decision on D.A. Willis' fate.
		Whoa!
		That's a new one.
		So that's happening.
		My producer is telling me that's happening right now.
		So we'll see.
		We'll see.
		You know how we do on this program.
		We will literally go live for the next 10 hours if they do this.
		So we'll see.
		We'll see.
		We're here for you.
		Thank you for being here for us.
		We'll see if this judge...
		As here for justice, Judge Scott McAfee is expected to rule at the end of the week as to whether Fannie Willis should be removed from the Trump trial or even face perjury charges as a result of her relationship with Nathan Wade, chief prosecutor in the Trump case.
		Trump and his co-accused claim that Willis only appointed Wade to the case because they were in a relationship.
		Trump's team presented evidence.
		From a technical expert that allegedly showed that Wade made late-night trips to Willis' home long before the Trump case began, one can be convicted of perjury in Georgia for knowingly making a materially false statement under oath.
		However, in order to convict for perjury, there must be more than one witness.
		I doubt that there's more than one witness to our alleged affair at the time, said a New York-based attorney.
		That's not true.
		That's not true.
		There are tons of witnesses.
		We'll stack them up in the show.
		I believe that the distinction should be drawn to the evidence that impeaches the witness and the sense that it affects the witness's credibility.
	There is no more credibility.
	The credibility is gone.
	How bad is it?
	How bad has it gotten?
	Ladies and gentlemen, I love starting the show off with Assault That Lib.
	This is a show where the salt must flow.
	Defense attorney tells MSNBC that the judge pulling...
	Fannie Willis from the case will be the death knell for the case.
	So MSNBC, I love these MSNBC clips.
	We have a series of them where MSNBC gets like red and black pilled live on camera with these legal scholars being like, not only is this going poorly, this is going disastrous.
	Like this is the Titanic happening, but the Titanic is sinking on a dumpster fire.
	On a train that's going over into the Grand Canyon off the tracks.
	This is not good.
	Like, and these people are libs.
	They want Donald Trump to go to jail.
	And they're straight up saying, they're straight up like telling MSNBC, we're doomed.
	It's done.
	We're finished.
	So, stacking up a couple of important things here, alright?
	One, the amount of interest in this trial is not great for Fannie Willis.
	They hope that these kind of things, like when you're getting this kind of attention nationally, Like, that creates pressure on the system, media pressure on the system, that really corrupts the potential of a case.
	This was what happened during the OJ trials.
	The amount of media scrutiny and attention actually began to, like, create immense drama outside of the courtroom, corrupting the case and making it much, much bigger, okay?
	The media attention here is warranted, obviously, but that's a major compounding factor.
	The judge is taking two weeks to decide this issue.
	Remember, Fannie Willis was elected, as far as we know, right?
	Fulton County.
	Lots of shenanigans in Fulton County.
	Watch out for the water pipes inside of the county offices.
	But the judge should just let the DA bring her case.
	That's just the normal process of things.
	This is not normal.
	The fact that the judge is allowing this to happen, and that the judge is sitting there saying, I gotta take two weeks to make this decision.
	That's a very dangerous precedent.
	That's like, Not normal.
	That means somebody effed up, big time.
	And they're on thin ice, if they're on any ice at all.
	And now, the judge, preceding the disqualification ruling, has been nuking from space some of the main charges that make up the bulk of Fannie Willis' case against Trump.
	We covered that yesterday, but he just completely threw out six of the charges before even a trial, saying Fannie Willis doesn't have the evidence to bring these charges.
	He's not even going to allow those charges to be brought.
unidentified		Doom.
unidentified		Boom.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Done.
		Innocent.
		Trump.
		Not even innocent.
		There's not even a ruling.
		The ruling is Fannie Willis can't bring these charges.
		You already lost.
		Before you even presented a scintilla of evidence, you're done.
		So now, ladies and gentlemen, we move on to MSNBC already singing their little siren song, the swan song, on air.
		Oh, and it is salty.
		Oh, and it is delicious.
		And if Fannie Willis gets disqualified from the case, that means the case goes back to the Attorney General of Georgia.
		Georgia has supermajorities for Republicans in both chambers and a full Republican government, just like most states with, like, a big city.
		You look at, like, Illinois is a good example.
		There's one county, Cook County, this is a Democrat county, in all of Illinois.
		The entire rest of Illinois is red.
		Georgia is very similar.
		The entire rest of the state is pretty much red, and there's one county, Fulton County, that's a Democrat-like superstructure.
		Atlanta, right?
		And so, if Fannie's disqualified, you can't take the case anywhere else.
		Everyone else will kill it.
		Everyone else is going to kill it.
		Everyone else is going to drop all charges and say this is a specious case.
		That ain't going to happen.
		So, if they disqualify Fannie, it's game over.
		Right?
		So, ladies and gentlemen, let's cope and seethe with MSNBC.
		That's sort of the setting of the table here.
		Putting meat on the bones.
		Here's MSNBC seething, crying, screeching salt rocks from their faces.
		Help me salt these libs, ladies and gentlemen.
		I want salt shakers in the comment section.
		Salt these lips.
unidentified		you Again, I think this shows that Judge McAfee is taking, you know, his duty seriously with respect to really not letting politics play a part in his decisions whatsoever.
		I just wonder if he would go there, if he would dismiss charges if he's planning to throw out the case or remove it from Fannie Willis altogether, as we await that decision over the question about whether, you know, there was misconduct with her relationship and Nathan Wade.
		Yeah, I mean...
		It shouldn't have anything to do with it.
		These are completely distinct legal issues, and certainly his decision on the disqualification, as we all know, does not kill the case in and of itself.
		He wouldn't dismiss the indictment.
		It would just be reassigned to sort of a governing body in Georgia to then be reassigned.
		However, I myself feel and many other people feel that that would, in effect, essentially be the death knell for this case because, you know, another time when Fannie Willis was, No,
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		death by nuclear atomic weapon.
		Death by salt bomb!
		Ooh, thank you for all that salt.
		We really appreciate it.
		Yum, yum.
		Salt's so good.
		So, we are sitting here telling you exactly what the MSNBC commentators are saying online and on air.
		We're saying the same thing.
		What kind of world is this?
		What kind of world is it where, like, we're saying the exact same thing as MSNBC?
		She's saying that there is no institution in Georgia that would ever pick up this case.
		Georgia's a red state.
		They lie to you and, like, cross the wires and wiggle the wires to try and make it a blue state.
		It's not.
		It's a supermajority red state.
		We've been to Georgia a lot.
		We've done a lot of work in Georgia.
		Those people love Trump.
		You drive through Georgia, we have.
		You see Trump signs everywhere.
		Fannie Willis lives in this teeny little blue enclave, which is really a...
		Like, crime-ridden hellhole, Fulton County.
		We went to Fulton County once to film a man on the street, and we want to go back.
		Now I'm going to regret not going back sooner, because if they disqualify Fannie, we'll miss our window, but we want to go back.
		We went to Fulton County once to film Man on the Street, Rolls-Royce and I did.
		And Rolls-Royce, pop yourself on camera.
		How big were the, show the people, how big were the rats that we saw just running in broad daylight, okay?
		In a very nice part of Atlanta.
		How big were the rats?
unidentified		I have a clip on my phone somewhere.
		The rat was literally like two feet long.
		It was ginormous.
		There's a clip where it runs behind Benny and it's scary how big it is.
		It's disgusting.
		And it was hundreds, hundreds of rats running all over the place.
		I honestly couldn't count, but we'd be walking down the street and just rat after rat after rat all in the park.
		There's like this central park area.
		Right in Atlanta where we were walking through talking to people.
		And there was hundreds of rats.
		And I went out.
		I'll never forget this.
		I went out.
		There was a CVS.
		I was out of toothpaste or something.
		I went across the street at night.
		Shouldn't have done that in Atlanta.
		At night.
		And there was double the amount of rats that came out in that Central Park small area in Atlanta.
		I couldn't believe it.
		And if we go back, I have no doubt that there'll be even more, actually.
		Because he's not done anything that I know about it.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		I am telling you people that if you have an infestation of filth and rats and plague and disease, that that means that you have a government filled with plague, disease, and filth.
		And that is what you're seeing in Fulton County.
		It was the middle of the day.
		I've never seen a city like this.
		It was the middle of the day.
		We were in a nice part of Atlanta, right downtown.
		We were staying in a fancy hotel, right?
		We were staying in a nice hotel because, like, we wanted to be safe.
		We want a hotel with security and stuff, right?
		And right outside the doorstep, I mean, it was like, I mean, it was filthy.
		It's not even Gotham.
		Gotham's kind of cool.
		It was just like, it was like filth.
		It was like third world, third world environment.
		It was gross.
		And so we apologize.
		The people of Atlanta deserve better.
		And you should have prosecutors that are focused on different things.
		Some dude, like, some dude flashed a gun at us while we were walking down the street.
		Some dude threatened us.
		And, like, Fulton County is like a murder, like a murder capital.
		There's so much crime going on in Fulton County.
		I mean, like, we should do, like, a crime special on Fulton County.
		There's so much crime to prosecute in Fulton County.
		The amount of time and resources that are being spent on this, I mean, it's demonic.
		It's really, I mean, it means you must hate.
		You must hate.
		The people that elected you.
		You must literally hate them.
		Because there are so many problems in that county.
unidentified		Okay, just like a quick aside.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		I see that the commenters are summoning ALX.
		Ladies and gentlemen, ALX is always at the ready.
		You may get ALX.
		We may have an ALX.
		Let's build an ALX update into the script because we have a Twitter story later on in the show.
		We'll put in the ALX update.
		Don't worry.
		We watch.
		We listen to the commenters.
		We see the comments.
		We put the comments on screen when we're live.
		Like, don't you worry.
		We listen.
		Everyone else betrays their audience.
		Bud Light, Disney.
		Everyone else is betraying their audience.
		We are, like, focused up.
		Razor focused on this audience.
		People are calling for ALX.
		Well, we're going to build in an ALX update.
		Oh, ALX for VP.
		Okay.
unidentified		Hey.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		He's got the photo with Trump.
		He's got the photo with Trump.
		Trump loves this shirt.
		Never surrender.
		Thanks, Fannie.
		Thank you, Fannie.
		In fact, we went to a Trump campaign event recently with our Trump mugshot shirt.
		ALX was wearing one when we were hanging out with Trump this weekend.
		But we went to a Trump rally with the Trump mugshot shirt and asked people what they thought of the Trump mugshot.
		You want to talk about, like, the biggest backfire in American history.
		Here's just a preview.
		The full video is going to be up this weekend or Friday.
		It's in final edits.
		But here's, like, a quick preview of what Fannie Willis has done.
		Because, ladies and gentlemen, the backfire is here.
		Like, by giving Donald Trump a mugshot, like, what you've done is Given him the greatest political tool.
		Like, is Fannie Willis secretly working for Trump?
		Like, the greatest political tool ever!
		It's awesome!
		It's why we have it printed off in our studio.
		It's like four feet tall.
		Like, that mugshot's massive, alright?
		And we wore this mugshot to a Trump rally, and this was the result, and we hope you like it.
		What's your message to Donald Trump?
unidentified		Thank you for being here.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Why do you like Donald Trump?
unidentified		Because...
		He makes America great.
		Free Donald, man.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, free Trump.
unidentified		Hey, man, I love you.
		Make America great again.
		Hey, he's a big-time gangster, man.
		You know what it is, man.
		Yeah.
		Donald right there.
		Vote for the Trump, man.
		Everybody.
		They scared of Donald, man.
		Joe Biden don't want no smoke, man.
		They ain't stepping for Donald like that.
		They ain't riding for Donald like that, man.
		We riding, man.
		Oh, look at my African-American over here.
		Look at him.
		Are you the greatest?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		You ain't black.
		On August 24th, 2023, Donald Trump received this mugshot from Fulton County.
		This event created the largest political backlash the world has ever seen.
		This mugshot did not ruin Donald Trump.
		It made him an icon, a legend, a gangster.
unidentified		What is this gangster?
unidentified		Can't lie to you.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		In the moments after the mugshot, people were in the streets of Fulton County screaming, Free My Boy Trump.
		Rappers are getting tattoos of this mugshot on their bodies, and even Snoop Dogg's coming out saying, I've got nothing but love for Donald Trump.
		We decided to go to a Trump rally in the Deep South and see what people thought about this mugshot by wearing one on our shirt.
		This is Benny on the Block, Trump mugshot edition.
		Let's go.
		Possibly the longest line I've ever seen for a Trump rally.
		What do you think of my t-shirt, ma 'am?
unidentified		I love the mugshot.
unidentified		Thank you, Georgia.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		This is straight gangster.
unidentified		Gangster.
		I love it.
		It's awesome.
		I love your shirt.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		People putting this on their sheet cakes on their birthday, getting tattoos of this.
unidentified		Absolutely.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Rappers getting like full five tattoos of this.
unidentified		Yeah, yeah.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Don't tell my wife I got one too.
unidentified		Yeah, yeah.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		It's a tramp stamp.
unidentified		On the back.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		How did you know?
unidentified		I knew, I knew.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		I love your shirt, ma 'am.
		It's beautiful.
		You have great fashion sense.
unidentified		Thank you very much.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		What a beautiful mugshot.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		It might be the most beautiful mugshot ever.
unidentified		Oh, good.
unidentified		He's a gangster.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		He's a gangster!
unidentified		I love it.
		I wish I had one to wear tomorrow night when I DJ because I'm ready for Trump to get back in office.
		Love it.
		Love it.
		I mean, just, you know, better profile that, you know, that he's had in the years that he's been in office.
		It says something to the community and it really means a lot for people that, you know, ordinary folks that, you know, that represent freedom and love, you know, people that stands up.
		And even our president and what he's doing.
		He's standing up for us.
		Man, your shirt is awesome.
		When I saw it, I was like, Benny, yeah!
		I think your shirt's awesome.
		That's my favorite picture of Trump.
		Like, I love that.
		Once people saw that mugshot, they were just like, I can't do anything but vote for this man.
		I mean, it's pretty gangster, I mean, the mugshot.
		I think it's pretty funny.
		You know, I've seen the memes and stuff, and I think it's pretty good stuff.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		This is like...
		Backfire, right?
		Because this makes Trump a gangster.
unidentified		Yeah, so drippy.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, he doesn't surrender.
unidentified		I love this guy right here.
		Let me get this guy.
		I love this guy right here.
		Come on!
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		What other shows are doing stuff like that?
		Like, we were having a blast, ladies and gentlemen, at this program.
		We thank you so much, obviously, for supporting us in our work out here.
		We are here to actually do our best to bring as many people.
		It's like we view a political party kind of like a real party.
		Like, you got to have fun.
		You don't want to go to a party where everyone's, like, stuffy and screaming about, like, I don't know, all the pain in their lives and, like, how oppressed they are, what victims they are.
		We'll get to that with Don Lemon later on.
		But, like, you don't want to go to that party.
		You don't want to go to that party where, like, the host is, like, some old creepy old guy who, like, smells, like, old mustard stains and mothballs, and he's sniffing you, and he's, oh, man, talking about his, uh, whatever he talks about.
		Yeah.
		Anyway, no, you don't want that.
		You don't want that.
		You want to go to a party where people are laughing and having a good time.
		That's what you want.
		You want to go to a party like that.
		And so we were like, We're like dead set on creating that here.
		And obviously, well, I think we're winning.
		Boys, I think we're winning!
		Check this out from CNN.
		Trump charges dropped in Georgia case embarrassing screw-up for Fannie Willis.
		This is CNN's legal expert.
		This guy hates Donald Trump.
		And he is a TDS-11 stricken.
		Sad man who deserves a therapist couch.
		Every time he talks about Donald Trump, he gets hives and shakes on air.
		But here he is being like, you know, he can't help it.
		These people can't help themselves because they know this is the last chance the Democrats have to put Trump in jail before the election.
		And it's all blowing up in their faces.
		So he's talking about the judge deciding before the trial, we're not going to allow these charges to be brought against Trump.
		This is such a dumpster fire.
		Of a filing against Trump, I can't allow the main crux of your case, I can't allow that to actually go forward.
		So you're done here, Big Fanny.
		Here's CNN, like, weeping over it.
		We gotta do another Salt That Lib.
		There's one more salty clip.
		We'd never do two Salt That Libs in a row, but we gotta do it, ladies and gentlemen.
		We got the salt shakers out.
		Let's salt this lib one more time.
		The salt must flow.
		Here's CNN weeping on air over Fanny Willis' big, big time.
		F-up.
unidentified		There's been a lot of Fannie Willis F-ups, if you know what I mean.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Let's go.
unidentified		you That phone call is still part of the case.
		There are other charges in the case that squarely relate to that phone call.
		For example, the first count in the indictment, which is the very broad racketeering count, will still include that conduct.
		There are other fraud counts that would still include that conduct.
		So I don't think this ruling changes the type of evidence that the DA is going to be able to introduce, but it does knock out some of the charges.
		And look, it's embarrassing for prosecutors.
		It's a screw-up by prosecutors when you bring a charge and then a judge throws it out before it even goes to trial.
		Thank you.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		It's a screw-up.
		It's the end.
		It's something that's like...
		I mean, what they're not saying there is that these six charges are effectively the brick and mortar and cornerstone of the case.
		And that without it, the case is really, quite frankly, toilet paper thin.
		This is what Jonathan Turley, one of our favorite legal analysts, is saying on Fox.
unidentified		What do you think will happen in this case as it relates to her?
		And what should happen in your view?
		Well, this case is disassembling in front of our eyes.
		This was a very basic error.
		This is a major case, but these prosecutors didn't put together the most basic narrative or facts that have to support these counts.
		The question is, what did the grand jury know?
		If it wasn't in the indictment, how did they vote out these crimes?
		What were they told as the basis?
		Because the judge just said, you're not even telling the defendant what he needs to know to defend himself.
		Now, they could go back to the grand jury and get a superseding indictment, but that's going to take time.
		It's going to take time off the clock.
		And they might have a problem doing what is obviously their overriding purpose here, which is to try Donald Trump before the election.
		They could just go without these counts.
		The judge said, I'll let you refer to the underlying conduct.
		I just won't let you use them as standalone crimes for these particular crimes.
		Ooh, baby.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		All right, ladies and gentlemen, you know us.
		We're going to have our team at the ready.
		If there is a decision by this judge live on the show, it's going to be either today or tomorrow.
		We have that in the judge's own words, in fact.
		In fact, ladies and gentlemen, based on an interview that the judge just did, a radio interview, the guy's been holed up in his office writing this decision.
		Nobody's seen him.
		But he did do a radio interview because judges are elected positions in Fulton County.
		And so the guy's been doing interviews.
		He does stand for election.
		And he has an opponent who Fannie Willis is funding.
		Isn't that interesting?
		Funding directly with petty cash out of her fanny pack.
		But Fannie Willis nonetheless is going to try to run somebody against this judge.
		And he got a phone call on the radio about it.
		And here's what he had to say.
		See if you can pick up in this clip how doomed Fannie actually is.
		Have a listen.
unidentified		And I know it's true.
		So on that side, can you tell us, I have got to ask this question also.
		Can you tell us, are you any close or anywhere closer to that two-week decision on the election interference?
		Are we closer to that?
		Are we sooner than two weeks or outside of two weeks?
		How are we looking?
		I gave myself a deadline because I knew everyone wanted an answer.
		And I'll tell you, an order like this takes time to write.
		There's a lot that I have to go through.
		And so, you know, I've had, again, I'll emphasize this, I've had a rough draft and an outline before I ever heard a rumor that someone wanted to run for this position.
		So the result is not going to change because of politics.
		I am calling it as best I can in the law as I understand it.
		So I still feel like I'm on track to having that done by the deadline that I put on myself.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Two things.
		He's on track to having this done.
		And he already started writing this ruling before they announced the political opponent.
		What does that mean?
		Well, that means the judge has been working on this for some time.
		Now, let me tell you a little something.
		We have...
		Big time friends in the legal profession.
		They come on the show.
		You know we have Brett Tolman on the show.
		We have Julie Kelly.
		We have Mike Davis.
		We have some of the smartest legal minds in the world on this program.
		We're thankful for that.
		For them to come here and give us insight.
		And to tell us about what's actually going on.
		And here's what they tell me.
		These people are the ones who appoint the judges, right?
		Mike Davis was in charge of appointing like a thousand judges.
		So he knows these guys.
		So Mike's talking to me offline.
		He's like, Here's an absolute bona fide reality.
		That judges, typically, they are ordered to just simply go along with the process.
		The process is to let the DA bring the charges and to hear the case.
		The process is not to disqualify the DA for banging everyone up and down her staff.
		That's not the process.
		The process is not to allow these kind of hearings to become absolute catnip.
		For the media and for people that are looking to embarrass the offices and the judicial institutions of the state of Georgia.
		Like that's the judge's job is to uphold those institutions.
		And so when the judge, this is something that Mike told me, when the judge takes this time, when judges are ponderous and like taking this amount of time to issue these rulings, it means doom.
		It doesn't mean they're going to stick with the same old process because that's what they're supposed to do.
		If judges are taking weeks, and if he's, like, having to, like, sit there and, like, go into his office and, like, consult his law books and legal experts and write some big opinion, it means they're gonna disqualify.
		That's what we've been told.
		And he would have damn good reason to.
		Fannie Willis should be facing felony counts in the state of Georgia.
		Now, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, has brought felony charges against, has brought effectively, like...
		Said, here are the felonies that Fannie Willis engaged in, and you must prosecute.
		So as a member of Congress, she's gone to the state attorney general and has these big discharge positions, saying, here are some of the times that Fannie Willis engaged.
		But here's just one that's just on its face, like a bona fide lie, right?
		Here's a bona fide lie.
		Fannie Willis, during her testimony, did you ever go to the White House?
		Go.
unidentified		My next question is based on her opening the door, and therefore I'll just ask it and your honor can decide whether or not it's appropriate.
		When you went to D.C., did you go to the White House?
		I did not go to the White House.
		Well, apparently I'm going to get the answer anyhow.
		There you have it.
		Next question.
		Okay.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		You can hear in that clip, maybe we should slow that clip down.
		You can hear in that clip her counsel, the Bud Light lawyer.
		Mr. Bud Light Law?
		You can hear the guy go, ah, ah, ah, ah.
		You can hear it in that clip.
		You can hear him try to interject and be like, ah, ah, ah!
unidentified		Don't say it!
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		They know this exists.
		They know that there's a Secret Service record of Fannie Willis going to the White House.
		There it is, on your screen.
		Let's zoom in.
		You can see her name, the date and time that she went to the White House and met with the Vice President.
		Fannie Willis met.
		With the White House, Nathan's hot dog went and met with the White House counsel before the indictments.
		So there, Fannie Willis just perjured herself.
		Not only do we have the Secret Service record, so what's your argument?
		The Secret Service lied?
		Secret Service is lying about you going into the White House?
		You know how hard it is to get into the White House?
		We've been to the White House many times.
		You know what a big pain in the ass it is?
		To, like, actually get physically into the White House grounds?
		They don't make mistakes.
		This is not a mistake.
		This required Fannie Willis' social security number, home address, a full background check on Fannie Willis.
		They went into, like, literally, literally, if you have the wrong social media postings, you can't get in the White House.
		This happens all the time.
		Where the White House, like, invites somebody, and the Secret Service says, nope, you're not allowed to come in.
		Criminal background check?
		We didn't like it.
		You did something at some time, at some point, and you're not allowed in.
		Only the president's family gets waved into the White House based on facial recognition.
		And that's how you get the bags of Coke in the White House, actually.
		Don't need to go any further into that one.
		That's how you get bags of Coke in the White House.
		That's not a lie.
		And ladies and gentlemen, what does this mean?
		Well, this means that actually, just based on this lie alone, and we can detail 50 more lies, and we're going to, actually.
		Based on this lie alone, Fannie Willis must be disqualified.
		You just lied, right?
		This is what was the testimony of Ms. Merchant, who's a lawyer for Trump, or the Trump defendants.
		Ms. Merchant testified to the Georgia Senate.
		No, no, no, there's only one.
		There's only one way to deal with this, it's disqualification and potentially disbarment.
unidentified		Why?
		I wonder, okay, so in that testimony, did she deny the start date of this affair?
		Yes, she said it started in early of 2022.
		There was some discrepancy between them, you know, a month or two here and there, whether it started, generally it was around March is what.
		What are the consequences for an attorney to give sworn testimony that she did if you're Bradley, what is it, Yerky?
		Yerty.
		Yerty.
		Your Trackhawk data, your other independent verifications are found to be truthful.
		It's a crime.
		It's a felony.
		You'd lose your license.
		It's perjury.
		Same for Wade.
		Yes.
		And we have, I mean, we have rules that are one of the, I mean, outside of privilege and confidentiality, we cannot suborn perjury.
		So if I have a client who tells me I did it, I can't put them on the stand to say I didn't do it.
		I mean, I would lose my license over that.
		I cannot do that.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		So, wow.
		That seems like super-duper criminal.
		We just proved the Fannie Willis lie.
		We just proved it.
		We just proved it.
		We have the records.
		We literally have the records.
		So, what else do you need?
		Right?
		But we have so much more.
unidentified		We have so much more.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Oh!
		Ladies and gentlemen, there are so many things that we could play for you.
		So many clips we could play for you to blow holes in this prosecutor's office the size of the hull of the Titanic.
		Let's begin.
		Okay?
		Here's one of my favorites.
		It's my all-time favorite.
		Steve Sadow is the Trump lawyer.
		The personal lawyer for President Trump.
		And Steve Sadow presented a text message to the lawyer for Nathan Wade.
		This guy was in business with him.
		And it is a text message.
		Saying, effectively, why are they hiring Nathan Wade?
		They're dating.
		You're just hiring your boyfriend.
		This seems criminal.
		And the lawyer responds, oh yeah, absolutely.
		On the stand, the lawyer responds with, oh, dang.
		When given this information, the lawyer goes, oh, dang.
		Here we go.
unidentified		Okay, in Defense Exhibit 26, which I showed you last time, was two pages of text messages between you and Ms. Merchant, correct?
		Correct.
		Now, the first page starts off by saying, Ms. Merchant, like just date, don't hire him.
		Do you think it started before she hired him?
		You see that?
		You see that?
		Yes, I see it.
		Yes.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
		Not ever a great sign when your lawyer is being presented with evidence and going, oh, dang.
		Never great.
		We've slowed it down for your viewing pleasure in our ESPN instant replay here.
		And we'll have Coach Tuberville on the program in just a minute.
		And so, I don't know.
		Maybe we'll play this for him.
		Because this is worthy of a sports instant replay.
		all day.
unidentified		music
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Oh, man.
		The lies that they told on the stand were so egregious that even MSNBC called them out.
		MSNBC, ladies and gentlemen, played back-to-back clips of Nathan Wade and Fannie Willis lying on the stand about their relationship and then bringing in a preponderance of evidence, including witnesses, fact witnesses, saying, nope, they're lying.
		They're lying about their relationship.
		Again, we'd have to do a show for the next 10 hours to detail every single lie, but let's just go, like, on its face, like the obvious ones.
		They're Fannie Willis' best friend.
		Big Fannie's best friend.
		Is straight up saying, nope, they started dating way before the Trump case, and this is all money laundry between the two of them via the taxpayer dollars.
		Even MSNBC tearfully has to admit on air.
		Watch.
unidentified		When did your romantic relationship with Ms. Willis begin?
		2022.
		When?
		In 2022.
		Early 2022.
		So you were appointed in November of 2021?
		Yes, ma 'am.
		And your relationship started early.
		What's early?
		January?
		February?
		Around March.
		Around March.
		But you two met at an October 2019 judicial conference, correct?
		Yes, ma 'am.
		That testimony directly contradicts earlier testimony from one of Willis' former good friends who said the relationship began well before Wade testified it did and predated his hearing by the DA.
		You have no doubt that their romantic relationship was in effect from 2019 until the last time you spoke with her?
		No doubt.
		Did you observe them do things that are common among people having a romantic relationship?
		Yes.
		Such as?
		Can you give us an example?
		Hugging, kissing, disaffection.
		All before November 1st of 2021, correct?
		Yes.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Just affection.
		Just a basic hugging and kissing.
		In fact, they were so close that Fannie Willis' defense lawyer called her Miss Wade!
unidentified		It's so good!
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		So the guy who...
		What did Donald Trump say?
		They're not sending their best.
		The guy who's hired to defend you, the Bud Light lawyer, Mr. Bud Light we call him, This lawyer, super weak beer, this guy, sweating and, like, shaking like a leaf.
		This guy straight up calls Fannie Willis Miss Wade.
unidentified		Ooh!
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Oh, it's got to hurt.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Watch.
unidentified		As well as large-scale cases like this one, and much larger, and also there's a lot of high-profile prosecutions.
unidentified		If Miss Willis' ultimate goal by hiring Mr. Wade was for her financial benefit, And she would put Mr. Wade on every single one of those cases, though she could certainly revel in the riches and lavish lifestyle that has been referred to by defense counsel.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		They're not sending their best.
		Listen, they're not sending their best.
		We have, ladies and gentlemen, a really special guest on the program here that we are very excited to get to.
		But I cannot...
		Close out this section without playing our favorite moment of the section.
		That proves to you exactly the value of the reporting that we do at this show.
		We have been able to use some new technology.
		May have been given to us by Elon Musk.
		May not have.
		We're not sure.
		We cannot reveal that.
		We've been able to use some mind-reading technology that has allowed us to take a specific clip from this trial and show you exactly what Nathan Wade was thinking about.
		Nathan Wade was asked a very tough question.
		A question that makes most lawyers, Ivy League educated lawyers, Yale, Harvard, some of the best, the cream of the crop, makes them shiver.
		Don't ever ask a lawyer if they've ever been to a cabin, ladies and gentlemen.
		That is the toughest question there is.
		Toughest question there is, have you ever been to a cabin?
		That's what was asked of Nathan Wade, ladies and gentlemen.
		Took him about 60 seconds to answer, but we've been able to use our technology.
		Exclusive and patented and licensed by this program to show you exactly what Nathan Wade was thinking about when asked that.
		The toughest of all questions.
		Nathan.
		Nathan's hot dog.
		Have you ever been to a cabin?
unidentified		Let's see.
		Did you go to a cabin with Miss Willis ever?
		Ever.
		The hardest time we've been together.
		Thought a thing would last forever.
		Now, No.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Senator Tommy Tuberville from the great state of Alabama, a state that is sending their best.
		To the Senate.
		you Coach Tuberville, welcome to the program.
tommy tuberville ▲ ● ▼		Thank you very much.
		Hey, that was awesome.
		And that reminds me of my favorite movie, Cool Hand Luke.
		What we have here is a lack of communication.
		I mean, you can't make this.
		This should be a soap opera, this entire deal.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		We often say it's way better than Judge Judy or Judge Joe Brown or Jerry Springer, even.
tommy tuberville ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yeah.
tommy tuberville ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yeah.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		So, I mean, it's entertaining at the very least, and I guess that's the best you can ask for these days.
		Either laugh or cry, and I think there's a lot of things to smile about, actually, in our movement.
		Senator, this is your first time in the program, but we've been a fan of yours and some of the work that you've done in the Senate.
		You haven't been there for a long time, but obviously you have Donald Trump's endorsement.
		You're very, very close with the president.
		And this has been a really good week for the president.
		We may get a Fannie Willis disqualification live on this program.
		We hope we're live with you when that happens.
		Can you sort of detail for us your relationship with Donald Trump and how you see 2024 progressing going forward to the election?
tommy tuberville ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's been a good relationship with President Trump.
		You know, I knew him while he was president, and then he was part of the reason that I ran for this Senate position.
		He stayed with me the whole time.
		We won fairly easily.
		You said I hadn't been up here very long.
		Hey, five minutes is a long time in this clown show, I'll tell you.
		Every second, there's something different.
		And it's just amazing to me how our country has run on a shoestring.
		And by a bunch of people that most of them never had jobs before, to be honest with you.
		But President Trump's working hard.
		I tell you, I was down playing golf with him, what, last weekend?
		And he is a guy that's got energy.
		He understands the problems.
		And everybody said, why are you really for him?
		Number one, he's been there before.
		He's seen the good and the bad and the indifferent.
		Unfortunately, it didn't work out the second time.
		It should have.
		They pulled a few.
		Put a few blindfolders on our eyes on that last election.
		But that being said, it's not going to happen this time.
		He's going to run away with it.
		He, you know, Biden's not going to debate him.
		But if he did, it would be over during the first debate.
		But I'm looking forward to President Trump taking over.
		I don't know whether we can make it in eight more months, to be honest with you.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Yes, sir.
		Yes, sir.
		I mean, you've obviously coached a lot of warriors.
		You've coached a lot of great athletes.
		And, you know, it's very interesting.
		This weekend we joined Donald Trump at the UFC and it was like people welcoming a warrior into that arena.
		It seems like Donald Trump is creating a coalition that I never thought I'd see in my lifetime.
		And now recent polling shows, and I think we can grab it and put it up on screen.
		We have it available.
		Recent polling shows that now African-Americans...
		Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans are literally sprinting to the Republican Party as somebody who's sort of seen the warrior mentality and coached the warrior mentality your entire career.
		What do you make of this?
tommy tuberville ▲ ● ▼		Well, number one, President Trump's for United States of America.
		I don't know what these people up here are for because you just bring up one thing, that they are 110% in for men playing in women's sports.
		I mean, that just shows you the divide of common sense between the Democrats and Republicans.
		That will be a major issue as it goes along.
		But, you know, as I said, President Trump, every day he brings up a different subject.
		He can speak for hours.
		On and on about the economy, about foreign wars, his relationships with the people outside our borders is much, much needed.
		We have zero diplomacy up here or we wouldn't be in this Ukraine-Russia conflict.
		China would not be a factor.
		But there's so many things that he does well that this group doesn't have.
		They don't have a clue.
		I don't know who the leader is up here.
		And I've been up here three and a half years.
		I don't know who's running the show.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		I mean, it begs the question.
		What are you thinking with this McConnell resignation?
		I guess that took some people by surprise, even though he's been up.
		Obviously, McConnell's been there since the Stone Age, but now there's going to be a big leadership race.
		Any thoughts on that?
tommy tuberville ▲ ● ▼		Well, it's time.
		Leader McConnell's been up for a long time.
		He's not a Donald Trump fan.
		We need somebody that's a huge Donald Trump fan that's going to be leader of the Senate, because we're going to take the Senate.
		President Trump's going to win.
		But we've got to win the Senate, and by doing that, we've got to have a new leader that's going to be on the plane with President Trump going to Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, you know, all the places that we really need to win, which I think we can, but it's going to take a full effort from everybody, including a new leader of the Senate.
		But again...
		Leader McConnell was up here for a long time, did some good things, but it's time to move on.
		It's time to get a new head coach, and I think that we'll get the right person.
		It's going to take a little bit of time.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		One of the things with Leader McConnell that has really been a bee in the bonnet of the Republican base has been inaction on the border.
		I know this is a massive issue, obviously, for you, and you've introduced bills to try and fix this problem.
		What is the issue here, right?
		So this kind of stems back to Mitch McConnell being one of those people who said the border wall was too expensive, yet $100 billion, $200 billion for Ukraine is not expensive.
		Ukraine is now, we just learned this morning, building a border wall with Russia.
		So all that money is going to be used to build a border wall in Ukraine and not here in America.
		And then we've seen utter inaction and including a very humiliating...
		A down-in-flames border bill that was proposed just recently.
		Not even Mitch McConnell voted for his own bill.
		How do we fix this?
		You have what seems to us like some very smart ideas.
tommy tuberville ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, total lack of organization from our leadership all the way down to in our caucus about...
		About the border.
		Now, we are against what's happening at the border.
		Joe Biden just thought this up, along with Barack Obama over the last, what, 10, 12, 14 years.
		They want everybody to come here.
		They're globalists.
		We need to take care of everybody.
		But that can't happen.
		We can't afford it.
		The American taxpayers pay in close to $5 trillion a year.
		And Benny, we're spending a trillion dollars every 100 days over what the American taxpayers are sending.
		And a lot of that is going to people that's coming across the border.
		But again, we're hearing about all this TikTok stuff.
		And listen, we need to protect our kids from these outside agencies in terms of social media.
		But what about the 300 people a day that are dying that fentanyl is being sent from China?
		You know, how about that?
		How about the farmland that China is buying next to our military bases in this country?
		And we're worried about a damn social media app.
		I mean, absolutely amazing.
		We're being attacked on our border from people outside the country and inside the country.
		And we're worried about an app.
		And again, I do not want our kids brainwashed by China.
		We've got other apps that brainwash our kids here, too.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		I mean, what's the biggest threat to the country?
		It seems like counting people who aren't Americans in our census and then allocating and apportioning political power based on non-Americans inside of America.
		And this is something that I think is quite shocking to those who don't know that it's happening.
		And this, I believe, is really at the root of why the border is open.
		And why now we're watching crises occurring, like in Haiti, for instance, and you're seeing Guantanamo Bay being outfitted to be turned into a refugee camp.
		That's the next thing.
		That was the news from this morning.
		Are you in favor of that?
		I mean, is there a way to put a stop to this?
tommy tuberville ▲ ● ▼		Well, the biggest threat to our national security, Joe Biden, we saw that a week ago.
		Here's a feeble old man that gets up there and he can't.
		He speaks 100 miles an hour.
		He had to drink a case of Red Bull before he got up there.
		He can't find his way around.
		God bless the guy.
		It's time to move on.
		We need somebody up there that actually understands what's going on.
		But the biggest threat to our government as we speak is that border, as you just said.
		Now, get ready.
		We're going to be bringing Haitians in.
		We're going to be flying them right over the border, landing in the red states, trying to infiltrate and bring the census problem down for the...
		Republicans and changing every state to blue.
		One thing a rumor I continue to hear is, you know, we've got this horrific war over Gaza.
		Well, Joe Biden will end up bringing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from Gaza here to our country.
		Now, number one, they hate us.
		We're second on their list behind Israel.
		But he is going to bring these people to the United States because he thinks that they will vote Democrat for no other reason.
		That's what they want to bring people in here for.
		Haitians, Palestinians, lock our border down.
		Let's gain control of our deficit.
		Let's protect the American citizens and quit this BS of trying to make good on Democrat policies that want to make this country worse every day and turn us into a socialist communist country.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		I mean, it does seem like...
		This is absolutely the play.
		There's no explanation other than this explanation.
		And why else would you do this unless you hated the people that actually naturally live here in this country, the people that are born here in this country?
		They clearly weren't getting the power and the results fast enough.
		And so for us, I mean, it makes perfect sense.
		Even Elon Musk seems to be posting about it every single day on X that this is something, this is the plan.
		Elon Musk seems like a pretty smart guy.
		You just see the actions.
		Like, for instance, Lakin Riley.
		You talk about Joe Biden's State of the Union.
		That's the, I mean, if he didn't drink enough Red Bill or didn't get enough of a cocktail or there weren't enough baggies of cocaine at the White House for him to get Lakin Riley's name right, he said Lincoln Riley, and then Joe Biden apologized for calling her murderer and illegal.
		I mean, do they, how much do they just hate us?
		They must just hate us.
		I just hate regular Americans.
tommy tuberville ▲ ● ▼		Benny, it is an absolute confused state up here.
		I get up every day, and I'm not a politician.
		I was a football coach, but I actually had a job.
		And I went into communities and schools and cities all over the country and got to know parents.
		And we've got a great country.
		We've got a great group of Americans that love this country.
		But these people absolutely want to change this.
		I think they love this country, but they don't love the way it is.
		They want to totally change it to something else.
		And they're headed in that direction.
		And to do that, you've got to have an infiltration of people outside this country to come in to believe and give you the power that you desperately want to continue this nonsense that they're doing.
		Every day, you know, I just shake my head going, what are we doing in education?
		What are we doing with law enforcement?
		What are we doing with the DOJ, the FBI?
		You listen to guys like Adam Schiff from California running for Senate.
		I mean, this guy's got a chance to be a United States senator from California, and he can't tell the damn truth.
		I mean, he will lie when the truth's better just to make Donald Trump look bad.
		They hate this guy.
		They hate Donald Trump because they know he's for this country, and he knows they all know.
		He's for the American people and not for people outside this country.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		So you, obviously, you did spend your professional life as a football coach.
		You read a lot of energy.
		It does feel like there's an energy shift right now.
		It seems spiritual.
		It seems like people are really awakening to this system that is not designed for human flourishing and that they are, I mean, you go to the south side of Chicago, we have.
		You go to the south side of Chicago and you ask people on the street, Like, what they think about the open border.
		And those people will tell you that they have torched, they have ripped up their Democrat voter card.
		And they will never vote for Democrats again because of this.
		I think that this is, like, having a backfire effect.
		Are you seeing that in Washington at all?
		Does the people in one, does anybody on the Senate, like, start to, like, actually feel this?
		We're seeing a lot of resignations.
		We're seeing a lot of people leaving Congress.
		I mean, could we be facing potentially a, like, America first moment here?
tommy tuberville ▲ ● ▼		I think you really are, especially the inner cities.
		We've destroyed the education in inner cities.
		That's the reason we need school choice.
		The minorities in this country have no chance if they continue to vote for the Democrats.
		They have done nothing for them.
		They need to wake up and smell the roses and vote for somebody like Donald Trump that's going to go out there and help them.
		Vote for senators and congressmen that are going to help your communities, not steal from your communities.
		It is atrocious.
		I've been in homes that you'd be shocked at how people live, recruiting young men when I was in coaching.
		And they just wanted out.
		They wanted a better life.
		And that's what I'm telling people.
		Get away from this.
		There's no Democratic Party anymore.
		It's all progressive, far-left, globalist, communist.
		But get away from that.
		Because really, there's not a Republican Party.
		You're either American or you're anti-American.
		That's how it is now.
		And you better start voting for people that love the country, that want people to have a better life, instead of stealing the life and the lifeblood out of the United States of America.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Senator, I know we only have time for one more question, but I gotta hit on this.
		One of the homes that you went into to recruit from is The Rock.
		And you coached The Rock at Miami, and he's been seen on Capitol Hill.
		He's been seen doing endorsements and in politics.
		We have sort of a...
		On the show, like, so we've seen him actually, like, come around and apologize for certain things.
		Like, I have sort of a split opinion of The Rock, but I don't know.
		I wanted to sort of, like, toss it out there.
		Since you know the guy, like, is he planning on running for president?
		Is he planning on running for office?
		You know, are you friendly with him?
		Do you communicate with him?
tommy tuberville ▲ ● ▼		Well, I never thought I'd be a United States senator either.
		So you just never know what's going to be down the road and way life.
		The direction life takes you.
		I can remember bringing Dwayne, who's a rock, into my office.
		I was defensive coordinator at Miami when he was a freshman.
		I said, what do you want to do for a living?
		You know, when you get out, he said, I'm going to be a wrestler.
		I said, Dwayne, we play football here.
		You want to be a wrestler?
		But not knowing, you know, some of his relatives have been in wrestling before.
		And I'll never forget, you know, he played good.
		He's a good player.
		Unfortunately, he played behind Warren Sapp most of the time, who may be one of the best players I ever.
		I think he's pretty political.
		I think he looks at the things out there that are in front of us in terms of policies.
		I think he's into it more than Aaron Rodgers, I'll be honest with you.
		Aaron Rodgers is vice president.
		He might be a good one, but I think Dwayne would be He'd be a breath of fresh air if he wanted to get into it, but I need to sit down and talk to him before he does it and fill him in on a few things.
		Your voice up here, I don't care who you are, unless you're the President of the United States, your voice doesn't go very far.
		It only goes as far as you can scream, and that's what I've been doing since I've been here.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Well, keep...
		Keep yelling, Coach.
		We've really been admiring your work and obviously getting wokeness out of our military.
		There's a bunch of topics we'd like to touch on here.
		But I guess we've got to conclude by saying don't let the Rock run as a Democrat.
		We saw him endorse Joe Biden.
		We saw him do the fundraiser with Oprah that had a big backfire.
		Don't let him do that kind of stuff.
		Don't let him turn into John Cena, please.
		The guy still has a little bit of dignity and respect.
tommy tuberville ▲ ● ▼		There's a lot to politics, Benny.
		There's a lot of water underneath the breeze, but you're right.
		The guys like The Rock could do a lot more from his platform that so many young men and women look up to him and talk about how great this country is.
		Look what it gave him.
		It gave him the chance to make To be a superstar, but also help a lot of people make money.
		I know where he started.
		I know where he came from.
		I know where he's at today.
		And only the United States of America gave him that opportunity.
		No other country would have ever given him that opportunity.
		So hopefully he will spread the goodwill and let people know what this country gave him.
		Stay out of politics and just talk about what's good about our country.
		We need to elect leaders, no matter what, no matter who they are, that want our country to become better and give people that same opportunity.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		I mean, he's welcome to wear a MAGA hat through 2024 as far as I care, but just don't endorse Joe Biden.
		If you get this kind of opportunity from this country, I mean, Joe Biden's like robbing that opportunity from so many young men and women.
		Don't let him endorse Joe Biden again.
		We beg of you, Senator.
		Thank you so much for being on the program.
		God bless you.
		Everyone follow Coach Tuberville, please, right over here.
		And keep fighting the good fight, Coach.
tommy tuberville ▲ ● ▼		Okay, Benny.
		Thank you very much.
		Talk to you soon.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		God bless you.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Godspeed.
unidentified		God bless.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		you We have not heard.
		From the judge in Fulton County.
		We will be going live whenever that ruling comes in.
		Watch.
		Watch.
		We, like, take the show off, and then the judge makes the ruling.
unidentified		Bah!
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		That's okay.
		We'll just flip it right back on again.
		Don't you worry.
		We are ready and prepared.
		We are in a war footing here, ladies and gentlemen.
		There is a show, though, that did get flipped off yesterday.
		A big old flip-off.
		From the bird, or at least a company that used to be a bird, X. Ladies and gentlemen, Elon Musk canceled Don LeMond's show on X on Don LeMond's first day of the job.
		The background here is that Don LeMond was fired from CNN.
		Elon Musk, in his magnanimity, decided to give Don LeMond a show.
		And, well, predictable.
		Don LeMond.
unidentified		F'd it up!
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		And to tell us all about it, ladies and gentlemen, our ex-expert, ALX, with an ex-update.
unidentified		Thank you.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Ask and you shall receive.
		If we see commenters saying, get me some ALX, we got them, boys.
		Alright, so this was a...
		This has been a very busy 24 hours for Elon Musk.
		Can you give us an update?
alex lorusso ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, so basically he agreed to a deal with X to have some sort of exclusivity on the show.
		The details of the contract weren't public, but from what I have heard, so Donald Lemon already originally planned to relaunch a show.
		His Don Lemon show after getting fired.
		And the exclusivity agreement was going to be he would post it first on X, and then 24 hours later, he could post it on other platforms.
		So his first interview scheduled with Elon Musk.
		And as you accurately predicted yesterday, what happened is he went in there, and as Elon described it, as a CNN interview.
		Meaning he went in there and just started spewing his own conspiracy theories about the Great Replacement and blah, blah, blah, and saying, oh, you're pushing all of this.
		X is anti-Semitic and all of this garbage.
		And Elon's like, you know, I don't really have to take this from you.
		Like, this interview is like, you know, a gotcha interview type of thing.
		And it turns out he didn't actually sign the contract.
		So he, I guess, technically didn't even get fired because the contract wasn't finalized and signed yet.
		And then Don Lemon went on this rampage yesterday calling about free speech and censorship.
		It's not like he's been banned from the platform.
		He's just not getting paid extra to post on the platform.
		He's monetized and has the freedom to post his show there like any other user, and he's complaining about free speech.
		But yeah, so he went to CNN last night, the place that fired him to complain about this.
		You know, just the irony of him having to grovel back to CNN and complain about this was just, you know, entertaining to see last night.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		We have the video all queued up.
		I think this is probably the right time to play it.
		This is our cringe alert of the day, ladies and gentlemen.
		Don LeMond comes crawling back to go complain about Elon Musk.
		What a piece of human garbage man this guy is.
		Very cringey.
		Cringe alert.
		All right, let's go.
unidentified		Is that?
don lemon ▲ ● ▼		Do you believe that X and you have some responsibility to moderate hate speech on the platform?
don lemon ▲ ● ▼		That you wouldn't have to answer these questions from reporters about the Great Replacement Theory as it relates to...
unidentified		I don't have to answer these questions.
don lemon ▲ ● ▼		...the Great Replacement Theory as it relates to Jewish people.
		Do you think that...?
		I don't have to answer questions from reporters.
unidentified		Don, the only reason I'm doing this interview is because you're on the X platform and you asked for it.
unidentified		Otherwise, I would not do this interview.
don lemon ▲ ● ▼		So you don't think, do you think that you wouldn't get in trouble or you wouldn't be criticized for these things?
unidentified		I'm criticized possibly.
		I could care less.
		Illuminating in so many ways.
		I have two things I want to ask you about that, Don.
		First, the great replacement theory.
		As you bring it up, you know, he has tweeted, a tweet he shared, increasing illegals boosts Dem voting power, causing them to recruit more.
		If Dems win President, House, and Senate, they'll grant citizenship to all legals, and America will become a permanent one-party deep socialist state.
		Right?
		He has gone there directly.
		How much does he stand by these ideas?
don lemon ▲ ● ▼		Well, he didn't quite seem to understand that he did...
		Originally, he did that with Jewish people.
		Sort of a great replacement theory thing that he did with Jewish people.
		And he got in trouble, and he had to go to Auschwitz and answer questions and apologize and go with Ben Shapiro.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		What a smug asshat, this guy.
		Here's Elon responding to you saying CNN used your interaction.
		Elon saying, only people walking through airports watch CNN.
		Actually, CNN lost that contract.
		So now airports are...
alex lorusso ▲ ● ▼		That's what I replied.
		I said, no longer do people in airports have to suffer with an article saying that they removed them from the airports.
		But I don't even know what Don Lemon was talking about.
		The post is about illegal immigrants being counted in the census.
		And basically...
		My point was it incentivizes Democrats to get illegal immigrants in their district so they can become more powerful.
		And Don Lemon is talking about the Great Replacement being something with Jewish people.
		It has nothing to do with race.
		It has to do with illegal immigrants coming into the country and being counted towards people that are elected in our government.
		And they have that on screen, Elon Musk amplifying it, saying that that has some...
		Somehow, like, anti-Semitic or something.
		But yeah, he went on in that interview to complain about free speech, like I said, and said, oh, Elon Musk doesn't believe in free speech, and I believe that, like, you know, people that disagree with me, that's the type of speech we have to protect the most.
		But then also, like we just saw, he was calling for more censorship.
		So I went back and I dug up his reaction to when Donald Trump got banned from Twitter 1.0.
		And we have that clip.
		So let's see how he reacted and how pro-free speech he was back then.
don lemon ▲ ● ▼		Because people like you and the like carried his water and told lies.
		Allowed the lies to spread.
		That's why.
		Senator, nobody asked you to be the editor of the president's Twitter feed.
		The one he has been permanently barred from, the one he is whining about, about how they've taken away his freedom of speech.
		The fact is, these are private companies.
		They have no obligation to have anyone on their platforms.
		These are decisions that have nothing to do with Congress, except perhaps for people trying to kill them.
		Think about it this way.
		If they're going to espouse freedom of speech being taken away, perhaps this will help you understand if you frame it in that.
		If you frame it in the freedom of religion argument that you use so much.
		Twitter and Amazon and the like, they are the Christian bakery.
		Okay?
		Trump is the gay couple who wants a gay wedding cake.
unidentified		I'm going to go to the next one.
don lemon ▲ ● ▼		First Amendment.
		Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
		That's what it says.
		It says nothing about Twitter or social media.
		The Congress.
		Don't get it twisted.
		Stop using that argument.
		It makes no sense.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Oh, it's so hard!
		Never give me another 60-second Don Lemon clip ever again.
		This guy.
		Who gave this guy a job?
		Imagine if, like, ALX, you and I wouldn't have careers if, like, the way that you or I talked was to say, like, the fact is that they...
		That we live inside of a democracy.
		What is that?
		What kind of delivery is that?
alex lorusso ▲ ● ▼		That's why he got booted to the morning show and that didn't work out.
		The morning show is no longer existing.
		That's gone.
		He's gone from CNN.
		And then for him to talk about the wedding cake thing or whatever, it's like...
		You can't even compare that because there are five big social media platforms and how many different bakeries are there or grocery stores?
		Those aren't comparable examples, number one.
		Number two, they aren't forcing the social media platforms to violate their religious liberties by having Trump on the platform.
		So it's not even a comparable argument.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		No, and as you actually listen to that argument, if there is one, I mean, it's really thin, gruel, really weak beer.
		But if there is an argument that he's making that I suppose I would put my stand for approval on, which is it's a private company.
		And Twitter X is actually more private now than it was when he was talking about it.
		It's a private company.
		You can do what it wants.
		Well, guess what?
		Don Levin wasn't banned.
		So the equivalent thing would be to delete his account and say he's banned from the platform forever.
		That's what actually anti-free speech would be.
		And that's what they did to us.
		That's what they did to you.
		That's what they did to the president.
		Don Lemon is still allowed to even...
		Don Lemon can make revenue off of X. Yeah.
alex lorusso ▲ ● ▼		And he's complaining because he doesn't have a contract of, you know, an exclusive contract with them.
		Like, I really don't understand, like, what the argument for free speech, quote unquote, is here.
		And he went...
		I think it was like a 25-minute segment last night where he was just, you know...
		Crying on air about it.
		And it just made absolutely no sense because he kept going back and forth between free speech and then calling for more censorship on the platform saying that there's not enough moderation.
		So I can't square that.
		It's anti-free speech because you're not locked in a contract and making extra money for posting there.
		But you want more censorship.
		Doesn't really make sense.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, join the pal.
		Join the club, pal.
		Elon, if you're watching.
		We'll happily take Don Lemon's contract.
		Moving on over here.
		We have a million more followers anyway.
		Moving on over here.
		Way bigger than Don Lemon.
		We have an actual real audience.
		Don Lemon is corporate astroturf for the last 20 years.
		And we actually agree with free speech.
		We have people on this program that disagree with us all the time.
		We have big conversations about it.
		It's great.
		ALX, I think that the...
		Final question on all of this is, what is happening on X when it comes to, like, as a video platform?
		Is X trying to, like, move into the YouTube space and turn into, like, a video streaming platform space?
alex lorusso ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, so they're going to be, and they've already rolled this out for bigger accounts, but they're looking to expand it.
		The issue with turning on the monetization right away is because they weren't selling that ad inventory to advertisers to have in-stream ads.
		So that's kind of the model that YouTube has taken over the last 10 years, and they've become the masters at it.
		And then Facebook started doing it, but Twitter 1.0 really didn't invest in that type of stuff.
		They only had it for big brands and news agencies or whatever.
		But they've recently expanded it to larger creators on the platform, and they're going to expand it to the general population once they have the inventory to do so.
		But that's kind of where they're going with that.
		And, you know, really improving the interface.
		And I think live streams will also be monetized.
		But now the new angle that people are hitting because of the TikTok potential ban is that they want short form as well to be perfected, like sort of like bringing back Vine.
		Yeah.
		Like my idea would be sort of like what Instagram does and have like the Reels tab with a separate feed.
		You can already do that sort of that, but it's harder to get to on X. If you click on a video and then scroll up, you can have that sort of same interface, but it's not like a different feed.
		So, you know, Elon was talking, I think it was Tim Pool who posted about it last night, and he replied, he's like, what do you suggest?
		Like, how could we do this?
		So, they're looking to invest in short form as well.
		So, we'll see what the future looks like, but they're investing in video, it looks like.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		The future looks bright, and as we often talk about, online and literally on the stream, Always feel bad for the super rich people.
		Always feel bad.
		Go through Don Lemon's Instagram.
		Go through Don Lemon's Instagram.
		Like, it's nothing but private jets, yachts, private vacations to Italian beaches.
		Feel bad.
		Again, the entire Democrat ecosystem, outrage ecosystem, is feel bad for me.
		I'm a multi-millionaire.
		I'm Alyssa Milano.
		Like, you must always feel bad for the super rich multi-millionaire.
		Man or lady.
		Michelle Obama, whatever.
		Insert Hillary Clinton.
		Feel bad for them, right?
		They're the victims.
alex lorusso ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's so tone deaf.
		And they, like, don't even get it.
		Like I said, like, he's going on for 25 minutes yesterday about his free speech while he's, like, calling for more censorship of people.
		So it's just, like, they're so tone deaf and they don't realize what they're saying.
		Like, they don't take a minute to, like, hear exactly what's coming out of their mouths.
		It's just so contradictory and tone deaf.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		I think it's such an alpha move.
		Other people would be scared to fire Don Lennon.
		It took 20 years for CNN to fire him.
		And that guy never rated.
		That guy never got ratings.
		He's a deeply untalented, deeply low IQ individual.
		I mean, you can just tell by the way he talks.
		You can just tell by the way he talks.
		Yeah.
		Well, here, I'll sign you off.
		I'll sign you off like I'm Don Lennon.
		Excuse me, everyone.
		Please follow.
		ALX?
unidentified		Okay?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Like, if you don't, who even are you?
unidentified		Okay?
unidentified		Like, follow ALX.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		681,000 people.
unidentified		Uh, can't be wrong.
unidentified		Okay?
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Please.
unidentified		Ugh.
unidentified		Ugh.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		See ya, ALX.
unidentified		See ya.
alex lorusso ▲ ● ▼		Thank you.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Later, homie.
unidentified		Outro Music.
unidentified		Thank you.
benny johnson ▲ ● ▼		Good riddance!
		Good riddance!
		Ladies and gentlemen, we await, as we await, the judge's ruling in Fulton County.
		Unfortunately, it may not happen during our show.
		So we've done the best that we can.
		We've done the best that we can.
		We've gone for 90 minutes.
		And, well, it looks like tomorrow may be the day.
		Nothing from the judge yet.
		So we will look to the future.
		The future looks bright.
		We're very excited about it.
		You should march into the future with us.
		March in the Benny Brigade.
		Join the Benny Brigade.
		BennyJohnson.com You can join the Brigade there for the price of a large waffle fry from Chick-fil-A.
		We actually checked this.
		Yes.
		For the price of a large waffle fry from Chick-fil-A.
		You can join the Benny Brigade.
		And if you do join the Benny Brigade, I promise you that I will never do the Don Lemon impersonation again.
		Ashley, who's a producer on our team, has informed me that the comments section says that I should never do the Don Lemon impression again.
		So, here's my bargain with you.
		If you join the betting brigade today to keep us independent, because we can choose to do whatever we want on this program, we actually, we'd love to have a contract with X, but we don't, like, we love being independent.
		Do you know what I mean?
		Like, no matter what, nobody's gonna buy this programming.
		We're gonna be able to, like, go live and do the news.
		Corporate media locks you into a box.
		Golden handcuffs, they call it.
		That's why the Benny Brigade keeps us going, keeps us independent, so that we can show up for you.
		Please show up for us, and you have my word, I will never, never pull out the Don Lemon impersonation again.
		Don Lemon.
		Don Lemon.
		So, so sour.
		So sour, they named him Lemon.
		Maybe we should do a Lemon That Lib.
		We'll see.
		Ouch.
		Lemon.
		It stings!
		We'll work on it.
		We'll work on it.
		Okay?
		We'll work on it.
		No, I'm not going to do Yum Yum Lemon.
		No.
		Ladies and gentlemen, we thank you for your support.
		We appreciate you.
		We love you.
		And we know that it is our job.
		It is our charge to actually give you uplifting.
		We wish to give you the uplifting of Fanny Willis being disqualified for this show.
		But we could not manifest it.
		That's okay.
		We can manifest a Bible verse for you and guarantee that you get uplifting no matter what kind of news cycle we're in.
		From Matthew 6, 3, 3. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.
		The more you read the scriptures, the more simple you actually realize commands of Christ are.
		The commands of Christ are quite, like, really, like, really break down.
		He's asked once the most important commandments.
		You have to love God.
		You have to love people around you.
		Love the people around you.
		Love God.
		Like, serve God.
	Everything else, God will take care of.
	God will take care of it.
	Look at the birds.
	Look at the flowers.
	Like, look at the splendor of these things.
	And these things don't even worry one little second about their lives or their time on this earth.
	And God provides for them.
	And God will provide for you.
	Seek ye first the kingdom of God.
	And all these things will be added unto you.
	Ladies and gentlemen.
	Live a life of addition, not subtraction.
	With us, march forward to victory.
	Our victory is assured.
	Pretty inspiring message there.
	That's what keeps a smile on our face.
	No matter what, we will win.
	I'm fighting right alongside you.
	It's your boy, Benny.
